Male Nipple Reduction
Male Nipple Reduction
Yoon, Sang Yub
Silhouette Clinic CBBC (Center of Breast and Body Contouring)
Purpose of Study: Nipple enlargement is an ethnic characteristic frequently encountered among Asian male. Male patients seek correction to alleviate psychological and physical discomfort. I present some techniques of male nipple reduction.
Subject and Methodology:Between May of 2010 and May 2015, these techniques were performed in 323 male patients. I classified male nipples into two groups for surgical correction. If the diameter of the nipple is more than 10mm corresponds to group I. The cause is usually habitually chronic touched. Smaller nipple corresponds to group II. The most common cause of is the lipocomastia. The neonipple is designed to reduce the nipple diameter at the superior pole of the nipple while preserving the central portion including vessels and nerves. A longitudinal shaped section of nipple is excised, maintaining the integrity of the central core. The remained skin flaps are trimmed to reduce the height. The flaps of the neonipple are then sutured to the areola (Fig. 1 & 2). This technique has been performed in 113 patients (group I). The superior pedicled flap method has been performed in 210 patients (group II, Fig. 3 & 4).
Results:Follow-up examinations were performed at 1 to 36 months. The results were excellent; nevertheless, 55 patients (13.9%) get reoperation to decrease the size of the nipple. Postoperative recovery was rapid and a few complications were encountered.
Conclusion:These techniques decrease both the diameter and height of any size nipple and can be modified to meet patient preferences. Additionally, these techniques provide reproducible and reliable results.

Scar Revision after lipoabdominoplasty
Scar Revision after lipoabdominoplasty
Sang Yub Yoon
Silhouette Clinic CBBC (Center of Breast and Body Contouring)
Purpose of study:The popularity of Abdominoplasty appears to be increasing. Lipoabdominoplasty (Abdominoplasty combined with lipoplasty with limited central panniculus undermining)has several advantages which minimize the complications. I report the experience of lipoabdominoplasty for focusing the scar revision.
Subjects and Methodology;From May 2007 to January 2015, 300 patients have got the lipoabdominoplasty (3 patients lipominiabdominoplasty) and resulted in high satisfaction rates without significant complication, such as, untreatable seroma, full-thickness flap necrosis, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. But 43.3% (n = 130) patients got scar revision because of wide, noticeable, hypertrophic, and asymmetric scars (Fig. 1 and 2). Some patients got tattoo for camouflage the scars (Fig. 3 and 4).
Results;I observed good results and high patient satisfaction with respect to abdominal profile appearance. Overall, patients were able to return to their routine activities approximately 2 weeks postoperatively. I also found a low complication rate among patients who underwent lipoabdominoplasty. Epidermolysis was observed in 2% of cases and hematoma 0.3%. But scar revision is relatively common. So, I explain the patient that scar revision is not a complication.
Conclusion;This lipoabdominoplasty help to reduce surgical trauma and to preserve lymphatic and vessel system that are the main factor affecting complication formation. Some of the patients complain about the visible scars. So, plastic surgeon should bear in mind that scar revision is normal process to improve the final result.

How to Avoid the Visible Scars for the Treatment of High - Grade Type Lipomastia
How to Avoid the Visible Scars for the Treatment of High - Grade Type Lipomastia
Sang Yub Yoon, M.D.
Silhouette Clinic,Seoul, Korea
Purpose of study:Lipomastia (fatty-type lipocomastia)may be defined as the benign enlargement of the male breast attributable to accumulation of the breast adipose tissue. It is not uncommon to encounter patients who have undergone surgery for lipomastia but who were not fully satisfied with the results because of visible scar.The aim of this study was to describe the operative technique avoiding the conspicuous scars on the male breast against the treatment of high-grade type lipomastia.
Subjects and Methodology:A simple classification of lipomastia is as follows: type I – prominent breasts with elastic skin; type II – prominent breasts with visible inframammary fold; type III – ptotic breast with inelastic skin and/or well-defined inframammary fold. To treat the high-grade lipomastia, I applied the skin-fascia fixation between the posterior surface of the chest skin and pectoral fascia(Fig. 1) after ultrasound-assisted liposuction, scavenging suction lipectomy, fibroglandular excision via stab incision(Fig. 2).
Results:These techniques were applied to 1,734 patients(Fig. 3 & 4). Complications were minimal. Thirteen patients got secondary operation (i.e. chest lifting) to improve the contouring.
Conclusion:I present some minimally invasive technique for the management of lipomastia in patients with significant ptosis or skin excess that combined the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction with the precise and controlled excision of fibro-glandular breast tissue.These techniques are also alternative to treat the ptotic lipomastia, avoiding undesirable scars.
