Post-massive Weight Loss Chest Contouring: Inferior Pedicle Technique in Pseudo-gynecomastia Correction

Gynecomastia

The massive weight loss leads an important excess of skin on thoracic level giving the aspect of a feminine breast with a relatively important ptose. Several techniques were described in the literature about gynaecomastia , but the post-bariatric pseudo-gynaecomastia was not handled yet enough. Moreover, there is no single consensual technique on this subject. The technique used in this service was described for the first time in 2008 ( 1 ) on a serie of 8 patients with an average follow-up of 13 months. Although the results are promising, no other publication was done, and the procedure remains badly represented in the world literature.
