Dr. Hankins Presented The Management of Male Pseudogynecomastia at the 2023 International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) Conference
Athens, Greece - (NewMediaWire) - September 7, 2023 - Christopher Hankins, MD of Premier Plastic Surgery, presented at the annual International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) event in Athens, Greece on Thursday, August 31, 2023 to discuss a surgical technique that he has utilized in the treatment of male pseudogynecomastia. ISAPS is the world’s leading professional body for board-certified aesthetic plastic surgeons, with the mission to inspire and nurture aesthetic education across the globe for the safety of patients.
Pseudogynecomastia is a condition in which the male breast area contains excess fatty tissue behind, under, and around the nipples. Unlike other pseudogynecomastia treatment techniques previously described in the field, Dr. Hankins’ technique can reproduce a normal-appearing male breast that enables patients to take their shirts off or go to the gym without embarrassment.
In other papers that Dr. Hankins has read, he was surprised to note that a word search for the word "sensation" did not appear in many documents. His technique can preserve sensation in the nipples. In fact, all patients in whom this procedure has been performed have had intact nipple sensations and have been extremely happy with the results.
In addition, many papers previously written on the topic do not include a discussion of ideal male breast aesthetics. This must be the objective of surgical treatment of this condition to have an exceptional outcome.
Dr. Hankins is proud to have demonstrated that it is possible to correct male pseudogynecomastia with the restoration of excellent chest aesthetics and intact nipple sensation.
