RESUMO

Gynecomastia is defined as a benign condition of the male caused by tissue overgrowth (Blau and Hazani in Plast Reconstruct Surg 135(2): 425-432, 2015). Its incidence ranges widely in the world population, ranging from 32 to 65% (Innocenti et al. in Ann Plast Surg 78(5):492-496, 2017). Pseudogynecomastia is a condition characterized by deposits of adipose tissue with alteration of the profile of the male thorax. It appears clinically similar to gynecomastia (Hoyos et al. in Plast Reconstr Surg 147:1072-1083, 2021). Several classification systems that characterize the severity of male breast hypertrophy have been described in the literature, and many surgical algorithms have been formulated for its treatment (Holzmer et al. in Plast Reconstruct Surg-Global Open 8:e3161, 2020). The purpose of this original article is to provide a comprehensive surgical algorithm for the management of male chest enhancement based on severity, as defined by the Moschella scale (Tambasco et al. in J Plast Reconstruct Aesthet Surg 90:99-100, 2024). A total of 300 patients treated for bilateral breast hypertrophy are included and reviewed in this retrospective study. Patients have been diversified according to the Moschella scale. For each grade up to grade III, two subgroups were distinguished: A) pinch test less than 0.7 cm and B) pinch test greater than 0.7 cm. For Grade IV, we distinguished: subgroup A) where the distance between the inframammary fold and the nipple was < 3 cm; and subgroup B) where the distance between the inframammary fold and the nipple was > 3 cm. We developed an algorithm, based on this experience, to help to choose the best surgical techniques to perform a three-dimensional result. All patients were treated using multiple surgical techniques. In all cases, we made a reduction in the hypertrophy of the chest, obtaining the three dimensionality. Associate techniques include ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) and helium plasma radiofrequency technology (HPRF). A round block mastectomy (RBm) or skin-reducing mastectomy T inverted (SRM Tinv) is reserved only in limited cases.Level of Evidence IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mommy-makeover is becoming very popular to help them reshaping their own bodies and restoring self-perception, hardly stressed by childbearing-related changes. However, debate exists in the literature concerning safety and aesthetic outcome in patients undergoing combined procedures. The study aims to shed a light on advantages and disadvantages in mommy-makeover technique compared to conventional abdominoplasty with a particular attention to psychological aspects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 37 women were enrolled at Campus Bio-Medico Hospital in Rome between October 2019 and January 2022. All of the patients were eligible for both abdominoplasty only and mommy-makeover. We proposed to the patients both procedures explaining risks and benefits; then, based on the preference of the single patient, we performed either mommy-makeover (Group A) or abdominoplasty alone (Group B). In order to evaluate patients' satisfaction and safety, multiple questionnaires were administered 9-month postoperatively (BUT, POSAS, visual perception, etc.). RESULTS: The sample analyzed was composed of 37 patients (treatment group = 18, control group = 19). In the pre-post comparisons of BUT-A performed, there were statistically significant differences recorded in both groups and for all observed variables. The significance values were all less than 1% (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Combined surgery proved not to be inferior in terms of patient safety. At the same time, the effectiveness in improving diastasis-related symptoms is fully comparable with single surgery. Treatment group showcases a considerable superiority in terms of body-image perception improvement and overall patient satisfaction.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: Skin reducing-mastectomy, described several years ago, for single stage reconstruction is considered an oncologically safe procedure and is used in those woman with large and ptotic breasts. This study describes a new technique, the J-pattern skin-reducing breast reconstruction with prepectoral implant and acellular dermal matrix (Braxon fast), which is indicated to patients with large and ptotic breasts who would benefit from a breast reduction and need a mastectomy for curative or prophylactic purpose. We present our case series on 35 breasts in 19 women submitted to the above mentioned procedure from January 2021 to December 2022 at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of the University Hospital Santa Maria della Misericordia of Udine, Italy, with a median follow up of 15 months. The advantages of the J scar and consist in a reduced risk of skin necrosis, a reduced bottoming out rate, a simplification of the surgical design and a lower impact of scars not involving the medial quadrants of the breast. Patients were administered the Breast Q 2.0 post-operative questionnaire at 3 months postoperatively, which showed a high average level of satisfaction with the reconstruction. We therefore believe that this surgical technique is a valid option in patients who have a voluminous breast and an adequate pinch test and wish to undergo a curative/prophylactic mastectomy with immediate heterologous reconstruction.
