case_images: Preoperative photograph of a 28-year-old patient with grade III gynecomastia, demonstrating severe breast enlargement with pronounced glandular tissue hypertrophy and significant ptosis. The patient's chest contour is notably distorted, with excessive subcutaneous adipose deposition and stretched overlying skin. This presentation exemplifies the advanced stage of gynecomastia, which often requires surgical intervention due to the significant physical and psychological burden imposed by the condition. Preoperative images captured from 5 different angles (A-E).

case_images: The patient's body mass index was measured at 34.6, which is consistent with a classification of obesity (Fig. 1).
case_images: Postoperative images at 3 months following surgical correction of grade III gynecomastia using the "Stab Flatten" technique, captured from 3 different angles (A-C). The images show significant improvement in chest contour, with effective reduction of both glandular tissue and adipose volume. Skin retraction is well-aligned, and the natural masculine chest appearance has been restored.

case_images: The results suggest that the "Stab Flatten" technique is an effective, minimally invasive solution for severe gynecomastia, providing excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes (Figs. 2 and 3).
case_images: Postoperative photographs taken 6 months after surgery using the "Stab Flatten" technique, viewed from 3 different angles (A-C), showing significant improvement in chest contour and overall appearance. The procedure effectively reduced breast volume, achieving a smooth and natural result. The skin has retracted well, with minimal scarring, which is virtually imperceptible, reflecting the success of the "Stab Flatten" method in delivering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
