Gynecomstia Surgery developed by Generation

The most desirable for gynecomastia surgery is not to leave a scar at all.  

However, the reality is that a small hole is needed to insert an instrument for liposuction and for the removal of the glandular line.

In Silhouette Plastic Surgery, 2-3mm of a small hole is made for the surgery . Thus, scars are not left.

1. Big scar of areola applied to breast cancer surgery – scar exceeding the areola diameter or the areola

The incision is out of the areola after by making a scar after incised at 180 degrees and the scar was extended in a 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock.  

In a plastic surgery concept, it is out of sense to carry out gynecomastia surgery leaving such a serious scar. It is not recommendable.

2. The entire areola (360 degrees) or border scar above

In this procedure, the areola is allowed to turn around or a scar is left on the top.

 

As the existing serious scar is left, it is not desirable to make a scar not in a state of needing plastic surgery or cutting the skin unnecessarily.

3.Abnormal scar below the areola

Although not beyond the areola, it is the past approach of using the border 180 degrees below the areola or of incising the border more than 1.5cm   

If a scar is left only in 6 o’clock by making the minimum incision, it is not seen well. 

However, the smaller the scar is, the more difficult the surgery. Thus, the same approach is used in the unreferenced hospitals.     

For the plastic surgeons dealing with scars, it is unacceptable to leave a scar more than 1.5츠.  

In my opinion, it is undesirable.  

In addition, most patients has high expectancy. Thus, making a scar more than 1.5cm, they feel unsatisfactory. This may cause stress.

If the surgeon has better skills and experienced more, it is possible to reduce the scar not to be seen.   

4. Incision hole made on the abdomen for liposuction of a scars far away the abdomen 

A scar is not left on the chest, such as the nipple or areola. However, the

scar is made on the ares far way the abdomen, the scar is visible and clear.  Thus, it is not recommended.

5. Scar in inframammary fold or on the flank side

In this procedure, a scar is made on the imaginary line on the flank side or inframammary fold

Unlike a woman, a man has no clear inframammary fold, making a scar on the imaginary line is not helpful because that line does not hide the scar.

Rather, a noticeable trace is left so it is not desirable.

In the past, a few papers that had dealt with this procedures were published. Recently, many plastic surgeons criticize the method of a making incision on the flank side, as well as the papers do that.  Thus, this approach is not applied any more.
