Surgical Details of Dr. Bermant's Dynamic Technique for Gynecomastia Male Breast Reduction Surgery

There are many types of male breast deformity and surgical options for treatment. No one operation can manage all deformities. Predicting the specific problem to be treated before surgery can be difficult. Dr. Bermant evolved his dynamic technique to manage what is found during the operation. The technique varies depending on what is found during surgery. To help you better understand some of the variations, the following pages show photographs during specific cases that all use this dynamic sculpture.

Gland, fat, and skin can all contribute to a female like contour of the male breast. Gland is very firm and is not well treated by liposuction and better managed by excision. Fat is softer and can be sculpted with liposuction alone. The most common is a combination of fat and gland. Glandular tissue can be in a lump or spread with fingers of gland extending through the fat. View more details of gynecomastia anatomy and chest anatomy. Liposuction of the fat between these fingers can condense them into a solid lump of gland. Removing gland alone can result in a crater deformity of surrounding fat. Dr. Bermant blends various techniques for each of his sculptures of the male chest.

Dynamic technique male breast reduction for gynecomastia chest sculptureDr. Bermant starts out the day before surgery mapping out the contour problems of the chest. The tumescent technique can obscure what needs to be done during the operation. These before surgery markings help define the deformity during surgery.

Gynecomastia tumescent chest sculpture with Dr. Bermant's dynamic techniqueTumescent anesthesia with sedation minimizes bruising and increases after surgery comfort. The feel of the cannula is different going through fat vs. gland. Gland is tough, fat is easy.

This is the first stage of the dynamic technique. If Dr. Bermant senses denser glandular tissues with the cannula he then progresses to a glandular excision using an open approach.

If there is no fat left between the skin and underlying muscle, results do not look as good during animation and movement. By removing the gland early, Dr. Bermant can better judge how much of the surrounding fat will be needed to move back under the nipple areola to prevent a deformity. Gynecomastia dynamic breast reduction with tumescent techniqueThe incision he uses is typically 2 cm and just at the lower areola chest skin junction. A very large gland can commonly be removed through this small incision.

The most common location for this incision is at the lower pole of the areola. Other less common access sites for liposuction alone are the axilla (arm pit) and lower chest.

dynamic sculpture fat flapAs liposuction progresses, sometimes a mass condenses as the fat is removed between subtle fingers of gland. Dr. Bermant will then stop the liposuction early and remove the gland. Liposuction can then continue contouring the crater walls. If the gland excision resulted in a significant defect, Dr. Bermant then sculpts fat back under the areola. This fat flap is still attached to surrounding tissues under the skin with a much higher chance of survival than fat grafts.

Closing a circular defect can result in internal "dog ears" in the fat layer. Microcannular liposuction of the male chest as another tool that Dr. Bermant uses minimize chest scars and fine tune his sculpture.

Male chest surgery for gynecomastia is much easier when tissues are not scarred.

Repeat male breast reduction has a smaller fat buffer region to use as deep tissue sculpture requiring improvisation for effective sculpture.
