How to Simulate a Gynecomastia

Arbrea Breast provides a precise and intuitive way to simulate gynecomastia procedures, allowing plastic surgeons to visualize male breast reduction results in real time. With tools like volume removal, freehand sculpting, and before-and-after comparison, surgeons can enhance patient communication and streamline treatment planning.

Checking the Breast Measurements #

1. Start by loading the patient’s scan or photo into Arbrea Breast.

2. Click on the Measurement Tool to display key metrics such as chest width, projection, and volume.

Why It’s Important:
Provides a baseline to assess the severity of gynecomastia and track surgical goals.

Removing the Breast Volume #

1. Navigate to the Reduction Mode.

2. Use the volume sliders to decrease excess breast tissue on one or both sides.

3. Unlock the symmetry if you need to reduce unevenly.

Helps simulate the initial phase of male breast reduction surgery.

Refining the Result with the Freehand Tool #

1. Open the Freehand Tool to manually sculpt and refine specific areas.

2. This tool provides greater control for adjusting shape, contour, and fine details.

Useful for simulating customized surgical outcomes.

Changing the Brush Size #

1. Within the Freehand Tool, adjust the brush size based on the area you’re working on.

2. Use a smaller brush for precise corrections, or a larger brush for general contouring.

Gives flexibility for accurate shaping of the chest area.

Removing Side Volume #

1. Continue sculpting using the Freehand Tool to reduce lateral chest fullness.

2. This step ensures a natural, masculine contour by addressing the outer breast tissue.

Essential for simulating a balanced and aesthetic chest appearance.

Comparing Before and After #

1. Use the Before/After toggle or side-by-side view to display the transformation.

2. This comparison allows the patient to visually understand the procedure’s impact.

Boosts patient confidence and engagement during consultations.

Conclusion #

Simulating a gynecomastia procedure with Arbrea Breast is fast, accurate, and interactive. By combining automatic volume reduction, manual sculpting, and measurement tools, plastic surgeons can deliver realistic, patient-specific simulations that support pre-operative planning and patient education.
