The most common surgery procedures include bilateral mastectomy (breast removal) and male chest contouring. Below is an explanation of Double Incision (DI) and Periareolar procedures.
The double incision top surgery procedure is ideal for medium to large chested men. During this procedure, the skin on the chest is opened along two horizontal incisions, at the top and bottom of the pectoral muscle. (The muscle itself is not touched.) The skin is pulled back and the breast tissue is then removed. Additional liposuction may be performed to adjust contour. The nipples are removed, re-sized and grafted on the chest.
The periareolar top surgery procedure is ideal for small chested men (B-sized chests and good skin elasticity). During this procedure, an incision is made all around the border of the areola. Additionally, a second, larger concentric circle incision is made and the resulting ring of skin removed. Breast tissue and additional liposuction may be performed. A “drawstring” technique is used to bring the skin together and connect it to the edges of the areola, which may be downsized. With periareolar, the nipple stalk is usually left intact, though some surgeons will resize the nipple itself. Nerve sensation is often maintained. Periareolar top surgery is typically an outpatient surgery that lasts 2-4 hours under general anesthesia.
