Chest Contouring Saves Officer's Career
9 Sep
Summary
- Officer underwent complex chest surgery for gynaecomastia.
- Stage 1 liver failure complicated the surgical approach.
- Procedure involved gland removal and skin reduction.
A 44-year-old police officer recently received advanced open surgical chest contouring at MGM Healthcare. The patient suffered from Grade 3 gynaecomastia and Stage 1 liver failure, which presented significant surgical challenges. His enlarged breast tissue and excess skin hindered his ability to perform job duties and caused considerable embarrassment.
Given the officer's bleeding abnormalities linked to liver dysfunction, surgeons opted for an open approach over liposuction. A team led by S. Narayanamurthy and Suresh Rajendran executed a three-hour double-incision mastectomy. This procedure effectively removed glandular tissue and excess skin, creating a more masculine and symmetrical chest contour.
The complex operation required seamless collaboration between the surgical, anaesthesia, and gastroenterology departments. Liver-friendly anaesthetic agents were specifically chosen to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.
