Thousands of men in America suffer from a condition called gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts. This is a benign condition that usually develops in prepubescent boys. It is caused by the development of fibrous and dense breast tissue that does not go away after puberty.

This condition often cause the patient to suffer from low self esteem and, often refuses to participate in athletic activities because of embarrassment. The good news is this condition can often be corrected by a Newport Beach Breast Surgery specialist with simple liposuction or ultra-sound assisted liposuction.

In some of the more extreme cases the Newport Beach Breast Surgeon will need to surgically remove the extra breast tissue in combination with the liposuction procedure to correct the breast size and resculpture the chest area. This surgical procedure is more complicated and will require general anesthesia.

All medical procedures must be preceded by a full evaluation by a Newport Beach breast surgery professional. Call your doctor for a consultation to find out if your or someone you love is a candidate for this procedure.

Newport Beach Breast Reduction Surgery

People usually equate Newport Beach Breast Surgery with augmentation procedures but many patients need breast reduction surgery to improve their physical and mental well being. In extreme cases the need for breast reduction is a serious health concern and is often covered by health insurance.

Breast reduction surgery is the process of removing excess fat, glandular material and skin from the breast to reduce the breast mass and reposition the breast, nipple and areola to a more proper placement. This process not only will restore a more natural, youthful appearance to the breast, it will reduce the stress and back pain associated with overly large breasts.

When a Newport Beach Breast Surgery specialist performs a breast reduction procedure, it usually includes at least some liposuction to remove extra fat form the breast area. Sometimes this liposuction is enough to alleviate the problem for women and usually is sufficient for male breast reduction cases.

If you have chronic back pain, difficulty performing normal tasks or deep grooves in your shoulders from bra straps, you are probably a candidate for Newport Beach Breast Reduction Surgery. Only a consultation with a professional breast surgeon can tell for sure. Contact your doctor and discuss the details with them.

Newport Beach Breast Surgery – Implant

Most breast implant surgery is performed with either an anatomically shaped implant or a round implant. When considering having Newport Beach Breast Surgery you will consult with your surgeon the benefits of each but, for information purposes, we’ll discuss the differences here.

Round Implants

The round breast implant is, as the name implies, round. The round breast implant was design specifically for breast augmentation purposes. The implant will have either a smooth or textured surface and be filled with either silicone or saline. The round implant moves freely in the cavity created by the surgeon and while the shape is completely round when laid on a table, if held up as it would be if a patient were standing it takes on a more natural and anatomically correct shape. The round implant is less expensive than the anatomical implant.

Anatomical/Contoured Implant

The anatomical implant was initially designed for reconstruction purposes but has become common in the augmentation market. As the name implies, they have a more natural shape in that they have more mass at the bottom. This difference in shape however can cause serious issues with appearance for obvious reasons if the implant “flips” or turns over. For this reason is it highly recommended that you be certain your Newport Beach Breast Surgery doctor has experience placing this type of implant.

As mentioned before, both shapes are available in silicon or saline filled and smooth or textured surface. There are pros and cons to all of the options and you can find people who prefer each one. Your Newport Beach Breast Surgery specialist will discuss all of your options with you and help you find the implant to fill your needs.
