Gynecomastia is the increase in male breast tissue, which results in visibly larger breasts. Although this condition is most frequently caused by a change in hormones, it can also be triggered by prescription medications, drug use, certain foods, and medical conditions. Regardless of the cause, however, an excess of estrogen is almost always an underlying factor.
Hormonal Changes
In most instances, Gynecomastia develops in males who are experiencing hormonal changes. When boys or men experience hormonal imbalance, an increased occurrence of estrogen (female hormones) encourages the growth of breast tissue and the androgens (male hormones) are unable to counteract this development. As […]

If you have recently had a breast augmentation procedure, and wish you went larger, you are not alone. This is a common request from patients, but before discussing revision surgery, it is also important to wait until the implants completely heal and settle, and then it is recommended that patients wait up to a year before increasing the size of their implants.
There is an emotional process after having a breast augmentation performed and over time you may decide the size is perfect. However, it is understandable that over the years your body will change, or there is a change of […]
Both types of implants have advantages and disadvantages, and offer different gains for each woman’s unique physical make-up. Silicone implants come pre-filled and have a natural feel, so they work well for women who have less breast tissue coverage. They feel softer and more natural than saline implants, and are often recommended for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. On the other hand, saline breast implants are filled after they are inserted, so they are good for correcting asymmetrical breasts. Saline implants feel a bit more like water balloons than silicone implants, but they work well for women who are naturally a moderate […]
Choosing to have breast augmentation surgery involved making several important decisions. After choosing the incision type, the next step is to decide the location of the implant: above the pectoralis major chest muscle (also called the pre-pectoral or sub-mammary position), or under the chest muscle (known as sub-pectoral positioning). There are advantages to both surgery types and each option works well to address patients’ different needs and goals.
When To Choose The Pre-Pectoral Or Sub-Mammary Position
Having the implant placed in this position means that it will go above the chest muscle, directly under the skin and fatty tissue of the breast. […]

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove additional stubborn fat from your body. Typically, people choose to have the procedure performed on their chest, thighs, buttocks, back, tummy tuck, and arms. It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss remedy and most people who have it performed are already at their ideal weight or within a close range. In fact, liposuction is generally used to remove fat that does not respond to exercising and diet alone.
The process is performed by using a tube called a cannula. This tube is inserted under the skin and facilitates […]
