Mean age of presentation was 25.8 year (range 14-42 years). All of these 12 patients presented before us because of emotional discomfort; among them, five (41.6%) patients also had difficulties in entering into social relationships like marriage. Ten (83.3%) patients had bilateral and two (16.7%) patients had unilateral high-grade (Simon's grade IIb and III) gynaecomastia. Regarding Nipple Areolar Complex (NAC), four patients had bilateral enlarged with mild displaced NAC; five patients had bilateral enlarged and displaced NAC; two patients had unilateral enlarged and displaced NAC; one patient had a very unique presentation, unilateral (right) sided enlarged areola with bilateral displaced NAC.\nSimultaneously with this operative procedure, six patients underwent liposuction of other areas of body also (mainly abdominal). Average hospital stay was 2.41 days (range 2-4 days). In terms of complications, two patients had seroma formation, which responded well to conservative management like needle aspiration and pressure garments; one patient developed haematoma which was evacuated through the drain site. In some cases where the size of areola was very large with excess skin, there was puckering of skin along the incision line due to purse-string effect of subdermal suture, but they gradually disappeared with time. All patients expressed their satisfaction after the procedure.","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":7}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":8,"end":803}}],"tracks":[]}
