Materials and Methods: Total 40 male patients (mean age 25.5 years) were included in survey, all underwent surgery for gynaecomastia. 6 patients underwent only liposuction and 34 patients underwent fibrous tissue excision through periareolar incision and liposuction. We used a short questionnaire having 2 questions regarding their satisfaction before and after surgery.
Results: The change in the satisfaction was very significant after the surgery for gynaecomastia. They scored significantly higher than before surgery on 2 main scales, psychological and physical health.
Conclusion: Surgery for gynaecomastia markedly improved patient’s life quality especially in physical and psychological health. This shows that adults with gynaecomastia issues are pretty satisfied with surgery and it improves their quality of life. It is also evident on score scale.
