ABSTRACT
The male chest has a female appearance in patients with gynecomastia and those who have experienced a huge weight loss. The disadvantages of reduction mammaplasty for men are the visible scars on the chest wall necessitated because of skin redundancy. The aims of the chest-lifting procedure are to reposition the breast, to create a male appearance by thinning the amount of glandular and fatty tissue, to avoid noticeable scars on the chest wall, and to hide the scar in the middle axillar line.
