Breast Augmentation Do Women Prefer Round or Shaped Implants?

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 13, 2013

Many people question whether there is a true difference between shaped breast implants and round implants. Currently only the round gel implants are approved for general public use. Cohesive anatomically shaped breast implants are not approved in the United States, though trials for the latter are being conducted. A study published in the March 2013 volume of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery examined patients who underwent breast augmentation, approximately half with round implants and half with anatomically shaped implants. The study confirmed that patients had no difference in overall satisfaction between round and shaped implants (Go to: Go to goo.gl/KWnm3).

Im somewhat surprised at the results, says Dr. Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. I would have anticipated that anatomically shaped implants would prove more popular.

Over the years silicone breast implants have changed in shape, thickness, and construction. The first generation lasted about eight years, and the second generation was thinner and rounder, leading to a more natural feel. After several reports of rupture and gel leakage into the body, a third generation of implants was created in 1982. The fourth generation of silicone breast implants offers a low-leakage shell and more cohesive silicone gel. A fifth generation is rounder and offers less rippling with a more "breast-like" look.

The study, conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, set out to discover the patient reported outcomes of breast reconstruction using round implants versus shaped implants. The study included 65 women who had received round implants and 63 who had shaped implants.

The patients completed a special questionnaire that focused on various aspects of their lives such as general satisfaction, satisfaction with care, satisfaction with overall outcome, as well as psychosocial, sexual and physical well-being. Patients completed the questionnaire at one to four years post-surgery.

Women who had surgery with shaped implants had a satisfaction score of about 77 percent out of 100, whereas women who had round implants placed had a 75 percent satisfaction score. The study confirmed that there was very little difference in satisfaction across the board, except that women with shaped implants self-rated their breasts as firmer than the women who had received round implants.

Safety really is the most important issue, says Dr. Ourian. Of course, a good result and patient satisfaction would be next on the list.

Dr. Ourian has been a pioneer in laser technology and non-invasive aesthetic procedures including Restylane, Juv

North Shore-LIJ Partners With Women on a Mission to Cure Breast Cancer

Manhasset, NY (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

The Manhasset Womens Coalition Against Breast Cancer (MWCABC) on Friday presented a $ 90,000 check to Feinstein Institute for Medical Research investigators Iuliana Shapira, MD and Annette Lee, PhD. The money will go directly to the Breast and Ovarian Specimen Bank, a joint research endeavor of the Feinstein Institute and North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute. Drs. Shapira and Lee established the specimen bank in 2010 to serve as a vital resource for discovering and validating new biomarkers for the early detection of breast and/or ovarian cancer, as well as predicting the disease course and outcomes, treatment response and risk of relapse.

The generosity of this gift is surpassed only by the love and caring of the thoughtful and foresighted women of the Manhasset Coalition who bestowed it upon us, said Dr. Shapira, MD, a Feinstein investigator who also serves as director of the Cancer Genetics Program at the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute.

With the strong and continued support of important womens groups like the MWCABC, we have the ability to continue our investigations and seek further breakthroughs on the road to curing cancer, said Dr. Lee, a Feinstein geneticist. We plan to make these amazing women not only proud, but part of our continuing scientific endeavors.

The Manhasset Womens Coalition has been a tremendous force in our community, said Kevin Dwyer, senior vice president and chief development officer at North Shore-LIJ. We are absolutely thrilled to have the Coalition on our side as we take ambitious steps forward with our nationally renowned Cancer Institute.

The two investigators initially teamed up to conduct a first-of-its-kind study dedicated to improving the survival rates of women diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer. The MWCABC funding will go to support their investigation of Plasma microRNAs as biomarkers for predicting the benefit of surgery and adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy to treat breast cancer. Preliminary studies from the laboratory suggest that micro RNA, a genetic marker embedded in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), indicates whether an ovarian tumor is benign or malignant, and whether the patient will benefit from chemotherapy after the surgical removal of the tumor. Earlier this year, they were awarded the Alison Conyngham Neisloss Collaborative Women in Science Award, given by the Feinstein Institutes Advancing Women in Science and Medicine (AWSM) organization.

