One
of the most popular procedures among women is breast enhancement. There
is a large amount of women that wish they had bigger, fuller, firmer,
smaller, or younger looking breasts. Women that feel their breasts are
too small can get breast implants to help correct that issue. With the
help of a breast augmentation Beverly Hills
women are able to enhance the size, shape, and appearance of a woman’s
breast. Breast implants can help enhance a woman’s body contour when she
believes that her breast size is too small. Breast implants can also be
used to correct a reduction in breast volume following pregnancy or
significant weight loss. Breast reduction is also a popular procedure
among women who want their breasts to look smaller and better shaped.
Breast reduction can also help alleviate the strain on the back and neck
as well as the irritation beneath the breasts. Though rarely discussed,
male reduction is also a popular cosmetic surgery. Male breast reduction Beverly Hills,
also known as gynecomastia, is the surgical correction of
over-developed breasts in men. About 50% of men have localized fat or
glandular tissue in at least one of their breasts. According to the
American Society of Plastic Surgeons, gynecomastia accounts for over 65%
of all male breast disorders. Enlarged male breasts can be treated with
or without liposuction. Although enlarged male breasts are not a
serious medical concern, it can be painful. Although in most cases the
cause of enlarged breasts is not knows, some causes include antibiotics,
cancer medications, ulcer medications, use of marijuana, use of heroin,
alcohol, and many other drugs and medications. According
to the American Academy of Family Physicians, up to 65% of men 14-years
old have enlarged breasts. This condition is due in great part to the
fluctuations in sex hormones that occur during puberty. In most of these
cases the excess breast tissue disappears within 3 years without
treatment. Enlargement typically occurs on both sides of the chest. If
the enlargement is only on one side and is hard, then you should contact
your primary physician immediately to rule out the possibility of male
breast cancer. Gynecomastia in older men is usually a result of
decreasing levels of testosterone, a male sex hormone that diminishes
with advanced aging. Men can also experience an increase in body fat
with age and a resultant rise in ratio of estrogen (female sex hormones)
to androgens (male sex hormones). Good
candidates for gynecomastia treatment are men that are healthy, have a
relatively normal weight and are bothered by the large size of their
breasts. Male breast reduction may be discouraged if the patients are
extremely overweight and have not first attempted to lose weight. In
some cases the appearance of fat on male chests may appear like
gynecomastia but it is not; it is usually a condition that can be
resolved with diet or exercise. The best candidates for a male breast
reduction will have firm, elastic skin that can reshape to the body’s
new contours.
