A man in his late 20s who is bothered by prominent nipples, both in shirts and with his shirt off. He had gynecomastia surgery elsewhere 6 years before for gynecomastia that had developed in his 20s. He continues to be bothered by the prominence of his chest and does have some residual gynecomastia with his “hands on head view” that is accentuated by his nipple projection. He also has a keloid on his left breast that was noticed after his surgery. This itches and is painful. He does not want more surgery for his gynecomastia, but wanted a simpler procedure so that his chest is not as noticeable in fitted shirts. I performed a nipple amputation technique as well as a Kenalog injection into his scar. At 6 weeks, he is thrilled with the contour, the itching of the scar has resolved, and the scar is somewhat improved. An additional Kenalog injection was performed, and I will have him use topical silicone. He is now happy with the appearance of his chest in and out of shirts.
