Abstract: Bipedicled Pectoralis Major Muscle Flap Suspension Mastopexy

At baseline, subjects with gynecomastia scored statistically significantly less favorably than controls in five SF-36 domains (general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health), the RSES, and the EAT-26 (p<0.05 for all). By 6 months follow-up, postoperative subjects were scoring similarly to controls in four of the aforementioned SF-36 domains (vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health) (p>0.05 for all), and by 1 year follow-up postoperative subjects scored similarly to control subjects in all survey measures (p>0.05 for all). Scores remained comparable at 3 year and 5 year followup (p>0.05 for all). These trends were largely unaffected by patient age group (i.e. <18 years and >18 years), and were not influenced by overweight/ obese BMI status. Linear regression models, using baseline BMI category as a covariate, demonstrated no statistically significant difference in patients’ most recent postoperative/follow-up survey scores based on case status (p>0.05 for all).
