Plastic surgery for teens: A good or bad move?
In a world where people of all ages increasingly turn to plastic surgery for reasons that are purely cosmetic — and, in some cases, narcissistic — many teens say they are going under the knife for different reasons. But how young is too young for plastic surgery? Plastic surgery – Surgery – Health – Medicine – Cosmetic and Plastic

Liposuction And Cutting Out Excess Glandular Tissue Can Reduce Oversized Male Breasts

Gynecomastia is a medical term that originates from the Greek words for “women-like breasts.” This condition is far more common than many realize. Gynecomastia affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of the male population. It may affect only one breast or both. Although certain drugs such as anabolic steroids, medications containing estrogen, alcohol, marijuana, etc., and medical conditions including cancer, impaired liver function, to name a few, may cause or contribute to enlarged male breasts, it is widely accepted that a large percentage of cases derive from unknown sources.

Men of any age who are healthy and emotionally stable are considered good candidates for Male Breast Reduction surgery. The best candidates are those who have firm, elastic skin that will reshape to the body’s new contours. In some instances, Male Breast Reduction Surgery may be discouraged for overweight men who have not first tried an exercise and diet regimen.

Enlarged male breasts can be reduced by liposuction and/or by cutting out excess glandular tissue. The procedure for gynecomastia takes an average of two hours, usually on an outpatient basis, using general or local anesthesia. If excessive glandular tissue, fat and skin is present, it will be removed.

Surgery may be performed alone or in conjunction with lipoplasty, where the suction device will typically be inserted through the existing incisions. For the removal of excess fatty tissue alone, lipoplasty may be all that is needed; in such cases, scars will be small and barely visible.

Results are permanent, although subsequent obesity can create a gynecomastia-like effect. Some of the benefits of male breast reduction surgery include a firmer, flatter, more contoured chest which may give the male patient a boost in self-confidence. There is little downtime, and you may return to work within one week usually, unless you are involved in strenuous activities.

There will be scarring around the nipple of the breast (areola) from this procedure but will fade over a period of time and be less visible. There will be some post-operative bruising, swelling, and burning sensation. To assist with the healing process, the patient will wear an elastic pressure garment for 3-6 weeks and must avoid exposing scarred areas to the sun for at least 6 months.

Other considerations include temporary numbness or lack of sensation that could last up to a year. Infrequent complications may include infection, skin damage, fluid accumulation, bleeding, scarring or pigment changes. Post-operative asymmetry, while rare, is possible; a second procedure may be needed to remove additional tissue.

A Guide To Male Breast Reduction Surgery

One of the major problems for men these days is not necessarily baldness, although it is still a big factor for many men concerned about inheriting this genetic disorder. Hair loss is generally something that cannot be treated without transplant surgery – even this can cause some problems as it is only effective in the thinning hair area, rather than alleviating baldness altogether. This in comparison to Gynecomastia, is more accepted by the public.

Gynecomastia (growth of male breast tissue) is a condition, which can happen to any male of the ages 16 and more. This can be common amongst teenage boys who have a hormonal imbalance during puberty, whereby the breast tissue begins to form. However, this can reduce and disappear after a short while once the teenager has grown into adulthood. In this case, the condition is not severe enough for a male breast reduction (mastectomy) procedure to follow on.

Men who are in need of male breast reduction surgery, are usually ones who have a very high amount of breast tissue formed and actually look like they have breasts protruding from their chest. This can sometimes cause unwanted secretion of milk from the breast and cause great concerns for the mans appearance. This is an unusual condition and one which cannot be dealt with unless surgery is conducted to reduce the size of the mammary gland.

These leave some scarring, which do decrease in visibility as time moves on. Men who do suffer from this tends to try to hide away from the public. Covering up with lose t-shirts or even buy tailor-made male bras. These usually look like vests, designed to hold the breast growth in and reducing the appearance of the breast. Unlike women bras, these do not fit around the cup size. Instead they are pulled over the breasts and firmly, yet without restricting the body, push in the breasts. Normally this would be an ideal option for those who are not too keen on undergoing surgery.

