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.

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.

Massachusetts male breast reduction - Tip of the day:
You`ll be able to return to your daily activities within a few days, although you should restrain from strenuous activities for about a month. It is recommended that you do not smoke, which interferes the healing processes. Also avoid sexual activities for 1-2 weeks. The scars and bruises usually disappear after a few weeks and the final results can be seen 6 months after the surgery.

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.

Massachusetts male breast reduction - News update:
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has published an appraisal consultation document (ACD – draft guidance) on the use of alendronate, etidronate, risedronate, raloxifene, strontium ranelate and teriparatide for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenopausal women. The guidance recommends (direct from source): 1.1 Alendronate is recommended as a treatment option for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenopausal women who have a T-score of -2.5 SD or below. In women aged 75 years or older, a DXA scan may not be required if the responsible clinician considers it to be clinically inappropriate or unfeasible. When the decision has been made to initiate treatment with alendronate, the preparation prescribed should be chosen on the basis of the lowest acquisition cost available. 1.2 Risedronate and etidronate are recommended as alternative treatment options for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenopausal women: • who are unable to comply with the special instructions for the administration of alendronate, have a contraindication to, or are intolerant of alendronate (as defined in section 1.7) and • who also have a T-score, age and number of independent clinical risk factors for fracture (see section 1.5) - please refer to table in the ACD for T-scores (SD) at (or below) which risedronate or etidronate is recommended. 1.3 Raloxifene and strontium ranelate are recommended as alternative treatment options for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenopausal women: • who are unable to comply with the special instructions for the administration of alendronate and risedronate, or who have a contraindication to or are intolerant of alendronate and risedronate (as defined in section 1.6) and • who also have a T-score, age and number of independent clinical risk factors for fracture (see section 1.5) - please refer to table in the ACD for T-scores (SD) at (or below) which raloxifene or strontium ranelate is recommended. 1.4 Teriparatide is recommended as an alternative treatment option for the secondary prevention of osteoporotic fragility fractures in postmenopausal women: • who are unable to take alendronate and risedronate, have a contraindication to, or are intolerant of alendronate and risedronate (as defined in section 1.6) or who have a contraindication to, or are intolerant of strontium ranelate (as defined in section 1.7) and • who are 65 years or older and have an extremely low BMD (with a T-score of -4 SD or below), or a very low BMD (with a T-score of -3.5 SD or below) plus multiple fractures (that is, more than two), or who are aged 55-64 years and have a T-score of -4 SD or below plus multiple fractures (that is, more than two). 1.5 For the purposes of this guidance, independent clinical risk factors for fracture to be considered are: parental history of hip fracture, alcohol intake of 4 or more units per day, and severe, long-term rheumatoid arthritis. 1.6 For the purposes of this guidance, intolerance of alendronate and risedronate is defined as persistent upper gastrointestinal disturbance that is sufficiently severe to warrant discontinuation of treatment and that occurs even though the instructions for administration have been followed correctly. 1.7 For the purpose of this guidance, intolerance of strontium ranelate is defined as persistent nausea or diarrhoea, either of which warrants discontinuation of treatment. 1.8 Women who are currently receiving treatment with one of the drugs covered by this guidance, but for whom therapy would have not been recommended according to sections 1.1 to 1.4, should have the option to continue therapy until they and their clinicians consider it appropriate to stop. The key dates for this appraisal are: Closing date for comments: 23 April 2008 Second Appraisal Committee meeting: 01 May 2008 More...
