Chennai Plastic Surgery recently organised a two-day international workshop focused on gynaecomastia surgery and male chest contouring. The advanced training program attracted sixteen plastic surgeons, aesthetic surgeons, fellows, and trainees from Asia and Australia. The workshop emphasised practical learning and modern surgical techniques.
Dr Karthik Ramasamy, a plastic and cosmetic surgeon, led the programme. He guided participants through the evaluation and treatment of gynaecomastia across all grades. The sessions covered patient assessment, surgical planning, and advanced chest sculpting techniques.
Focus on advanced chest contouring techniques
Participants learned liposuction-assisted contouring, gland excision procedures, and puffy nipple correction methods. Faculty members also discussed skin-tightening procedures and scar-minimisation strategies. The program highlighted techniques that help surgeons achieve natural-looking masculine chest contours.
A distinguished panel of experts supported the workshop. Faculty included Dr Venkatramakrishnan, Dr Sivakumar, Dr Sasi Kumar Muthu, Dr TNS, Dr M.D. Nishar, and Dr Preethy. They shared practical insights drawn from extensive clinical experience.
