GOLDEN, CO, March 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Gynecomastia is a combination of two Greek words: gynaik meaning "woman" and mastos meaning "breasts," and is the medical term for overly developed, large, womanly beasts on males. This embarrassing condition can be brought about by genetics, age, weight gain, and even some medications. Unfortunately, even with a healthy diet and a rigorous exercise routine, male breasts may refuse to diminish in shape or size. When this is the case, male breast reduction performed by a board-certified* plastic surgeon becomes your very best option.

Performing Male Breast Reduction

To perform male breast reduction, your plastic surgeon will first need to determine the cause of your breasts. If your breasts have been made large by excess glandular tissue, an excision to remove tissue and fat will be requires. If fat alone is the culprit, your plastic surgeon may be able to perform male breast reduction through liposuction alone.

In both instances, excess fat and tissue will be removed through a small incision, allowing your skin to firm to your pectoral muscles and provide a firmer, manlier, more attractive physique. These methods have the potential to provide a lifetime of results, but maintaining your new physique will require some effort on your part.

Maintaining Results

Male breast reduction can eliminate excess fat and tissue, but alone cannot keep you trim and fit. This procedure is best for men who are in good general health and relatively close to their ideal weight. Once fat has been removed, it cannot come back. This does not mean that new fat cannot develop. To maintain the results of male breast reduction you should:

- Refrain from smoking
- Refrain from excessive alcohol consumption
- Exercise at least two hours every week
- Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet

During your recovery period, you will need to refrain from strenuous exercise. It is a good idea to begin walking and performing gentle exercises during this time to speed your healing process and get into the habit of physical activity. Once you have recovered fully, you can begin to sculpt and define your chest with weights and more vigorous exercises. Your plastic surgeon will discuss all of this with you during your initial consultation.

You have a right to feel manly and attractive. If gynecomastia is interfering with the body you desire, talk to a plastic surgeon about male breast reduction today.

If you are suffering from gynecomastia in or around Atlanta, Marietta, or Woodstock, Georgia, please visit the website of Marietta Plastic Surgery for more information about your options.

Patient Dumping

2012-03-22

Patient dumping occurs when a medically unstable patient is discharged due to financial reasons. Not only is patient dumping illegal, it is a form of medical negligence that can result in significant compensation for its victims. In 1986, Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) requiring that every patient, regardless of their financial state, be provided with emergency care. EMTALA further states that no patient can be discharged until they have received full treatment within the scope of a hospital's abilities. Violations of EMTALA ...

What is a Brow Lift?

2012-03-22

As you age, gravity, genetics, and lifestyle choices can cause your brow to droop. The end result can be a constant look of tiredness, sternness, or anger. In addition, a drooping brow can make your eyebrows drop over your eyes, making your eyes look small, even mean at times. Because these unintentional facial expressions often do not match the personality of those they affect, many people as young as 30 have begun looking to plastic surgery for solutions. The most common solution for a droopy forehead is a brow lift. A brow lift is exactly what it sounds like: a surgical ...

Correction of Breast Asymmetry

2012-03-22

Very few women are blessed with perfectly symmetrical breasts. In fact, breast asymmetry is more common than you might think. Approximately 10% of women have one breast that is significantly different in size or shape from the other. And as you age, this asymmetry may become more pronounced as the smaller breast remains relatively flat while the larger one grows in size due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Ultimately, this can increase sagging issues in the larger breast, further accentuating the asymmetry you experience. If you are self conscious or embarrassed ...

Truckers Challenge Rule Designed to Ensure They Get Enough Rest

2012-03-22

Highway safety is important for everyone, and trucker alertness is a key component of highway safety. That's why for decades, the federal government has required truckers to keep track of the hours that they drive. These laws, governing Hours of Service (HOS) are designed to ensure truck drivers have sufficient time to sleep and therefore prevent driver fatigue, which is a significant cause of highway accidents. The latest revisions to the HOS rules, however, have some truckers and trucking companies concerned, because they feel the rules keep drivers off the road too ...

2012-03-22

Though this winter has been the third least snowiest in upstate New York since 1884, Albany residents should not neglect their responsibility to clear sidewalks of snow and ice, especially after late-season freezes or snowfalls like the one that dumped almost nine inches over the city in early March. Failing to clear sidewalks after a storm puts pedestrians at risk and property owners vulnerable to personal injury lawsuits. In Albany, property owners or residents must clear the snow and ice from all sidewalks adjacent to their properties within 24 hours after the end ...

Sentencing Realignment to Affect Prison Population

2012-03-22

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor made his feelings known about Dr. Conrad Murray during his recent sentencing hearing. He appeared ready to send Dr. Murray to state prison for his actions surrounding the death of pop icon Michael Jackson. However, a new law prevented Pastor from handing down a prison sentence. Instead, Dr. Murray would spend the maximum time allowed under law in county jail. The California legislature recently imposed new rules for sentencing non-violent, non-serious and non-sex-related offenses. Essentially, those convicted of such felonies would ...

Too Many Passengers and Teenage Car Accident Risk

2012-03-22

Birds of a similar feather do indeed tend to flock together. The old proverb can apply in many different contexts, but the basic meaning remains the same: people like to associate with other people who are like themselves. This can be a major problem when the "birds" in question are teenage drivers who are inclined to ignore rules about safe driving. Such drivers are the cause of many Chicago car accidents. This article will discuss recent research findings that peer pressure is a main cause of accidents for teen drivers. Knowing more about why and how this ...
