Abstract
Gynecomastia is the commonest clinical breast condition in males. This study had described surgical approaches done for different grades of gynecomastia. Eighty seven cases had been operated for gynecomastia were analyzed in this study from 2016 to 2019. One hundred and sixty three breasts, the clinical data regarding patients' satisfaction, breast size, breasts symmetry, shape and symmetry of the nipple areola complex and shape of their scars were evaluated. All cases were satisfied about the results of surgery; however patients with grade IV showed concerns about scars. Plastic surgeons treat many male patients that complain of breast enlargement and ask for surgical correction of their deformities. A surgical algorithm is needed for management of different grades of gynecomastia. Breast size, glandular ptosis and skin redundancy are the critical factors for the choice of the surgical technique