Men who do choose to go under surgery tend to be the ones looking to be rid of the problem altogether. When the surgery is over, patients are advised to lead a healthier more active lifestyle to try and help prevent the same thing from occurring again. Those listed for this surgery will need to have had some preparation beforehand by consulting with a surgeon. This may take some time as you would want to approach a reputable cosmetic surgeon. They are ones who have had five or more years in surgery with two or more years in plastic surgery.

These are offered to men whose condition cannot be prevented or reduced by alternative medical treatment , the condition has stabilised, are of reasonable health and who are non-smokers and non drug users. Normally the men are spoken to about why they desire to have this procedure and how this will affect them in the end. This is where some men can reveal how much this may have lowered their confidence, including what this will do for them once they have had the procedure done.

How much does Gynecomastia (Male chest reduction) cost?

Before you invest thousands in surgery consider the following:

Most people claim that “Man Boobs” are caused by a hormone imbalance… what they don’t realise is that this isn’t the “root cause”. A hormone imbalance doesn’t just happen, something has to trigger it.

Our bodies are made up of over 75 trillion cells. To stay vibrant and healthy they need 3 key elements…

1) Oxygen
2) Minerals
3) Being able to get rid of their waste

Because the western diet and lifestyle is so poor, our cells are seriously deprived (and these are the very building blocks on which we live). As a result some die, but even more worryingly; some mutate. Also, our bodies surround the pollution in fat to protect us from the harm it can cause.

This is the real reasoning for a build up of fat in the chest.

# Here’s the crucial advice – Try this for the next 10 days and judge by your own results…

1) At least 70% of your diet should come from vegetables. The cells in your chest need the minerals to become healthy again.

2) Drink 3-4 litres of pure water a day. Water has been proven to remove fatty deposits almost immediately. It also contains essential minerals.

3) Exercise aerobically for at least 20 minutes everyday. Your body has an internal sewage system called the lymph system. However, in order to get all the junk out, it needs to be manually pumped through deep breathing. By doing so, you’re getting oxygen to the cells and getting rid of the waste.

Understanding the cause of “man boobs” is just the beginning.

Gynecomastia Documentary (Male Breasts)

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition that is prevalent among 20 to 30% of adult males and 30 to 60% of adolescent males. Gynecomastia in Greek is defined by “female breasts” and usually means that the enlarged Male Breast will often consist of female glandular tissue.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeon, approximately 18,000 Male Breast Reduction procedures were performed last year by board certified plastic surgeons. Of those, the breakdown of men affected by Gynecomastia condition is, as follows:

 

Adolescents: An adolescent severe gynecomastia condition may psychologically affect the adolescent and a surgical intervention may be found to be appropriate to avoid difficulty with the daily living activities. In order to make such an important decision about a surgery for children and adolescents, many aspects should be taken into consideration. 

 

Body Builders: Gynecomastia in body builders is usually found due to the use of anabolic steroids and is manifested as sub areola lumps .When it is not treated it may grow to be a very prominent and unnatural looking mass. This esthetic defect may be an impediment to the professional body builder by interfering with wining in body building competitions.     

Obese or Bariatric: Obese male patients that have lost weight as a result of diet or bariatric surgery will commonly have residual enlarged and saggy breasts that may be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Gynecomastia Surgery can relieve these concerns.

 

Fitness has become increasingly more important to the adult population nowadays and increasing. Individuals are more conscious about looking and feeling fit. Surgical correction of large male breasts relieves concerns for many males today.

Can Gynecomastia Be Cured Naturally?

Gynecomastia is a scientific term that comes from the Greek words for ‘women-like breasts’. Gynecomastia itself is not physically harmful, but in some cases may be an indicator of other more dangerous underlying conditions. Gynecomastia is the enlargement of the Male Breast resulting in what is sometimes called ‘Man Boobs‘. It affects an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men.

