title: Contouring of the male anterior chest following bariatric surgery and massive weight loss.
abstract: The male breast area can be difficult to treat following massive weight loss. In such patients, it is essential to correct the deformity without leaving disfiguring scars over the anterior surface of the chest, if possible. We suggest a surgical technique that involves a torsoplasty with concomitant nipple-areolar complex transposition, resulting in adequate male chest contouring with well hidden scars.
