Male Breast Reduction Procedure

Breasts in males are called genycomastia, a Greek word meaning "breasts looking similar to women`s". 40-60% of men have breasts; many conditions can cause this phenomenon like medication and medical problems (alcohol use, marihuana and steroids), but in most of the cases the reason is not known. It can damage self-confidence and self esteem, therefore breast reduction can help.

Here is some General Information about AK:

Alaska By car

Alaska is connected to the contiguous U.S. (known in Alaska as the "Lower 48") through Canada via the Alaska Highway. The highway is paved and maintained year-round. Sometimes it's a little too maintained, creating a uniquely Alaskan and Canadian situation: at any given time in the summer, you're bound to hit at least several dozen miles of road construction. Since the roads in construction zones usually have only one working lane, the construction companies operate "pilot cars" (usually pick-up trucks with yellow rotating beacons and large signs that say "Follow me"). They drive back and forth between the two ends of the construction zone and lead the vehicles safely to the other end. Depending on the length of the construction zone, the wait can be anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours. Since there's only one main road, you can't really drive around the construction.

The ideal candidates for the operation are men with genicomastia for at least a year long who have developed chest muscles and elastic skin. The surgery is not recommended for overweight men who can`t loose weight using diet and exercise.

In case of extra breast tissue the surgeon will remove it through an invisible cut around the nipple or below the breast fold. Sometimes extra fat also removed using this method; the canula used for suction of the fat is inserted through the cut already made. When there is extra skin needs to be removed, the procedure may leave bigger scars.

AK male breast reduction - Tip of the day:
The Root of the Problem Corrected by Male Breast Reduction
Women with very large breasts may suffer back pain, skin infections under the breast folds and breathing difficulties. Despite being an advantage among women as this is deemed as sexy, it causes problems too. This is the reason why women are wary of heavy fronts and visit AK(Alaska) to reduce their ‘baggage’.

If the extra tissue is fat, liposuction is performed. The cuts, 5-7 millimeters long, are made at the margins of the breast, from below and from the side. Sometimes small cut is made around the nipple. You may feel a vibration sensation, but no pain, if the procedure is done using local anesthetics. In extreme cases when there is large amounts of fat and tissue extracted, the extra skin needs to be removed, then a drainage tube usually left to prevent fluid collection.

Finally, incisions are closed and pressure bandages are placed.

Every operation has its risks. The risks include infection, bleeding, fluid collection, breast asymmetry (that needs to be corrected in additional surgery), scars, nipple distortion and permanent color changes of the skin.

AK male breast reduction - News update:
Dutch researchers have examined the discontinuation rate of maintenance antidepressants (AD) in recurrently depressed patients in daily clinical practice and the associated risk of recurrence. They used data on 172 patients with recurrent depression from the DELTA study, who were in remission on various types of treatment. Use of AD before recurrence (non-users, intermittent users, continuous users) was examined and related to recurrence over a 2-year follow-up period. The researchers found that: • 42% of the patients used AD continuously. • Based on minimal effective dosage (20 mg or > fluoxetine equivalent), only 26% of patients used AD as recommended by international guidelines. • Despite continuous use of AD, 60.4% relapsed in 2 years; this was comparable to the rate of the intermittent users (63.6%). • In patients who stopped taking AD after remission and who received additional preventive cognitive therapy, the recurrence rates were lower than in non-AD-using patients treated with usual care (8 vs. 46%). The researchers conclude from these findings “the majority of recurrently depressed patients treated with AD discontinue maintenance AD therapy in daily primary and secondary clinical practice. AD seems to offer poor protection against relapse in this patient group.” They recommend that alternative maintenance treatments should be evaluated. More...

After the surgery you may feel uncomfortable, regardless of the technique used. It can be treated with painkillers. Swelling and hemorrhage may appear in the area, to reduce the swelling you`ll be instructed to wear a tight bandage around the chest for several weeks day and night. The breast will reach their final size in 3 month or so. You`ll be able to go back to work after a week or two. It is advised to restrain from sexual activity or physical efforts for at least 2 weeks, and any activity that may harm the chest for a month. It`s important to avoid sunlight to your chest for 6 month to prevent color changes in the breast
