Description
Hedieh Soltani and seven colleagues reported in 2026 on a combined operation for severe male breast enlargement with marked sagging, known as grade III gynecomastia. The review covered 82 male patients, including three transgender patients, averaging about 30 years old. Surgeons joined four steps: fat removal, a round-block skin step around the nipple, full removal of breast tissue under the skin, and reshaping.
Overall satisfaction reached 78 percent, with most pleased by shape, symmetry, and skin tightness, and with small or hidden scars in about 87 percent. Swelling affected about 32 percent and fluid collection about 12 percent, and both settled over time, while bleeding, infection, and nipple tissue loss were uncommon. The authors present the approach as workable and safe, though the review is retrospective with no comparison group.
