Enlarged breast tissues in males is often a psychosocial mishap in teenagers and even adults. Surgical approach at the right time may prevent individual from psychological distress which contributes a negative impact on self-confidence. In most of the cases surgical intervention is planned when gynecomastia does not regress spontaneously or when leading a person to severe mental distress.

The most common surgical techniques employed for grade IV gynecomastia are,

(1) Double incision mastectomy with free nipple areolar graft.
(2) Pedicled breast reduction with inverted T scar.
(3) Circum areolar skin excision and purse string sutures.
