Although many people assume that the presence of “man boobs” is a result of weight gain or age, in reality, Gynecomastia, the condition that causes male breast tissue to develop, can affect healthy boys and men of any age. Gynecomastia is caused by an imbalance of hormones—specifically an increased presence of estrogen and / or reduced amount of testosterone.
Although in most instances this alteration of hormones is caused by natural changes, such as puberty, and therefore cannot be avoided, foods that are high in estrogen can modify your hormone levels, potentially worsening the effects of Gynecomastia. As a result, the […]
Gynecomastia is the medical term used to describe enlarged male breasts, a condition that affects some 40% to 60% of men. The medical community has had a difficult time identifying any specific underlying causes (or accompanying medical issues). Some studies do demonstrate an increased incidence of gynecomastia in obese patients or those who regularly use certain drugs (anabolic steroids, spironolactone, Tagamet, marijuana and alcohol), but many sufferers may present the condition without the existence of these factors. Many sufferers experience diminished self-confidence and feel socially inhibited. The goal of male breast reduction treatment is to remove excess fat and glandular […]

In addition to increasing their cup size, many women opt to undergo a breast augmentation with the hope that it will create more cleavage. Cleavage is a term used to describe the gap or space between the breasts. Narrow cleavage, characterized by breasts that are close together, is typically considered most desirable. However, it is important to be aware that it is not the surgeon who determines if you will have cleavage after breast implants but rather your natural nipple placement, the position of your pectoralis muscles, and the vertical midline of your chest.

Placing the implants under the breast itself (submammary) gives a rounder “faker-looking” breast augmentation. It’s […]

The idea behind this measure is to reduce the risk of bacteria dislodged in the mouth from travelling to the breast implant area. The risk of infection is relatively low for any patient with or without implants,but the impact for infection would be different after BA surgery.
