Gynecomastia, or male breast development, is a common, yet embarrassing, condition for many men. There is oftentimes a social stigma associated with gynecomastia, which limits clothing choices and can cause men to avoid removing their shirts in public. Many men are too embarrassed to seek medical treatment for this condition.

Ironically, male breast reduction surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures for men. In the most common variety of this operation, ultrasound-assisted liposuction is used to remove excessive breast tissue and fat, to provide a flatter, less feminine contour to the chest. In more severe cases, because of significant droopiness to the nipple and areola (pigmented skin around the nipple), incisions need to be made to remove extra skin.

Obviously, the goal with every patient is to provide the best cosmetic results with the least amount of scarring. For that reason, every effort is made to achieve the final result with liposuction and utilization of a compression garment to facilitate postoperative skin shrinking.

Many women experience changes in the appearance of the breasts after massive weight loss, pregnancy, or breast-feeding. Oftentimes, these women will come in for consultation, looking for either a breast lift or placement of breast implants. It is important to realize that breast implants are primarily aimed at increasing lost volume in the breasts, particularly in the upper portion of the breasts, and have very little effect on sagging breast skin and on downward-pointing nipples and areolas.

For patients that do suffer from severe droopiness of the breasts, as well as sagging breast tissue, breast lift (mastopexy) tends to be the best option. Oftentimes women are resistant to hearing this, as they do not want the scars that are associated with the operation.

There are a large variety of incisions that can be utilized for performing a breast lift. In the most limited incision form of breast lift, known as a circumareolar lift or Benelli mastopexy, an incision is made just around the areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple). This operation is useful only for very mild forms of breast droopiness, and is best performed in combination with placement of a breast implant. The reason for this is that be Benelli mastopexy does very little to restore lost volume in the upper portion of the breasts, which is usually seen in association with mild droopiness. For mild forms of droopiness (ptosis), however, the performance of a Benelli mastopexy in combination with breast implants can lead to a very pleasing shape.

The next form of mastopexy is known as a circumvertical, or lollipop mastopexy. In this form of breast lift, an incision is made around the areola, and a vertical incision is made from the areola along the middle portion of the breast to the crease at the bottom of the breast. This is far and away the most common type of incision utilized for mastopexy. This access allows the surgeon to reshape breast tissue, and place a large portion of breast tissue from the bottom portion of the breast into the upper pole of the breast, where breast volume is lacking. It can be utilized for mild to severe forms of breast droopiness. It can be performed in combination with either saline breast implant or silicone breast implant placement, but can also be performed without breast implant placement.

The last form of mastopexy is known as a Wise pattern mastopexy or anchor pattern mastopexy. This involves an incision around the areola, a vertical incision from the areola to the crease at the base of the breast, and an incision along the very base of the breast. This is the traditional type of incision utilized for mastopexy, and is most often reserved for patients that have lost massive amounts of weight, and have a severe amount of extra skin. Like the lollipop mastopexy, it can be performed with or without the placement of breast implants.

Facial injections with Botox and Dysport are becoming increasingly popular with patients because they can be administered in as few as 15 minutes, there is virtually no downtime, and results are apparent within just a few days. So are there significant differences?

To start with, there are more similarities than differences. Both are derivatives of Botulinum Toxin and paralyze muscle to smooth facial wrinkles. The costs are similar between the products.

In some patients, Dysport does last longer than Botox (4-5 months as compared to 3 months). The results often times are apparent more quickly, often times being seen in 24 hours, as opposed to 2-3 days with Botox. Both products work great on the forehead. Dysport injections into the glabella (frown lines) must be performed carefully, as the product diffuses more than Botox and theoretically has a higher risk of causing eyelid ptosis (droopiness).

Despite the downturn in the economy and the nationwide drop in invasive cosmetic surgery procedures, an American Society of Plastic Surgeons survey of physicians found that minimally invasive procedures, such as facial injections of Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse and Dysport, rose 6 percent this year. Not only are patients finding these treatments to be less costly options to surgery, but are utilizing these treatments as an effective way to appear youthful in the work place.

Facial injections can be used to treat marionette lines around the mouth, smooth eyelid wrinkles, treat forehead wrinkles and frown lines, and treat early jowls. Results of treatments with Botox and Dysport generally last from 3-6 months, whereas those with facial fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse can last 9-18 months. These treatments can be performed with minimal to no downtime with results that are visible shortly after the procedure is performed.

Buttock augmentation with fat, or the Brazilian Butt Lift, is being performed with increased frequency. The concept is quite simple; patients undergo liposuction in various locations and the fat that is removed is then re-injected to create a fuller, shapelier buttock.

The most common sites for liposuction include the love handles, inner and outer thighs, abdomen and lower back. The fat that is removed is processed prior to reinjection to remove natural oils and serum. Even with this, the body reabsorbs some of the fat that is injected in the first few weeks after surgery. To compensate for that, if possible, Dr. Jejurikar overinflates the buttocks initially after surgery. To try to minimize the amount of fat reabsorbed, patients are asked to avoid placing any pressure on the buttocks for 10-14 days postoperatively. They are also asked to minimize sitting as much as possible and to pad the buttock while sitting for six weeks thereafter.
