Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial compares periareolar excision and pull-through techniques in 64 patients with Simon Grade I-IIb gynecomastia. Patients were randomized 1:1 and followed for 6 months. The primary outcome was total patient satisfaction measured using the Rasch-transformed BODY-Q Chest Module. Secondary outcomes included anthropometric measurements, recovery parameters, complication rates, and blinded aesthetic evaluation. A formal interaction analysis assessed whether surgical superiority differed according to disease severity.

Conditions

  • Gynecomastia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Periareolar Excision

Surgical correction of gynecomastia using a semicircular inferior periareolar incision to allow direct glandular excision following liposuction. A thin subareolar tissue layer is preserved to prevent nipple depression and maintain contour.

PROCEDURE

Pull-Through Technique

Minimally invasive surgical correction of gynecomastia using liposuction followed by glandular extraction through the liposuction incision using the pull-through technique with controlled traction and segmental excision.
