Gynecomastia Treatment with Liposuction: Clinical Experience
Abstract
Material and Methods: In this study, we reported our results of gynecomastia treatment with suction assisted wet liposuction in 3 different planes using 3 different thickness cannulas in Grade I, II and III patients. Forty five patients were operated between 2009 and 2019 using this technique in our clinique. All patients were followed for up to a minimum of 6 months to observe the complication rate and the final aesthetic result.
Results: Within the 45 patients evaluated in this study, the complication rate was 6.7%, the success rate of the operation was 93.3% and the patient satisfaction was 91.1%. Gynecomastia treatment in general -especially liposuction- was reviewed and our results were evaluated based on the literature results.
Conclusion: There are many different options for gynecomastia treatment. In this study, we concluded that in Grade I, II, and III patients good results can be achieved and patient satisfaction is high in gynecomastia treatment with wet liposuction.