Since their initial project received Institutional Review Board approval in November of 2010, more than 350 women have been enrolled in the breast ovarian cancer tissue bank. Recent published findings identified four main subtypes of breast cancer, one of which has distinct similarities to ovarian cancer. This makes their research efforts to simultaneously study both breast and ovarian cancer even more important in breast cancer research.

The Manhasset Womens Coalition Against Breast Cancer (MWCABC) is an all-volunteer, non-profit charitable organization founded in 1997 to unite the women of Manhasset, Long Island in the fight against breast cancer. MWCABC has been supporting North Shore-LIJ since 2004, providing over $ 300,000 in philanthropic support for North Shore-LIJs breast cancer research and supportive care programs, in addition to palliative care. The $ 90,000 gift is the Coalitions largest gift to date. This gift includes $ 10,000 contributed by the Junior Coalition of MWCABC, high-school aged members who run their own fund raising efforts for financial support of North Shore-LIJ programs, as well as share holiday treats each year with families on the North Shore University Hospital Palliative Care Unit. The MWCABC is also a significant referral source within the Long Island community, with strong efforts in this area by board member Dorothy Forte, who plays a key role in the Coalitions ongoing activities.

About The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research: Headquartered in Manhasset, NY, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is home to international scientific leaders in many areas including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimers disease, psychiatric disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sepsis, human genetics, pulmonary hypertension, leukemia, neuroimmunology, and medicinal chemistry.

Breast Reconstruction Options Abound, Says Thousand Oaks Surgeon

Thousand Oaks, California (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

The phased surgical approach taken by actress Angelina Jolie for her preventive double mastectomy is not the only option available to women undergoing breast reconstruction surgery, according to Thousand Oaks plastic surgeon Dr. Kouros Azar (http://www.azarplasticsurgery.com).

Jolie's recent announcement about her double mastectomy drew attention to genetic testing that can gauge a woman's risk of cancer. But it also highlighted the decisions women face about breast reconstruction.

"Ms. Jolie's choice of tissue expanders for her breast reconstruction is appropriate for many women," Dr. Azar says. "But for other women undergoing a preventive mastectomy or those diagnosed with breast cancer, my Thousand Oaks practice offers reconstruction options that include having implants inserted at the time of the mastectomy or using a patient's own tissue to reconstruct the breast mound."

What's important, says Dr. Azar, is that women know they have choices, including the choice not to reconstruct their breasts.

"Many women choose immediate breast reconstruction with implants," Dr. Azar says. "This eliminates the need for additional surgery and provides the psychological benefit of minimizing the deformity after mastectomy." But, either because of personal preference or body type, he says, immediate reconstruction isn't always the best choice.

Using tissue expanders does involve additional plastic surgery, says the Thousand Oaks surgeon. By performing the reconstruction in stages using expanders, new skin is actually created in much the same way as during a pregnancy. In the case of breast reconstruction, implants are inserted into the extra space. Jolie's surgeon at the Pink Lotus Breast Center provides a detailed look at the multiple phases involved with the celebrity's care (http://www.pinklotusbreastcenter.com/breast-cancer-101/2013/05/a-patients-journey-angelina-jolie/).

Other women choose what's known as autologous flap reconstruction, which means the surgeon uses the patient's own tissue taken from a donor site in another area of the body, such as the abdomen, the latissimus dorsi, or the buttocks. An innovative procedure, called DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforators) flap reconstruction, involves complicated microsurgery, Dr. Azar says, but it is becoming a preferred method because it preserves the strength of abdominal muscles, requires a shorter recovery, and provides a slimmer appearance.

No matter what a woman ultimately decides, Dr. Azar says, her choice should be based on her preference after discussing all of her options with her physician.

