New Research Revealed Effective Surgical Management Techniques For Gynecomastia In Asian Men, Resulting In High Patient Satisfaction Media Outreach Newswire APAC

(MENAFN- Media OutReach Newswire) SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 3 June 2026 - The evaluation and management of surgical treatment for gynecomastia primarily focus on Western populations. However, Amaris B. Clinic's decades of experience in Singapore highlight specific considerations for Asian patients.

Dr Ivan Puah, Medical Director at Amaris B. Clinic and the lead researcher on a recent study, has offered new insights into treating gynecomastia, a condition characterised by male breast enlargement, in Singapore.

The research paper titled 'Surgical Management of Gynecomastia in Asian Men - Clinical Experience and Considerations for Different Patient Types' provides detailed, important considerations, including the management of the consultation process, addressing varying patient expectations, and tackling the surgical aspects necessary to achieve desired aesthetic outcomes.

Between 2018 and 2023, Dr Puah treated over 550 cases at Amaris B. Clinic and presented six representative patient cases that illustrate the demographics and unique challenges faced by this multi-ethnic Asian population.

The typical patient profiles included obese, overweight, and lean adults, as well as adolescents. Common causes of gynecomastia observed in the patients included hormonal changes during puberty, drug-induced gynecomastia from anabolic steroids, and conditions related to weight loss.

Dr Puah's proprietary surgical methods involve making a single incision along the areola to minimise scar visibility while effectively excising glandular tissue, performing liposuction to remove excess fat, and tightening the chest skin.

Six case studies of diverse gynecomastia patient profiles

Gynecomastia Grade	Demographic	Profile
Grade II	17-year-old Chinese	A history of bilateral breast enlargement since 13 years-old
Grade II	18-year-old Chinese	A history of bilateral breast enlargement since 12 years-old
Grade II	22-year-old Malay	Using anabolic hormone supplements for bodybuilding for 4 years
Grade II	46-year-old Chinese	Took anabolic steroids for 5 years
Grade IV	28-year-old Chinese	Overweight since childhood No reduction in breast enlargement despite losing weight Skin laxity present
Grade IV	21-year-old Indian	Overweight since childhood No reduction in breast enlargement despite losing weight Skin laxity present

At the 3-month follow-up after surgery, 5 of 6 patients reported no complications, highlighting the effectiveness of the tailored surgical approach. They expressed high satisfaction with the aesthetic results of the procedure, rating it a perfect 7 out of 7, and reported relief from emotional distress.

Only one patient experienced mild keloid formation at the edges of both areolae where incisions were made, which were not easily noticeable, and reported no complications or dissatisfaction.

Dr Ivan Puah emphasises, "It is important to adapt surgical techniques to address issues such as scarring and hyperpigmentation, which can be more pronounced in Asian patients due to their skin types. The differences in skin quality and glandular tissue characteristics between Asian and Caucasian patients with gynecomastia necessitate distinctions in treatment planning, particularly regarding careful incision placement."