These breast formation in males is most commonly caused by hormonal changes that can occur at puberty or as part of the aging process. Breast development due to being overweight is referred to as Pseudogynecomastia or false gynecomastia. Breast tissue growth in guys can appear on one or both sides of the chest, and the breast area can feel tender. Though certain drugs and medical problems have been linked with male breast overdevelopment, there is no known cause in the vast majority of cases.

Hormone changes that occur with normal aging can cause gynecomastia, especially in men who are overweight. One of the several glands that produce hormones can malfunction for reasons other than chromosomes. If the balance between the hormones estrogen and testosterone is changed, breast development can occur.

For men who feel self-conscious about their appearance, breast-reduction surgery can help. Surgery can remove fat and or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter and firmer. Surgery may be discouraged for obese or overweight men who have not first attempted to correct the problem with exercise or weight loss.

When male breast-reduction surgery is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Once a patient is deemed a good candidate for Male Breast Reduction, their physician should give them an explanation of the procedure as well as an overview of what type of results they should expect from the surgery. However, surgery is usually expensive and should only be taken into account when other attempts have failed. Surgery may be an option for certain patients when other treatment methods fail or there is breast tissue that remains and has hardened, since other treatments may have no effect in this case short of removal of the tissue.

Men over the age of 50 tend to produce fewer androgens such as testosterone or gain fat tissue that converts androgen into estrogen.

Men with gynecomastia have an overall risk for malignant tumours similar to that in the reference population. Also a non-significantly increased risk for esophageal cancer was noted while no cases of male breast cancer was seen. For men with a gynecomastia diagnosis a after 50 years of age the risk of testicular cancer is negligible whilst a gynecomastia diagnosis before and after 50 years of age may both indicate an increased the risk for skin cancer. Risks of surgical correction for Gynecomastia BleedingInfection and poor healingAllergic reaction to anesthesiaSores around the nipple that can be treated by antibiotic creamScars from surgery which fade away as time goes by.

There are several natural treatments known for gynecomastia. If Male Breasts are tender as a result of gynecomastia, cold compresses may be applied. Many American insurance companies deny coverage for surgery for Gynecomastia Treatment on the grounds that it is a cosmetic procedure.

Obese or overweight men who have not first attempted to correct the condition with exercise and weight loss are discouraged as the condition may be able to be treated without surgery in these individuals. All you have to do to treat obesity related Gynecomastia is to simply go on a diet and get plenty of exercise.

Top 10 pairs of man tits in wrestling!

Why can a fat man show his man tits on TV but a woman can’t show her breasts?

Have you ever thought of that? It contradicts one another, so what is so unappealing about any woman’s breasts as apposed to a fat man’s breasts.
You’d really want your kids seeing Man Boobs instead of a woman’s beautiful natural breasts. This also promotes obsisty.

You have a good point. It has to be rooted in sexist attitudes doesn’t it? After all, in my opinion (as a man), there is nothing sexy about a fat man’s breasts, but there is something soft and appealing and delectable in a woman’s breasts. Maybe part of the answer is that a female’s breasts are used to suckle babies, but men can never do that. Besides, hairy breasts are revolting.

I think to answer your question directly, social attitudes were developed a very long time ago. Note, that women in almost all cultures above TRIBAL cultures and very primitive (as in our view of what is primitive) have been forced to wear heavy dresses, skirts, robes and other paraphernalia to hide the body. With religion being the main motivator behind making shameful women’s natural bodies, and especially with male dominated partriarchism, women became subservient in the eyes of societies. Once subservient, they were made to be subserviant by making them hide what was naturally theirs. So clothing a woman’s breasts is a form of subservient behavior. You and I know it is sexist, but what can you do? If you run down the street half naked, you get arrested.

Until society changes its sexist, puritanical attitudes, you won’t be able to show your breasts in public, even if they are beautiful.

Man’s plea for breast reduction?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7181389.stm

A man who has a condition which has caused him to develop abnormally large breasts says he is frustrated he has been turned down for NHS surgery.
Lee Jardine, 23, from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, suffers from a condition called Gynecomastia.
His doctor says he needs to lose weight but Mr Jardine said this made no difference to the size his breasts.
Nottinghamshire County Primary Care Trust (PCT) said they could not comment on individual cases.

your thoughts on this

Looking at the pictures, those seem to be the result of a condition rather than obesity, which should qualify him for surgery.

