title: [Gynecomastia: attempt at a classification and surgical results].
abstract: Gynecomastia may appear at any age of life. We divided the cases we treated into three groups depending on the size of the gynecomastia. The patients were surgically corrected and then re-examined in order to find the most suitable incision. We consider a semicircumareolar incision on the inferior areolar margin the best. This kind of incision can also be used in cases of massive gynecomastia and results in almost invisible scars.
