ABSTRACT
The masculinizing mastectomy is a surgery of affirmation of gender and part of the transition from the feminine to the masculine. This study aims to describe a technique of masculinizing mastectomy from a personal interpretation. In order to perform the technique, the papillary-areolar complex (CAP) was preserved and repositioned superiorly in the new point (A), and decortication of the upper skin flap was established on the island and fixed after repositioning. The technique presented in this study aims at a better esthetic result, keeping the scar in the mammary furrow and maintaining the upper pole with the superior vascular pedicle preserving the nutrition of the areola and CAP. It is indicated for breasts of small and medium size with grade III ptosis. The technique described differs from all those presented in the literature consulted. The technique presented excellent esthetic results, giving a better camouflage of the scars and an esthetically pleasing male aspect with soft contours.
