Tetris Technique for Men Who Want to Reduce Their Breasts

On December 7, 2022, Dr. Aleksandr Shteynberg shared his expertise in gynecomastia with colleagues at the American College of Surgery Long Island/Brooklyn Chapter Conference.

At the conference, Dr. Shteynberg introduced the innovative "Tetris Technique" that allows the appearance of the male breast to improve with a natural appearance during gynecomastia surgery.

The "Tetris" analogy is made because the procedure provides a precise fit that reduces projection and is achieved by simulating a Tetris-like puzzle.

The technique improves blood flow and sensation and reduces the need for revisions.

Dr. Shteynberg Made a Presentation at the Conference on the Subject

“In addition to liposuction, direct excision of tissue, removal of excess skin, and reshaping of the entire breast and chest area are necessary to create a masculine-looking breast in male patients with large breasts and tight skin." said Dr. Shteynberg continues:

“When working on severe forms of gynecomastia, the surgeon's challenges are to avoid excessive protrusion of the breasts and under-correction of feminine appearance, aggressive thinning of tissue, possible loss of nipple and areola, and damaged blood vessels that can cause extreme nerve damage.

To address these problems, with the "Tetris Technique" performed after the removal of excess skin, the breast and adipose tissue are shaped like two pieces of the puzzle; this technique includes the lower part of the nipple and areola, and the upper part forms the recipient tip.

The part containing the nipple is pulled up and while the skin on the upper part is pulled down, the nipple is fixed in the right place to create a tight, masculine-looking breast. “

Used by Men and Trans Men Who Want to Create a Masculine Breast Appearance

Dr. Shteynberg says that by successfully using this technique on a number of patients, he has achieved excellent results, and that the appearance of the breast improves social life.

Plastic surgeons attending the conference, Dr. He greatly benefited from Shteynberg's knowledge on this subject.

Now men who want to create a masculine breast appearance and trans men can use her special technique for improvements in their practice when correcting gynecomastia.

"While considering the potential complications associated with this surgical procedure, I was able to develop this successful, innovative technique to prevent excessive protrusion, reduce the risk of damage to blood vessels, and prevent loss of sensation," says Aleksandr Shteynberg.
