Male Breast Reduction in Curitiba BR
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.

- A systematic review and meta-analysis published early online in the Lancet Oncology has concluded that patients taking sorafenib have a statistically significant risk of developing hypertension.
Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 clinical trials in which a total of 4599 cancer patients (renal cell carcinoma or other solid tumours) had been randomised to receive sorafenib 400mg twice daily, and the incidence of hypertension was reported in the safety data.
The following results were reported:
• Sorafenib was associated with a statistically significantly increased risk of all-grade hypertension in patients with cancer, with a relative risk RR of 6.11 (2.44–15.32], p<0.001) compared with controls.
• For patients assigned sorafenib, the overall incidence of all-grade and high-grade (i.e. grade 3 or 4) hypertension were 23.4% (95% CI 16.0–32.9%) and 5.7% (2.5–12.6%), respectively.
• No significant difference was noted between patients with RCC or a non-RCC malignancy (all grade: RR 1.03 [95% CI 0.73–1.45], p=0.89; high-grade: RR 1.23 [0.76–1.99], p=0.40) who were assigned sorafenib.
The authors also conclude that appropriate monitoring of patients taking sorafenib is strongly recommended to prevent cardiovascular complications.