Dr. Kouros Azar (http://www.azarplasticsurgery.com) is a board-certified plastic surgeon serving Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Agoura Hills, and Westlake Village. After earning his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, Dr. Azar completed a general surgery residency at University of Arizona and a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Utah. He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery. He performs a variety of reconstructive and cosmetic surgical techniques for the face, breast, and body, and he offers a wide range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

Dr Sam Speron Reveals Thoughts on Breast Cancer & Angelina Jolie

Park Ridge, IL (PRWEB) June 11, 2013

Dr Sam Speron reveals thoughts on Breast cancer & Angelina Jolie.

Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer and is the second most prominent cause of death for women all over the world. Breast cancer has been a major health concern for women all over the world. This disease is not exclusive to women; men can also develop breast cancer as well. In society today, magazine stands have been lined with covers publicizing stories about breast cancer. The whole month of October has become a seasonal reminder and dedication to breast cancer awareness.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that begins in the cells of the breasts. This is a collection of cancer cells that can grow into surrounding tissues and can spread to distant areas of the body. There are multiple factors that can be a risk for breast cancer such as inherited genetic mutations, family history of breast cancer, age and specifically for women, menstrual history, breast feeding history and late pregnancy. Studies continue to discover lifestyle factors and habits that alter breast cancer risk for instance obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption.

Gratefully in the age that we currently live in, there are sufficient screening technologies including digital mammograms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that aid in the detection of breast cancer before it starts to cause symptoms.

It is important to have the knowledge of this disease as well as who is at greatest risk. Having these facts can help prevent the premature loss of those who love and care for us, notes Dr. Sam Speron, breast plastic surgeon and consumer advocate. Breast cancer reconstruction should be offered to most women undergoing breast cancer surgery although not all of them are candidates for reconstruction.

The one reason breast cancer gets more than its fair share of attention in the media today is due to the countless efforts of breast cancer activists and celebrities who themselves have announced publicly their own fight and struggle for the disease. One of the more known celebrities, Angelina Jolie, recently announced that she made a choice to have a double mastectomy due to a genetic screening test. This test determined that she is carrying a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which increases her risks of developing ovarian or breast cancer. Jolies doctors explained that due to this genetic mutation, they estimated that she had a 50% risk of ovarian cancer and 87% risk of breast cancer. Mastectomy is surgery to remove the entire breast. All of the breast tissue is removed, sometimes along with other nearby tissues. In Angelina Jolies case, this procedure will help lower her risk to less than 5%.

Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy," Jolie stated to the media. Her aunt and mother had passed away after being diagnosed with breast cancer due to this same genetic mutation. Angelina Jolie was impelled by a desire to encourage other women to get genetically tested and raise awareness of the options available to those at risk.

Being one of the most admired celebrities in the world, publicizing this news may have encouraged other women to stand up and do the same, added board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Speron. Breast reconstruction can help restore the look and feel of the breast after a mastectomy. Although a reconstructed breast may not match the look or feel of your natural breast, it can help you feel more comfortable about the way you look.

Dr. Speron is the founder and medical director of Dr. Speron Plastic Surgery. He is board certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery and an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).

Dr. Robert Langdon of Guilford, CT, to Appear on WTNHs Connecticut Style to Discuss Scar-Less Breast Reduction Procedure

Guilford, CT (PRWEB) November 21, 2012

Robert Langdon, MD, Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and Dermatologist and Medical Director at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery will be on WTNHs Connecticut Style news program to discuss his scar-less breast reduction procedure.

Dr. Langdon states, Patients who have long suffered from overly large breasts are delighted to learn that they can significantly reduce breast size without surgery. I perform this liposuction procedure with only tiny incisions that do not even require stitches.

According to Dr. Langdon, the Scar-Less breast reduction is done in the office, with only a local anesthetic, and patients are back to their normal routines within days.

Because larger breasts are mostly composed of fat tissue, a modified liposuction technique can result in significant size reduction. Tumescent anesthetic solution is used to thoroughly (and painlessly) numb the breasts. Then, Dr. Langdon performs liposuction using tiny micro-cannulas throughout the breast. The micro-cannulas are blunt, tube-like instruments that Dr. Langdon gently moves back and forth within the numbed area. Recovery is rapid after the procedure. The small skin incisions heal with little or no scarring, in contrast to the significant scars that result from conventional breast reduction surgery. The breasts contract after the procedure, resulting in a lift effect.

