ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate a new operation of breast reduction for gynecomastia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In the past 5 years we treated 42 cases (80 sites) of gynecomastia with the double-ring incision, a supra-lateral derma-mammary pedicle of the nipple and areola and the tumescent technique.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The tumescent anesthesia was effective. The operation was easily performed with slight injury and less bleeding. It was safe and the patients recovered quickly. 100 to 500 grams tissue was resected from one breast. There have been no severe postoperative complications, such as nipple or areola necrosis. Follow-up from 3 to 48 months showed satisfactory results except that there was mild scar hypertrophy on the incision around the areola.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The new operation for gynecomastia with the double-ring incision, a supra-lateral derma-mammary pedicle of the nipple and areola, and the tumescent anesthesia is a good, reliable and convenient technique.</p>
