Now a Less Invasive Surgical Option for Gynecomastia Patients, Presented by Dr. Miguel Delgado

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2011

The "Light Pull-Through Procedure" for reduction of the gynecomastia breast, has been perfected and more defined. It is less invasive and can be done with an endoscope. A lateral incision of 2 to 3 millimeters is made near the areola, and then either tumescent or ultrasonic liposuction is done to remove fat. Then through the same small incision a ?pickle fork? type instrument is inserted to cut the connecting fibers above and below, freeing up the glandular tissue which is then gently pulled through the small incision.

The advantages to this ?light pull-through? procedure are; no drains are necessary, recovery time is reduced and since the incision is at the edge of the areola the resulting scar will fade to almost being invisible.

Many men have the misconception that liposuction alone can remove their ?man boobs?. This is actually true for men who have ?pseudo-gynecomastia ?which is a condition caused by fat alone. For men with true gynecomastia however, there is a combination of fat and actual breast tissue. Breast tissue cannot be removed by liposuction as the tissue is too dense to come through the cannula and must be removed surgically. Unfortunately many surgeons who are not experienced with gynecomastia surgery attempt to reduce the male breast with liposuction alone. The result can be that the breast tissue is more prominent without the fat around it. Once liposuction has been done there will be remaining scar tissue that makes corrective surgery for removal of the breast tissue much more complicated. Dr. Delgado states, ?25% to 30% of my gynecomastia patients are being seen for corrective surgery after disappointing results from liposuction alone performed at another facility.?

Not all men are candidates for the ?light pull-through procedure?, results are best for men with mild to moderate gynecomastia. The best way to find out who can benefit from this procedure is to be seen by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in gynecomastia.

Miguel A. Delgado, Jr., MD holds the two credentials most coveted by plastic surgeons practicing in the United States, namely certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgery. He has his own fully accredited surgery center and two offices located in the Bay Area, San Francisco and Marin. View his vast amount of before and after pictures of his San Francisco gynecomastia patients.

For Breast Augmentation, Albany, NY Women Now Have 3D Imaging Option

Albany, NY (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

At DeLuca Plastic Surgery, Albany, NY, women considering breast augmentation are now enjoying the benefits of a brand new 3D photo simulation technology called e-Stetix? 3D Mammo. By providing 3D Mammo, Dr. William F. DeLuca, Jr., plastic surgeon, Albany, NY, now has the ability to show women interested in breast enlargement surgery, not only what they can expect to look like after surgery but also the effect that different types of silicone and saline implants will have on the shape and size of their breasts.

Is e-Stetix 3D Mammo another plastic surgery simulator based on basic photo morphing?

No ? e-Stetix employs the most advanced 3D simulation technology for plastic and aesthetic surgery, which takes into account the physical properties of the body. Developed in collaboration with the world?s most renowned university research centers in biomechanics, surgical technology, 3D and information technology, e-Stetix generates extremely precise and realistic 3D simulations and replicates the reactions of the different parts of the body (skin elasticity, muscles, fat, etc.) in the context of a surgical procedure. With the e-Stetix? 3D Mammo photo simulator for breast augmentation, Albany, NY women can now obtain an accurate representation of what they will look after surgery because the 3D reconstruction technology is based on purely scientific predictions that can simulate the insertion of implants in a realistic and accurate manner.

To generate a 3D simulation of a patient?s ?before? body, Dr. DeLuca takes several required measurements and 3 digital photographs. Next, Dr. DeLuca selects several different implant styles and sizes based on the goals of the patient and what his 26 years of breast surgery experience informs him will look the best, positions them onto the digital ?before body. In less than 30 seconds, a remarkably accurate three-dimensional ?after? image is generated that can be rotated to show what the patient will look like from almost any angle.

Both the surgeon and patient will be able to see closely approximate surgical results and visualize, like never before, the best possible implant size, shape, and location. Given DeLuca?s reputation as being a first rate breast augmentation specialist and one of the region?s most sought after plastic surgeons, it will be interesting to see how much of an impact the addition of photo simulation technology has on patients interested in the procedure.

The e-Stetix? 3D simulation technology currently only works for breast augmentation, but may be available in the future for other procedures, including breast lift, liposuction, and rhinoplasty.

A picture that?s worth a thousand words

For the first time, both physician and patient can take a glimpse into the future. During the consultation, the patient can see and select from the many options and possible results. With e-Stetix?, the patient can now clearly communicate her wishes and questions, using her own simulated body, and the physician can help the patient see, in real time, a far more realistic view of the expected results.

Using the 3D imaging can be very helpful to certain patients, according to Dr. DeLuca. ?At our practice, we operate under the mantra that ?every breast is different.? This means that each patient needs to have her procedure tailored to her own body shape and build. The technology takes some of the guesswork out of this popular surgery, allowing me to more clearly demonstrate effect different implant profiles, shapes and sizes will have on the final outcome to each patient who comes through our doors.?

