Achieving Natural Results with Gynecomastia Surgery and Renuvion

In this case study, Dr Hassan Nurein, specialist in gynecomastia surgery, presents the treatment of a patient in his early thirties who had been living with chest fullness since childhood. Despite weight loss and exercise, the patient continued to struggle with stubborn tissue in the chest, along with some skin laxity. This was classified as type 2B gynecomastia moderate enlargement of the chest with a degree of loose skin.

To achieve the best result, Dr Nurein planned a procedure combining gland removal, VASER liposuction, and skin tightening with Renuvion. This approach addresses the glandular tissue, fatty deposits, and skin laxity together, helping to create a flatter and more natural chest contour.

Understanding Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is graded by severity.

• Grade 1 usually involves puffy nipples with the gland located around the areola.

• Grade 2 extends beyond the areola and can include moderate skin laxity.

• Grade 3 is more significantly enlarged, while Grade 4 presents with severe sagging, where the nipples often point downwards.

The patient in this case fell into the Grade 2B category, which can be treated effectively without the need for large excisions.

Skin Tightening with Renuvion

After removing the gland and performing liposuction, Dr Nurein used Renuvion (also known as J-Plasma) for skin tightening. This technology combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy, applied just under the skin, to contract the tissue.

By adding skin tightening with Renuvion, the risk of sagging is reduced and the chest contour adapts more smoothly to its new shape. The advantage is that this can be achieved through small access points, avoiding the need for larger scars. For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion can significantly improve the outcome of gynecomastia surgery.

The Outcome

Following the procedure, the patient’s chest appeared flatter, firmer, and more defined. The integration of Renuvion into the surgery provided additional tightening, helping to deliver a more masculine chest shape.

This case demonstrates how combining gynecomastia surgery with skin tightening using Renuvion can enhance results, reduce the risk of loose skin, and achieve long-lasting improvements in chest contour.
