An Overview of Male Breast Reduction

Men who suffer from Gynecomastia, a condition of over-developed or enlarged breasts, often suffer from decreased confidence, and may avoid certain activities as well as intimacy because of their condition. Below is an overview of the causes Gynecomastia and how male breast reduction surgery can help to alleviate this condition.

Causes of Gynecomastia
Whenever hormone levels become unbalanced, whether testosterone levels decrease or estrogen levels increase, Gynecomastia may occur. Medications for treating AIDS, anxiety, depression, cancer and certain infections may cause Gynecomastia. In addition, recreational drugs such as amphetamines, marijuana, heroin, and alcohol can trigger the condition. Also, any disease that interferes with normal testosterone production can result in Gynecomastia. This includes tumors of the testes, adrenal, or pituitary glands; hyperthyroidism; kidney failure; cirrhosis; and malnutrition.

Types of Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia may develop as excess localized fat, excessive glandular tissue development, or a combination of the two. The condition may be unilateral (on one side) or bilateral (affecting both sides).

Treatment for Gynecomastia
For men who suffer from Gynecomastia due to excessive fat in the breast area, reduction may involve liposuction only. A small incision near the areola or in the underarm area will be made and a cannula will be used to break up the fat and suction it away.

However, for men who have excess glandular breast tissue Male Breast Reduction surgery may be the best option. Reduction mammoplasty surgically reduces breast size while flattening and enhancing the chest contours of men suffering from Gynecomastia. While the patient is under general or local anesthesia, the cosmetic surgeon will make a small incision through which the excessive glandular tissue can be removed. If excess fatty tissue is also present, the cosmetic surgeon may use liposuction in combination with male breast reduction surgery.

Tired of Looking Tired? How Eyelid Surgery Can Help!

Do you look in your mirror every morning and see the same tired-looking eyes? Are you tired of your friends and co-workers commenting that you look exhausted and worn-out? Maybe it’s time to rejuvenate your face with blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery.

Age and Your Eyes
With age, the skin begins to lose elasticity and then sag and droop, especially around the eyes. The following effects of age can lead to a tired look for your eyes and face:

• Excessive upper eyelid skin that causes hooding
• Under-eye bags
• Sagging lower eyelids
• Fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes

Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can refresh tired eyes by removing excess skin on the upper eyelids. This procedure eliminates the pads of fat under the eyes, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles and corrects drooping eyelid skin. After administering local anesthesia, your cosmetic surgeon will make a small incision in the crease of your eyelid to perform this surgery. Or, your surgeon will make an incision just inside of the lower eyelid for lower eyelid surgery. Through these incisions, fat and excess skin can be removed.

Results of Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery will make your eyes—and therefore your entire face—look more alert, youthful and lively. Instead of the same old tired eyes, you’ll see a refreshed face that looks bright and ready to take on the world! As a result, you will likely experience a boost in confidence and self-esteem.
