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.

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.

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

  • Canada Understand

    Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, it resembles its neighbour to the South, the United States, and shares with it the longest undefended border in the world. Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 by an act of British parliament, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Though a medium sized country by its population, Canada has earned respect on the international stage for its strong diplomatic skills. Internally, the country has displayed success in negotiating compromises amongst a culturally and linguistically varied population, a difficult task considering that language, culture, cuisine and even history vary significantly over the country. In contrast to the United States' image as a melting pot, Canada prefers to consider itself a mosaic of cultures and people. The information below will get you started, but be sure to check the specifics for given regions and cities. It has socialized medicine, too.


  • Canada By car

    Although less likely, you might also enter the country by road from the United States through one of the (literally) hundreds of border crossing points. Obviously, the same rules will apply here, but if your case is not straightforward, expect to be delayed, as the officials here (especially in more rural areas) see fewer international travellers than at the airports. Also expect delays during holiday periods, as border crossings can become clogged with traffic.

    Drivers of American cars will need a certificate confirming that they carry enough public liability insurance (generally $200,000) to meet the requirements of all Canadian provinces and territories. Since many US states permit limits below this threshold, American visitors bringing their own automobiles should check with their automobile insurers and obtain the required certificate.

  • U.S. inspectors will go to China to try to find the cause of recently reported health problems associated with a widely used blood-thinning drug.
  • A RADAR (Rational Assessment of Drugs and Research) review on the use of fentanyl lozenges (Actiq) for breakthrough cancer pain has been published and is available to access via the link above. This review was completed on behalf of the National Prescribing Service (NPS), which is an independent Australian organisation supporting the quality use of medicines. The authors make the following conclusions and recommendations (taken directly from the source): • Fentanyl lozenges are an oromucosal formulation for breakthrough cancer pain in people stabilised on regular opioid therapy for persistent cancer pain. • Oral morphine is the opioid of first choice on the basis of familiarity, cost and dosing flexibility. Consider fentanyl lozenges if an increase in morphine dose to control breakthrough pain causes intolerable adverse effects. • Be aware of the following important safety issues: - Do not use fentanyl lozenges in opioid-naïve patients because of the risk of respiratory depression. - Prevent accidental or deliberate misuse by instructing patients and carers on the correct use, storage and disposal of fentanyl lozenges. - Keep intact or partially used lozenges away from children. • To maximise oromucosal absorption of fentanyl, the lozenges should be moved along the cheek lining, not chewed, and swallowing of saliva minimised if possible until the lozenge is finished. • Fentanyl lozenges have a side-effect profile typical of that of other opioids. Instruct patients and carers to remove the lozenge immediately if excessive side effects occur during use. • There is no dose equivalence between fentanyl lozenges and other opioid formulations. The optimal dose cannot be predicted by the dose of regular opioid or previous breakthrough opioid. It should be individually titrated by starting at the lowest dose (200 micrograms).