?I have found that more women who are considering surgery,? continued Dr. DeLuca, ?choose to follow through after seeing what they will look like. These are not guesses, but rather real images of the patient?s own body and measurements. The technology is impressively accurate, and I am confident in the benefits it will provide my patients.?

"If this innovative and insightful tool helps even a small percentage of my patients walk out of the office feeling more informed and confident about their options for breast surgery, I'll consider this investment well worth the cost." And statistics show that Dr. DeLuca is right. The technology for this imaging system debuted in Switzerland, and a study between November of 2007 and February of 2010 showed that 90% of women preferred a surgeon using the 3D simulator over a surgeon using standard methods to approximate their post-surgical breast augmentation results (i.e. bra & sizers).

For more information on breast augmentation, Albany, NY plastic surgeon Dr. William F. DeLuca, invites you to visit his website at http://www.delucaplasticsurgery.com or contact his office at 518-724-2444 or DeLuca Plastic Surgery, 711 Troy Schenectady Rd, Suite 123, Latham, NY 12110.

Dr. DeLuca is a board certified plastic surgeon with over 26 years of experience who specializes in breast augmentation. Albany, NY women who visit his cosmetic clinic cite his technical expertise, portfolio of results and commitment to 24/7 care both before and after surgery as the primary reasons for choosing him as their surgeon. With the introduction of 3D photo simulation technology into his breast enhancement consultation experience, Dr. DeLuca hopes that showing his patients what they will look like before and after their plastic surgery will help them make the most informed and ideal decision possible.

Dr. DeLuca was board certified by both the American Board of Surgery in 1983 and the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1987.

Study Shows Women Battling Breast Cancer Now Have New Option for Reconstruction at the Same Time as Mastectomy

(PRWEB) August 02, 2011

Cassileth One-Stage Breast Reconstruction offers customized, natural looking breasts immediately after one surgery.

For the first time, women can now wake up from a double mastectomy with customized breasts with virtually no scars. This new procedure was reviewed in a recently released study entitled ?One-Stage Immediate Breast Reconstruction With Implants? published in the "Annals of Plastic Surgery."

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. More women are opting for mastectomy with reconstruction. In 2010 more than 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in America. Last year, 93,083 reconstructive surgeries were performed. That?s an eight percent rise from the 78,832 in 2000. The majority of these women are choosing reconstruction with implants.

There was a time when women had to wake up from the mastectomy enduring the trauma of having no breasts. Then in ?90s a two-stage option of tissue-expander reconstruction became available. Today immediate implants at the time of reconstruction have become an option with limited use. The current immediate implant option offers women up to a 200-gram breast size reconstruction. So if a woman is a 750- gram breast size, she is forced to go smaller with the current one-stage procedure. The alternative is the painful process of the two-stage tissue expander procedure that involves expanding the skin with a temporary implant placed during the mastectomy followed by the additional fear and anxiety that a woman endures for the second surgery to place the permanent implant ?until now.

Dr. Lisa Cassileth, a reconstruction surgeon specialist in Beverly Hills, uses acellular dermal matrix (healthy donor tissue) to build an internal customized bra that can hold a silicone implant of any size. Dr. Cassileth sculpts the two-dimensional sheets of tissue into a three-dimensional bra-like shape that mirror the natural shape of the breast and then she tailors the tissue to the woman?s body-type, size and measurements. This eliminates the flat bump-like appearance that characterizes the current immediate implant approach. During the mastectomy, she works side-by-side with the oncologist to reconstruct the breasts and make tiny incisions. Post surgery, she conceals the incisions with a nipple reconstruction to erase any reminders of the mastectomy.

Dr. Cassileth conducted the study on 43 women and a total of 78 breasts. According to the study based on the judgments of patients and independent observers, this one-stage immediate reconstruction is superior in aesthetic outcome. Dr. Cassileth?s patients are even trading their older models, for newer, bigger, perkier breasts that they report are better looking than their own. This new option minimizes recovery time, costs, discomfort and psychological adjustment that accompany the current two-stage tissue expander procedure.

Survey studies report that an important factor in the choice for mastectomy is fear of recurrence. Studies also reported that the choice for conservation of the breast was due to a concern about the cosmetic outcome. This latest One-Stage Immediate Breast Reconstruction provides women for the first time with a solution to prevent breast cancer recurrence without sacrificing the aesthetics.

We have two patients who could really help tell this story. Alice Crisci is 31. She is young, frank and honest in sharing her story about dealing with the repercussions of breast cancer and her new set of breasts. Mary Beth De Lucia is 52 and shares her story of finding Dr. Cassileth to do the one-stage immediate reconstruction instead of having to endure the two-stage expanders to achieve her natural breast-size after the mastectomy.????