I look forward to discussing this procedure on WTNH in December. This is a great way to spread the word that breast reduction need not involve invasive surgery and a long recovery period, said Dr. Langdon.

About Robert Langdon, MD:

Dr. Langdon, a graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School, completed his residency in dermatology at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Langdon has published numerous scientific articles in medical journals as well as book chapters in surgical textbooks.

Utah Plastic Surgeon Dr. Scott Haupt of Utah Cosmetic Surgery Introduces New Teardrop Breast Augmentation Procedure

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) May 13, 2013

Dr. Scott Haupt, one of Utah's most experienced plastic surgeons, recently introduced the new FDA-approved "teardrop" breast augmentation procedure at his Murray, Utah practice. These new silicone-fill breast implants approved by the FDA in early 2013 provide breast augmentation for patients seeking a more natural look than traditional round implants. Dr. Haupt is one of the first surgeons in Utah to offer this procedure.

Also commonly referred to as "gummy bear" silicone implants, the structure of the silicone gel gives the implant a better shape. Contrary to round silicone breast implants, the teardrop shape still allows for augmentation of the breast without altering its natural shape.

"Not all of our patients looking for breast enlargement want it to be obvious by the shape of their breasts that they've undergone an augmentation procedure," said Dr. Scott Haupt of Utah Cosmetic Surgery. "The teardrop shape of these newly-approved silicone implants allows our patients to get the figure they want without sacrificing shape."

While the teardrop implants provide a more anatomical shape, it requires a skilled surgeon to place them correctly. Proper placement requires the implant to be texturize so that it adheres in the breast tissue pocket accurately and doesn't shift or rotate.

"Our new teardrop breast implants are a great option for many women, but they may not be a good option for certain builds or body types," said Dr. Haupt. "It's important that those interested in these implants consult with a skilled surgeon first to get their expert option on the type of implants that will best compliment their look."

Dr. Haupt has performed more than 7,000 surgical procedures during his experience as a Utah plastic surgeon. He has been featured in Forbes and Newsweek magazines as one of the finest plastic surgeons in the country. He completed his plastic surgery residency at the University Of Utah School Of Medicine and frequently consults with other physicians and nurse practitioners on difficult cases.

In addition to breast augmentation procedures, Dr. Haupt also specializes in body reconstruction, facial plastic surgery, liposuction, and other cosmetic procedures. His staff at Utah Cosmetic Surgery also provides laser hair removal and skin care services.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi's Views about Celebrities having Breast Augmentation Surgery

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 8 April 2013

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi from the London Medical and Aesthetic clinic has been asked to comment on the recent photos of the curvy Kate Upton, a voluptuous 19-year-old supermodel who has recently posted in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue as well modelling for Victorias Secret.As featured on http://famousplastic.net/2013/03/05/kate-upton-before-and-after-photoshop/

Although Kate Uptons breasts are of a larger size, Dr Ayham Al Ayoubi, an expert cosmetic and laser surgeon believes that Kate Upton does not have breast implants. Kate Uptons naturally large D-cup breasts move in a very natural way and are formed in a natural shape, although they are large, Kate Upton is a curvy girl and her breasts are in good proportion the rest of her body.

http://famousplastic.net/2013/03/05/kate-upton-before-and-after-photoshop/

Like many other plastic surgeons would agree, although Kate Upton looks like she doesn't currently have breast implants, they would not rule out recommending breast improvement procedures in the future.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi states I would not rule out Kate Upton having breast surgery in the future. Currently they are very full, however in the future with age; breasts naturally drop or lose shape due to weight loss, pregnancy, gravity and other factors.

Woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can lead women to have breast augmentation procedures.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi comments on Kate Uptons appearance, Kate Upton is a very attractive young female with a well-proportioned curvy figure as many other surgeons would agree the need for any surgical improvement now is certainly not necessary.

