Background: Gynecomastia is found to be a common cosmetic problem. Many techniques are currently available for the surgical treatment of gynecomastia, reported to be effective, with limited scar formation. The main objective of our unique reproducible nipple-areola complex (NAC) lifting technique is the management of skin redundancy in severe gynecomastia and positioning the NAC at an aesthetically pleasing site on the chest, for men. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 30 gynecomastia surgeries of grade III and IV done from January 2019 to December 2020. All these patients were treated by using the NAC lifting technique in our centre, and the results were assessed with patient and surgeon satisfaction scores. This lifting plaster technique is used after the skin closure of the Webster incision. The U slit in the lifting plaster prevents the wrinkling of the NAC and also avoids the second stage surgery for most of the cases of severe gynecomastia. Results: A retrospective analysis showed that all patients were satisfied with the technique and none of the patients returned for the second stage surgery. Minimal residual skin redundancy was observed, but it was not severe to necessitate a secondary procedure. All patients were satisfied and comfortable with the final outcome.There was no incidence of contour deformity after the procedure. Conclusion: This technique takes advantage of the elastic recoiling property of the skin and helps in re-draping the redundant skin on the chest wall and in positionining the NAC at an aesthetically pleasing position on the chest.
