1. What is slack?
What is Slack?

 

Breast hypertension is a condition in which a man's body protrudes like a woman's breasts. It is difficult to diagnose it as a disease. The reason why you need to treat it is mental stress. For example, many of our patients are young adults who are about to join a closed group or who wear tight clothes during the summer months.

 

2. Causes of slackness
What causes slack?
Most of the time, the cause of slackness is not a disease. At the onset of puberty, male hormones come out a little later than female hormones, and some people have a slack. You may also have your testicles removedtake drugs such as marijuana, or gain weight.
3. Treatment of slackness
How is it treated?

Treatment for slackness is divided according to the cause of the occurrence of slack.

 

First of all, if you have a slackness caused by a hormonal problem during puberty, hormone supplementation can help you get better on your own within a year without surgery.

 

Second, in the case of pseudomas, which is caused by the accumulation of breast fatliposuction alone can be sufficiently treated.

 

Lastly, if the mammary gland is stretched, a mastectomy is performed, in which an incision is made around the areola or an incision is made in the armpit to remove part of the mammary gland tissue. You will choose which part of the incision will be made according to the distribution of mammary gland tissue. Men also need to have some mammary glands to maintain a soft breast shape. Therefore, a person with mammary glands gathered around the areola requires an areola incision, but a person with spread mammary gland tissue must remove the mammary gland evenly through the armpit.

 

4. Treatment period for slacks
How long does it take to heal?
Breast augmentation surgery can take as little as 1 hour to as long as 2~3 hours. Even if the mammary gland is removed, it does not interfere with daily life for a long time, so it is possible to recover sufficiently if you rest for 2~5 days after surgery. Instead, it is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise for about two months to fill up the void between the skin, and wearing compression clothing may help.
5. Side effects of breast cancer surgery
Are there any side effects to breast surgery?

If you have the wrong surgery, your breasts can be ruined. As I said, men also need mammary glands to maintain their breast shape. If the mammary glands are excised too much, the chest will fall downward like a crater.

 

In addition, in patients with large mammary glands, the removal of the mammary glands can cause the blood vessels and nerves that come up from the chest to be removed together, causing the nipple to become numb. There is also the possibility of hollow spaces under the muscles, causing blood or ooze or sagging skin.

 

6. Marginal Surgery Insurance
Is breast augery surgery covered by insurance?

Breast surgery is covered by insurance. However, the purpose is to improve essential functions, and only those who fall under Simon's level* level 2 or higher can receive the benefit.

*Simon Grade: A rubric that classifies breast cancer into four grades according to the level of breast development.

 

Here, the purpose of essential functional improvement refers to a surgery that aims to improve the function, not cosmetic surgery, and it is a case where the mammary gland tissue and a little fat around the areola can be shaped to some extent just by removing it. If the rate of liposuction increases, it is considered cosmetic surgery.

 

The Simon Rating is a rubric that categorizes slack into four grades. According to the criteria, those who have more than 2 cm in length of mammary tissue on ultrasound examination can be considered as grade 2.

 

If you meet these conditions, you will have to pay for compression garments, ultrasound examinations, and anesthetics. However, areola reduction, breast lift, and papillary surgery are classified as cosmetic surgery and are not subject to reimbursement.

 

In addition, in the case of actual expenses, it is most accurate to contact the insurance company directly, as it may vary depending on the insurance company and its terms and conditions.

 

7. Slack FAQ: FAQs
I'm curious!
Q. Can breast cancer be caused by breast cancer?

 

Not true. In the first place, when you have breast cancer, the area around the areola will protrude.

 

Most of the cases occur in a symmetrical shape centered on the nipple. On the other hand, breast cancer has the difference that the mass occurs only on one side, centered on the nipple. If there is discharge or blood from these protruding nipples, men should also suspect breast cancer.

Q. Is it possible to treat breast cancer with lipolytic injection?

 

It is almost impossible to obtain a sufficient therapeutic effect from lipolytic injections alone. Lipolytic injections can break down fat, but it is difficult to dissolve the desired amount of fat tissue.

 

Q. Is it possible to have surgery to reduce only the nipple?

 

Yes, there are patients who shrink their nipples when the shape of the nipple is asymmetrical.

 

Surgery to reduce the nipple is more simple than general slackness treatment. But it's more sophisticated because you have to get the nipple symmetrical right. Since the nipple is an involuntary muscle*, it is necessary to kill the sensory nerves to prevent it from standing up. Alternatively, the height should be lowered to prevent the nipples from standing.
