1. A Single-Center Experience With Gynecomastia Treatment Using Liposuction, Complete Gland Removal, and Nipple Areola Complex Lifting Plaster Technique: A Review of 448 Patients (2023)

Abstract:

In this large retrospective study at a high-volume plastic surgery center in Chennai, 448 male patients with gynecomastia underwent combined liposuction, complete gland excision, and nipple areola complex (NAC) plaster lifting techniques. This approach aimed to optimize chest contouring and reduce the need for skin excision, especially in patients with moderate to severe gynecomastia. High patient satisfaction was achieved with a manageable complication profile, demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of this combined technique in routine clinical practice.

2. Anthropometric Measurements and Analysis for Objective Assessment of Gynecomastia Surgery Results (2023)

Abstract:

This study introduces novel anthropometric methods to objectively evaluate surgical results in gynecomastia patients. By quantifying changes in chest measurements — including nipple position, sternal notch to nipple distances, and asymmetry correction — the research highlights measurable improvements across all gynecomastia grades. Such objective outcome analysis helps surgeons refine techniques and consistently achieve symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing results for patients.

3. NAC Plaster Lifting Technique for the Management of Skin Redundancy in Severe Gynecomastia (2022)

Abstract:

Severe gynecomastia with excess skin presents a surgical challenge. This article describes the NAC plaster lifting technique as an effective alternative to traditional skin excision, particularly in higher-grade gynecomastia. The method preserves natural contours while reducing visible scarring, enhancing outcomes for patients seeking scar-conserving chest reshaping.

5. Dorsal Nasal Skin Necrosis Following Rhinoplasty in Patients Treated With Topical Retinoids (2025)

Abstract:

In this clinically relevant series, the association between preoperative topical retinoid use and dorsal nasal skin necrosis after rhinoplasty is explored. The findings underscore the importance of medication review and surgical planning to mitigate rare but serious complications, especially in patients with prior dermatologic therapy.

6. Unravelling the Efficacy of Internal Quilting Sutures vs Doxycycline Instillations in Preventing Seroma Formation After Gynecomastia Surgery (2025)

Abstract:

Seroma formation remains a key postoperative concern in gynecomastia surgery. This comparative study evaluates quilting sutures versus doxycycline instillations for seroma prevention, providing practical evidence to guide intraoperative technique selection. The results offer surgeons data-driven strategies to improve recovery and reduce complications.
