ABSTRACT

The rise of standardized self-assessment tools and AI-driven preoperative evaluations lacks full acknowledgment of their limitations. A male patient with gynecomastia developed a hematoma post-liposuction and subcutaneous mastectomy, revealing undisclosed von Willebrand Disease. Thorough in-person anamnesis surpasses self-administered questionnaires by capturing implicit cues and deeper patient insights.
