Abstract:	Surgical correction of gynecomastia currently ranks in the top five cosmetic procedures performed in men in the United States. Although removal of excess gland is relatively straightforward, the combination of glandular/fatty excess, significant skin redundancy, nipple ptosis, and nipple-areolar complex hypertrophy poses a significant challenge in the male patient desiring inconspicuous scars. The latter renders any form of skin and nipple reduction/elevation using traditional mastopexy patterns or breast amputation with free nipple grafting less favorable due to the surgical stigmata and scars produced with these techniques. To that end, we present our experience treating cases of moderate to severe gynecomastia involving significant skin excess (defined as Simon grade IIb and III) with a technique focused on avoiding visible extra-areolar scars, called the glandular excision, liposuction-assisted, areolar mastopexy for nipple repositioning and skin reduction with internal quilting sutures.
