Shorter Incision vs Masculine Chest Shape

Type 4 Gynecomastia patients are often in good physical shape but have significant excess chest and arm pit skin laxity. This physical condition allows them the opportunity for a youthful, masculine chest that they can be proud of.

While type 5 and 6 patients have significant issues that need to be overcome, Type 4 typically just requires proper nipple placement and a tight skin envelop. As one of the top gynecomastia surgeons in the U.S., Dr. Cruise uses his expertise to create a sculpted arm pit with a well defined hollow at its apex. He then flanks the areas to define borders of the pec. major in front and the latissimus dorsi in back. This not only shapes the chest but gives a powerful, well defined V shape to the upper body. Typically, this can only be achieved with the longer, chest lift incision as opposed to the shorter super extended superior incision. The techniques explained here are likely not practiced by doctors who perform just a few male breast reduction surgeries per year. A great deal of knowledge, skill, and experience is necessary to properly execute this type of surgical plan.