Breast enhancement surgery, also known as Breast Augmentation has become increasingly popular in the UK as well as abroad. Women of all shapes and sizes choose to have the procedure because it increases a womans breast size and creates a full and even breast shape. Women who wish for a bigger cup size, after pregnancy, breast feeding or even weight loss may consider breast augmentation or if they are a woman with naturally smaller breasts, or reduced size breast after childbirth or weight loss.

Many celebrities have both denied and admitted to having breast augmentation surgery.

Week by week, the media covers stories of celebrities having breast surgery. Some celebrities flatly deny the procedure and some avoid the speculation completely blaming the change in their diet or lifestyle.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi , a leading cosmetic surgeon comments that he has operated on and seen a lot of celebrities at his Harley Street clinic in central London but he never allows the media to know about celebrity or non-celebrity patients surgery.

Some celebrities such as Katie Price are certainly in no denial about having their breasts enlarged, and she is often pictured in the press with low cut tops on.

Katie Price (also known as Jordan), British actress/model/singer and author has acquired fame not only through her career but also through her various breast implants.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2098116/Katie-Price-Newsnight-Jordan-discusses-breast-implants-Jeremy-Paxman.html

At the young age of 18 she had her first breast enhancement surgery increasing from a 32B to 32D. The reason she wanted bigger boobs was because when modelling, she did not feel as feminine and curvy as the other models.

Dr Ayham Al- Ayoubi comments, breast enlargement can make women feel much more feminine and gives women curves that she may not naturally have.In a lot of cases breast augmentation surgery can change a womans life, as they are given a new boost of self-confidence giving them more choice of clothes to wear and general happiness in their body shape.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi comments: As well as improving breast size, breast surgery procedures can help women who have had their breasts enhanced and reconstructed after breast cancer surgery due to cancer.

In the media recently Michelle Heaton from Liberty X, who had re-constructive surgery in November after having both of her breasts removed. Michelle Heaton bravely chose to have a double mastectomy after discovering she was a carrier of the BRCA2 gene, meaning she was at very high risk of developing breast cancer and 30-40 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer. The singer inherited the gene from her father, who himself discovered he was a carrier of BRCA2 two years ago

http://www.thestar.ie/star/michelle-heatons-tears-of-relief-tv-stars-breast-surgery-a-success/

Michelle Heaton appeared on the Lorraine show on ITV to discuss her surgery. Michelle Heaton admitted she was initially scared to look at her reconstructed chest following the operation. Michelle Heaton has now reconstructed to her original 34C cup size.

http://www.thestar.ie/star/michelle-heatons-tears-of-relief-tv-stars-breast-surgery-a-success/

She said: 'I was really apprehensive looking at them for the first time and when I first saw them, I burst into tears of relief because they're normal. They're my boobies.

'I was a bit spaced out after the operation. Over the two or three days afterwards I wasn't aware of what was going on. It was a week of hell.

'But if then, somebody would have told me how good I would feel now, I wouldn't have believed it. It really is all worth it.'

Michelle Heaton also discussed the moment she saw her reconstructed breasts for the first time, saying: "They are great I was really apprehensive looking at them for the first time. I had built up an image in my mind. When I first saw them I just burst into tears with relief and realised they are normal.

Dr Ayham Al Ayoubi comments on Michelle Heatons re-constructive breasts surgery. Michelle was one of the unfortunate women to have her breasts remove due to cancer. However, the re-constructive surgery which was performed on Michelle has given fantastic results. This has had a hugely positive effect on her life and she has regained her confidence

Reactions to the loss of a breast vary and not all women wish to have breast reconstruction. Every womans needs are different, and their outcome expectations are important to understand, Dr Ayham Al- Ayoubi says, Reconstruction surgery can certainly have a positive effect on a womans life after cancer, improving self-image, self-confidence and quality of life

Dr Ayham Al- Ayoubi believes that whatever the reason for the breast improvement may be, enlarging a naturally small breast, Restoring breast volume which is lost following pregnancy, as a result of breast-feeding or due to weight loss or achieve better symmetry when breasts are disproportionate in shape and size.

