Gynecomastia Breast Surgery For Men London Kent

Gynecomastia Breast Surgery For Men

Cosmetic surgery for women has long been accepted as a means of looking good. For at least a decade breast augmentation has been top of the most wanted procedure list for women and now men are turning to breast surgery to shape their chests.

Last year in the USA over 20,000 men had Gynecomastia, or breast reduction surgery and statistics show that in the UK there has been a 44% increase between 2007 and 2011 in men undergoing the same procedure.

The term Gynecomastia comes from the Greek words “gyne” meaning woman, and “mastos” meaning breast. In practical terms, this means abnormally large breasts on men. Although the condition is relatively common in adolescent boys, 90% of the time symptoms disappear as they enter adulthood. But the remaining 10% can feel burdened with a social handicap that can cause a deep and complex shame, putting ones relationship with ones body at risk.

Man boobs or “Moobs” as they are more commonly known have caused men constant embarrassment and distress for years. This problem is caused by the development of unusually large glands in men resulting in breast enlargement, and with studies showing that 47% of men in the UK hate the look of their chests, just as many are seeking help to correct these problem areas. They are resorting to surgery to do just that.

Mr Davood Fallahdar, cosmetic and plastic surgeon at the Belvedere Private Clinic agrees that there is definitely a growing trend towards men opting to have breast reduction surgery. Now that cosmetic surgery in men is becoming more acceptable and carries less of a stigma we are receiving more and more enquiries from men of all ages wanting this type of surgery.

The procedure is fairly simple and mainly involves removing the fatty deposits around the breast area that causes the chest to appear swollen and feminine. This is done with liposuction, gland excision or a combination of both. The patient will have to wear a support strap for a couple of weeks until the swelling has subsided but the down time is minimal, leaving most men impressed with their “fat to flat” results.

So, what is the reason that these 47% of men have “Moobs”. Is it too many beers at lunchtime and too little exercise ? Apparently not. The reasons are not always down to unhealthy living or lack of exercise. It can be genetic or it can be a problem that occurs during puberty with hormone changes.

Male Breast Surgery Before and After

Gynecomastia can often happen as the result of taking certain medications that influence the body’s hormonal levels. It can also occur if someone is suffering from a testicular tumor, which causes estrogen production to significantly increase.

Men who take anabolic steroids,have to realise they also have a Androgenic effect. Most steroids cause Testosterone levels to rise, the human body responds by producing Estrogen to balance the Testosterone levels. So, the more your Testosterone level increases through the amount of steroids you take, and the length of your steroid cycle, the more your Estrogen level will increase as well. This irregular raise in Estrogen, can cause the development of breast tissue in men as Estrogen is the predominate female hormone.

Many body builders try to combat their estrogen levels by taking anti-estrogens such as Nolvadex, Aromisin, Letrozole or Chlomid. If the balance is not met exactly, fibrous breast tissue can develop, if not caught quickly the growth of this fibrous tissue is impossible to reverse with anti-estrogens. It is not a fat deposit like other types of Gynecomastia and can only be removed by a skilled surgeon.

Whilst not life threatening, the condition can obviously lower self-esteem and in some cases lead to depression.

Whatever the reasons, its seems that these areas of fat or fibrous tissue are sometimes impossible to shift with diet and exercise alone and surgery is often the only option.

Laser Tattoo Removal London Kent

If you are not happy with your body art, you don’t have to put up with it any more.

Not happy with your tattoo?

The Belvedere clinic are now offering BRAND NEW LASER treatments that will remove your Tattoo within 3 – 6 months.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful ?

The laser emits light in very short flashes of light called pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a thin rubber band or specks of hot bacon grease on the skin. After the treatment the area will feel similar to slight sunburn. Typically, within a day or so, any discomfort disappears. The area may remain reddened for two to four weeks. After the redness clears the skin is returned to its natural smooth colouring and texture.

How Many Treatment Sessions will It Take To Remove The Tattoo

On average, professional tattoos require at least 6-10 treatments, while amateur tattoos require 3-6 treatments, all spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of ink used and the depth of the ink in the skin.

Do All Colours of Ink Respond Well To Tattoo Removal?

No. Dark (blue/black) inks and red inks fade the best. Oranges and purples usually respond well. Green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove, although additional treatments can produce significant fading.

Will The Tattoo Completely Disappear ?

Greater than 95% of fading of the tattoo may be accomplished. However, it is very important to know that over 100 tattoo inks are in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink, how deep or how much was used makes it impossible for the physician to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.

Tattoo Removal before and after

What Type of Post Treatment Care is Necessary ?

Usually there will be pinpoint bleeding associated with the treatment. An antibacterial ointment and a dressing will be applied to the area. The treated area should be kept clean.

Why Doesn’t The Laser Removal My Normal Skin Pigmentation ?

The laser light was designed for its properties that selectively target dark concentrations of melanin. If after the abnormal concentration of melanin was removed and treatment continued on normal skin, some whitening could occur. However your body’s natural regenerative system would replace the normal melanin after a period of time returning the melanin to its natural state.
