Some of them offer professional support and some give a platform for communicating with other men who suffer from Gynecomastia and are looking for gynecomastia treatments and cures.

Adolescent Gynecomastia
Technorati Tags: gynecomastia,gynecomastia surgery,adolescent gynecomastia,gynecomastia in adolescents,male breast reduction,enlarged male breast
There are many different opinions about plastic surgery in teens. Some people will have strong opinions against it, saying that in an evolving stage of a young person he or she should not commit them selves to big physical changes.
In some cases it’s I agree with these people, but in others I think that plastic surgery can bring big improvement in the teenager’s life and can help building self confidant in a way that psychological treatment could never do.
Take for example these few male in their adolescent stage that are suffering from this condition called – Gynecomastia. They probably suffer from low self esteem and problems in socializing. It’s unfortunately well know that kids can be very cruel and the scars caused from jokes and treatment at this stage in life can follow that teenager for the rest of his life.
If your teenager kid has Gynecomastia, (enlarged male breasts), and he comes to you with a request to help him solve this, think about the advantages and disadvantages of your decision all the way through. Put your self at his place and then decide whether you are going to tell him to wait with Gynecomastia surgery for when he is older or that you are willing to take him for counseling and see from there.

Male Breast Reduction
In 2007, the top fourth plastic surgery procedure was male breast reduction, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In addition, in 2006 the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that close to 14,000 male youths between the ages of 13 and 19 underwent male breast reduction surgery. Furthermore, this age group accounted for over 50% of all male breast reduction procedures and was equivalent to the total number of procedures performed in 2004.
Perhaps, this can be attributed to male youths being more familiar and comfortable with plastic surgery than their ancestors. In addition, peer pressure that creates inhabitance in daily activities, embarrassment in social situations, or avoidance of sports can be other reasons why male breast reduction is so commonly requested among young men.
The Gynecomastia condition may be related to one of a variety of medical conditions, including: teen obesity, inhibited testosterone production, glandular overgrowth, steroid abuse, kidney dysfunction, testicular tumors, or liver disease.
Despite the popularity for male breast reduction among young men, the screening process to identify candidacy for male breast reduction procedures in adolescents is stringent. Plastic surgeons will evaluate total medical history, may recommend additional testing such as endocrine testing, examine for maturity and the true desire from the boy to have the procedure. Some cases of Gynecomastia resolve themselves on their own by adulthood.

Gynecomastia awerness
Cosmetic surgery is more popular today among men than it was a few years ago. Before reality TV shows, such as Nip/Tuck most information regarding cosmetic surgery was found only in women’s magazines. Print articles have increased exposure in multiple print media outlets and plastic surgery is frequently discussed on various radio and television talk shows.
With today’s shows, and the media in general, there is a changing perception in society regarding cosmetic surgery in general and men having procedures performed in particular. This is especially true amongst men who need gynecomastia surgery to correct their enlarged chests. Prior to increased media exposure, many men did not realize there was something they could do about their gynecomastia condition.
In the past, if someone had a significant problem like gynecomastia, they likely would have never considered surgery, however, today’s men are much more likely to do so. The Internet has also been an effective informational tool. Men are searching for articles and information regarding gynecomastia on the web.
They are educating themselves on procedures, costs, and doctors. Even boys as young as 12-13 have researched gynecomastia on the Internet, as most cases start in early puberty. They do their homework online, and are up-to-speed on their condition and options. Men who did not believe that anything could be done about their gynecomastia condition have gone online and learned about their options.
Many doctors are experiencing a "significant" increase in the number of calls searching for information on the procedure.

Anesthesia in the Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia is a procedure that can easily be performed under local anesthesia in male breast reduction cases. Some men do like the added benefits of sedation along with local anesthesia for male breast reduction. In fact, it is very rare to have general anesthesia for gynecomastia surgery. The type of anesthesia that will be recommended for gynecomastia depends upon a variety of factors, including:
• Patient’s desire for the type of anesthesia to be used for gynecomastia.
• Medical conditions that might present a higher risk.
• Patient comfort, particularly in the case of adolescents whereby local anesthesia and sedation may be the better choice should they become restless during the male breast reduction procedure.
• The severity of the gynecomastia condition and level of surgery required to produce optimal results. When the case is severe, it may be more likely to have local anesthesia and sedation.
• Patient’s desire for the type of anesthesia to be used for gynecomastia.
• Medical conditions that might present a higher risk.