Dr Ayham Al -Ayoubi, a leading laser surgeon has now introduced a revolutionary Laser breast lifting technique, that doesn't involve knive. Instead, it uses a combination of laser and liposuction to lift and tighten the breasts.

The Scar-free Breast Lift is a pioneering technique using Smartlipo MPX or Smartlipo Triplex for breast enhancement, suitable for breast sizes A-D. This can lift a reported 3 to 4 cm lift, with minimal pain bruising or swelling, less downtime and quick and efficient results.

This could be an alternative option for a lot of young female patients in the future should they decide to have a breast lift procedure, and wish not to have major breast lift surgery which sometimes could be associated with post-surgical scars.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) June 08, 2013

Carrying excess body weight has been linked to an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer with growing evidence suggesting that obesity is also associated with poor prognosis in women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The Cancer Network reports that women who are overweight or obese at the time of breast cancer diagnosis are at increased risk of cancer recurrence and death compared with leaner women, with some evidence suggesting that women who gain weight after breast cancer diagnosis may also be at increased risk of poor outcomes. Diet Doc has refined their prescription hCG diets to tailor treatment around each patients individual needs, providing fast weight loss, helping to possibly now help prevent breast cancer.

Just as a diet high in fat poses a more significant risk of developing heart disease and stroke, this same high fat diet may also increase the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly breast cancer, the number one cause of cancer death for American women. Fat tissues produce estrogen, insulin, and growth factors. Those that are obese or overweight have an increased production of these hormones, creating an increased risk factor for cancer development. Diet Docs hCG diet plans are proven successful in providing patients with a modern, safe, and effective method to lose weight fast, avoiding certain weight related health risks, including breast cancer. Diet Doc has refined their prescription hCG diet plans to provide better results, and tailor it more closely to individual factors that may put someone at risk for weight related diseases.

Patients who make the commitment to lose weight safely and naturally can reduce their risk of developing breast cancer due to carrying excess fat. Each patient will complete a simple, yet detailed, medical evaluation and doctor consult, completed easily from the patients own home. Based on this information, certified nutritionists will create diet plans specific to each patient's personal and medical needs while assuring that the diet plan fits comfortably into the patient's lifestyle. Decades of scientific research has determined that these nutrient rich diet plans, combined with the administration of regulated doses of prescription hCG, work in collaboration to produce healthy and fast weight loss by signaling the brain to target, release and burn years of stored and trapped fat.

By modernizing the original 1950s hCG diet plans to allow an increased calorie consumption, developing individually tailored nutrition plans as well as providing only pure prescription hCG, over 97% of Diet Doc clients are reducing their risk of developing breast cancer by safely losing excess weight without side effects. Because Diet Doc has enhanced prescription hCG with energy-boosting Vitamin B12, dieters are losing weight without experiencing the typical loss of energy associated with most diets. Prescription hCG is made available in sublingual tablets, oral hCG drops and injectable hCG solution. For numerous reasons, including convenience and the hormone's ability to promote faster weight loss while preventing between meal cravings and muscle loss during dieting, prescription hCG painless injectable solution continues to be the most preferred method of delivery among patients.

Experts agree that losing a mere 10-20 pounds can make a significant improvement in one's general overall health and can help to reduce the risk of developing life-threatening breast cancer. Diet Doc urges those who are ready to make the commitment to a life free of burdensome, unhealthy and unwanted excess fat to make the call today.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announces Improved Diet Plans Individually Designed to Help Men Avoid the Development of Excess Breast Tissue

Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 11, 2013

With aging, the rate at which men burn calories declines and they tend to lose muscle, with the muscle being replaced by fatty tissue. This excess fat puts men at a greater risk for a myriad of weight-related conditions, including the development of a condition called gynecomastia or, simply put, man breasts. Considered a negative feature, man breasts may cause psychological and social effects leading to embarrassment, fear and shame, causing men to avoid activities that may involve removing the shirt. Actually, the development of breasts in men is quite common, with up to 30% of adult males suffering from this embarrassing condition. Although the development of man breasts can be the result of a hormonal imbalance, the most common cause is obesity and excess weight resulting in excess fat being deposited in the chest area.
