"Man Boob" Surgeries Increasing
Operations to correct oversize breasts, a condition that may afflict as many as 50 percent of British men, are increasing dramatically, according to some observers in Britain - and are likely seeing a big rise in America, as well.
The disorder, known medically as gynaecomastia and referred to colloquially as "man boobs," or "moobs," has no clear cause. But some experts believe it may result from imbalances in hormones such as the female hormone estrogen, which is also present in men. Gynaecomastia typically causes men to have very low self-confidence and self-esteem. They tend to restrict their social lives and dress in ways that disguise their chest area.

Plastic Surgery, the Who and What of It
Ever wonder who's getting plastic surgery? For the most part, it's women. Statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that of the 11.5 million cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures done in 2005, over 90% were preformed on women. In fact, surgical procedures for women showed a modest annual increase of 2%, while they were down 8% for men. People ages 35-50 years are the most likely to have a cosmetic procedure done, accounting for nearly half of procedures, compared with just 4% of people 65 and older.

March 3rd - Health Wrap
If a man has a small, low grade, or not highly aggressive prostate cancer, delaying surgery even for years does not appear to increase the risk of the disease progressing to an incurable form. That's according to a 10-year Johns Hopkins study published in the latest issue of the Journal of the National CancerIinstitute. It found the risk of noncurable prostate cancer, defined as a less than 75 percent chance of remaining disease-free 10 years after surgery, was the same for men receiving immediate surgical treatment and those who waited on average two years before having surgery.

Who are good candidates for a breast augmentation?
By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bust line by one or more bra cup sizes. If you're considering breast augmentation, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure--when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please ask your surgeon if there is anything you don't understand about the procedure.
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon. The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate. (Read more about Who are good candidates for a breast augmentation?)
