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

Singapore Addresses

In the centre Singapore's addressing system is fairly normal ("17 Orchard Rd" etc), but the new housing developments on the outskirts may appear more intimidating: a typical address might be "Blk 505 Jurong West St 51 #01-186". Here "Blk 505" is the housing block number, "Jurong West St 51" is the street name, and "#01-186" means floor 1, unit, stall or shop 186. Note that the first digit of both housing block and street number is the neighborhood's number (in this case 5), making it easier to narrow down the right location. There are also 6-digit postal codes, which - considering the small size of the island - generally correspond to exactly one building. For example, "Blk 9 Bedok South Ave 2" is "Singapore 460009".

A very useful tool for hunting down addresses is the free online Singapore Street Directory [1]. Most taxis carry a street directory, which can come in handy in the unlikely event that they don't know your destination. Many are now equipped with GPS navigation systems.

Singapore male breast reduction - News update:
A BMJ 'Head to Head' pair of articles considers arguments for and against the metabolic syndrome as a useful entity. This is a long-running saga, raised in a joint paper from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association three years ago and rumbling on since. The arguments against the term as a diagnosis suggest that it is difficult to produce a consistent definition, what features to include, and what thresholds should be set. The author notes that the latest definition of the term is based around waist circumference, however he notes that the relation between this and fat distribution varies according to ethnicity. Attempts to get round this include use of cardiovascular risk to calibrate populations, however this is also an outcome of the measure thus introducing a circular definition. The author considers that diagnosis of the syndrome has no clinical value, as it is redundant in those who already have diabetes and adds nothing to the management of those who do not. He concludes that it is a "diagnostic artefact with little prognostic or therapeutic value." The authors arguing in favour of the syndrome assert that it provides a simple public health strategy to define those at higher risk. They comment that it is not intended to give an absolute risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, but to highlight those at increased risk, doctors can then focus on this group. They conclude that it does have clinical value as a simple screening tool for use in the real world. More...