Gynecomastia Correction – The Cure For Man Boobs

Believe it or not, approximately 40-60% of men have gynecomastia, or “man boobs.” Gynecomastia is a swelling of the male breast tissue. It is generally caused by an excessive concentration of estrogen in males, resulting in an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen in the body. This hormone imbalance may result from:

• Natural hormone changes
• Medication
• Health conditions

Some men experience gynecomastia during adolescence. These cases will generally go away on their own after puberty. However, it is also quite common for men to develop gynecomastia later in life, particularly after age 50. While man boobs do not pose a serious health risk, many men experience embarrassment as a result of this condition.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia

Sometimes the condition can be remedied with medication. Drugs such as tamoxifen and raloxifene, which are commonly used to treat breast cancer, may be effective in treating some cases of gynecomastia as well.

Frequently, surgery will be required to correct the condition. There are two types of surgical procedures for treating gynecomastia:

• Male Breast Reduction
• Liposuction

If your Male Breasts are primarily made up of glandular tissue, your cosmetic surgeon will perform Male Breast Reduction Surgery. An incision is made either near the areola or under the arm. Your male breast surgeon will remove excess tissue with a scalpel.

If your breasts consist of fatty tissue, liposuction will be a more effective option. Your cosmetic surgeon will make an incision near the areola or under the arm and then break up and remove the excess fat with liposuction.

In cases where both fatty and glandular tissues are present, your surgeon may combine both procedures for maximum effectiveness.

Am I a Candidate for Male Breast Reduction?

Generally, you are a good candidate for male breast reduction if:

• You experience tenderness or pain in your breast tissue
• You experience considerable embarrassment over your condition

At your initial consultation, your male breast surgeon will review your medical history to make sure that you are in good overall health. Most doctors will not perform the surgery if you are not in good general health prior to the procedure.

I am a guy with gynecomastia (Male Breasts). My breasts are a full B to a small C cup. Should I wear a bra?

I am asking this in the Women’s Health section because I figured that women could be a little more helpful in this matter. I cannot afford breast reduction surgery so don’t even suggest that. I have, however, come to accept my breasts and no longer try to hide them. It’s just that they are beginning to sag now and have a tendency to bounce quite a bit. This is both painful at times, and annoying. If a bra is what I need, what kind? Thanks for any help!

Since your a guy, you may want a sports bra. If you get anything else, it’ll make your breasts look super perky and feminine. Get one for your size that is comfortable around your body, and holds the breasts in place without bouncing too much. This will also minimize outward appearance of the size. Good for you for accepting your body as is! Of course it’s perfectly acceptable to get thm reduced once you can afford it, but until then, keep loving your body!

What is likliness of a 13 year old healthy regular weight male having breast cancer?

I have a strange bump under my right nipple and had been there for 3-5 months. What should I do? I have heard about cancer and males and am having some scary thoughts. Right now I am literally shaking and cannot stop. Some one please help. And what else do you know about it?

The chances of a 13 year old male, healthy or unhealthy, having breast cancer are as close to zero as makes no difference.

Men do get breast cancer, but fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male.

And 80% of all people diagnosed with cancer are over 50; most men diagnosed with it are over 60.

Only 5% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 40, only 0.1% are under 30 and it’s almost unheard of in under 25s.

So you can see how huge the odds against a 13 year old male getting breast cancer are.

April is quite right, most breast lumps in men are actually a condition called Gynaecomastia, a button-like growth under the nipple and areola area that can be felt and is sometimes visible to the naked eye and occasionally it can be quite tender.

This increase in the amount of breast tissue is not a tumour and occurs due to changes in hormone balances at times like adolescence – your age, in other words. It’s not unusual and it’s temporary.

This is probably what you have; talk to your parents about this.If you feel you can’t do that, see your school nurse who should be able to reassure you
