Body Sculpting Procedures for Men and Women
Many people have difficulty losing weight especially when they approach middle age. Most women in particular do not normally recover their youthful figures after giving birth. Some women experience their breasts sagging, and their abdomen and thighs do not return to their pre-pregnancy state even when they work out and go on a diet. Men also tend to have the same problem as they grow older.
Normally, women have surgery done for their breasts either for expansion or reduction, but some men also undergo some sort of breast reduction procedure. Some men experience a condition called gynecomastia, an abnormal accumulation of fat in the breast area. This condition is harmless, but it can cause men to be embarrassed of having “man-boobs.”
Gynecomastia manifests in different bodily conditions. Pseudogynecomastia is the type in which the man’s areola (the dark colored area around the nipple) is noticeably large and/or protruding like a woman’s. Unilateral or asymmetrical gynecomastia occurs when one breast is larger than the other. Pure glandular gynecomastia often occurs in some bodybuilders when the anabolic steroids they consume are converted into estrogen, a female sexual hormone.
This condition can be corrected by gynecomastia surgery Tampa cosmetic surgeons perform. It is sometimes combined with liposuction to make a patient’s breasts in proportion with the rest of his/her body. The procedure involves making an incision under the nipple from which the surgeon removes excess breast tissue. This procedure can reduce the risk of breast cancer for men.
While men desire to remove excess breast tissue, women normally want bigger and suppler breasts or buttocks to make them feel more confident and attractive. An alternative to getting breast implants is having fat grafting Tampa cosmetic surgeons may perform. In this procedure, the surgeon removes excess fat from a different part of the body (like the thighs or abdomen) and transfers it to the breasts or buttocks. Because it uses the patient’s own tissues, the body is not likely to reject the transferred fat and cause infection in the area where the fat is placed.
Liposuction is also done in the fat transfer procedure. For most patients, having liposuction only is enough. However, there is a less painful alternative called laser liposuction. The laser lipo St Pete cosmetic surgeons may perform involves the use of a very thin line of laser to melt off the excess fat while making the skin taut over the area. This procedure has a significantly shorter recovery period when compared with more invasive fat removal procedures.
