If you’ve been prescribed physical therapy with spinal and joints manipulation, you might be wondering why you’re not being sent to a chiropractor. At our clinic, we have access to chiropractors in our facility and you can be seen by one if that’s what you’d like (is this true?), but it’s not necessary if your prescription is for physical therapy manipulations and not chiropractic ones. There is a difference, and we’ll explain that further below.

For now, let’s look at what joint and spinal manipulation therapy are in the context of a physical therapy treatment plan. Overall, these are hands-on therapeutic techniques used to treat back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions throughout the body. Be assured, that spinal manipulation performed by a trained physical therapist is effective and safe.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure for removing excess fat, skin and tissue from large breasts. The procedure has a positive outcome on your body shape by reducing your breast size in relation to your body frame. For most women, the reduction procedure reduces your breast size one or two cup sizes. During the procedure, your surgeon takes special care to maintain your breasts’ functionality and sensitivity.

The surgical procedure aims to reshape your bust, which has a significant impact on your quality of life. If you have excessively large breasts that cause back and neck strain, this surgery is an ideal solution. The mammoplasty procedure can also give you a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem, relieving anxiety you may have about what some call your “big boobs.”

If you’re troubled by the large size or weight of your breasts, visit the team at Rowe Plastic Surgery for this life-changing breast reduction surgery. These board certified cosmetic surgeons offer high-quality breast surgery procedures at their state-of-the-art facilities in Manhattan, Long Island, New Jersey and the Hamptons.

What Are the Types of Breast Reduction Procedures?
Your breast surgeon chooses a breast reduction technique that promises the best results to fit your body size and desires. The most common breast reduction procedures include:

Pedicle method. In this breast reduction technique, the surgeon leaves a pedicle, also called attached tissue graft, with nerves and blood vessels intact, to supply the breast after it’s been reduced in size.
Inferior pedicle method. This is a pedicle breast surgery procedure in which your doctor attaches a tissue graft into the inframammary fold, where the bottom of your breast meets your chest.
Superior pedicle method. In this technique, your surgeon attaches a pedicle in the upper quadrant of your breast, above your areola.
Free nipple graft. This technique in breast reduction surgery means a surgeon removes your nipple completely and replaces it in a new, higher position as a skin graft.
Anchor incision pattern. This type of incision circles your areola’s parameter and then follows a straight line down the middle of your breast to the crease where the breast meets your chest.
Lejour incision pattern. Using this type of incision for breast reduction, your NYC or NJ plastic surgeon gains access to the breast parenchyma, the inner tissue of the breast, for removal. This procedure is popular because it leaves minimal scarring.
When you’re ready to explore breast reduction techniques and outcomes, talk to a top cosmetic surgeon. Your breast surgeon at Rowe Plastic Surgery in New Jersey or New York discusses these techniques with you at your initial consultation before choosing the most appropriate surgical method for you.

What is Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)?
Male breast reduction surgery, also known as gynecomastia surgery or “man boob surgery”, aims to reduce the size of male breasts by removing excess fat and breast tissue. This procedure is often performed on men who have enlarged breasts as a result of hormonal imbalances, obesity, or medication use. It is typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing a return to work and normal activities within a few days.

What Causes Gynecomastia?

The most common causes of breast enlargement in men include:

Lower levels of testosterone
An increase in the hormone estrogen
Such hormonal fluctuations can be normal during different phases of life and can affect infants, children who have just entered puberty, or older men.

Infants might also develop breast enlargement while drinking their mother’s breast milk. Estrogen is present in breast milk. Hence, nursing can lead to a slight increase in estrogen levels in babies.

Besides male sex hormones, boys also produce the female hormone estrogen. When boys enter puberty, they begin to produce more estrogen than they produce androgen. This can lead to gynecomastia. However, in such cases, the condition is typically temporary and goes away as soon as there is a balance between the previously mentioned hormones.

Male sex hormone production in adults begins to decline over several years during andropause. This typically occurs around middle age and can result in hair loss, insomnia, or gynecomastia.

Other factors that may result in gynecomastia include:

Taking certain drugs, such as steroids and amphetamines
Testicular tumor
Hyperthyroidism
Liver failure
Chronic renal failure
Gynecomastia is a common problem. Instead of dealing with the mental distress that comes with men’s gyno, consider making a change and undergoing male breast reduction at Rowe Plastic Surgery. Dr. Rowe is up to date on the most recent gyno surgery techniques and is committed to providing you with a safe, result-driven transformation.

It is composed of 99% water, some chemicals to create the gel, and long protein fibers. As we age the vitreous begins to shrink. The jelly starts to break down and the protein fibers start to aggregate. In most people the vitreous eventually separates from the retina in a process called posterior vitreous detachment.

In some people the vitreous may remain adherent to the central portion of the macula and pulling by the vitreous can cause bad things to happen to the macula. Chronic pulling, or traction, on the macula can cause the macula to become distorted or stretched. In some people the force of the traction exceeds the mechanical strength of the macula and a hole can form.

Macular holes are typically very small – smaller in diameter than a pin. However the macula is very important for sharp vision and even a very small hole can cause important visual problems. The vision is generally decreased and distorted.

The curious aspect of macular holes is that they don’t heal themselves. If someone had their ears pierced, but didn’t wear an earring the hole would close. Only the smallest macular holes can close without surgery and even then the chance is low. The retina is really a type of brain tissue, and brain tissue doesn’t heal well. The steps naturally taken by the body to heal a macular hole can make it get larger over time.

The retina can be likened to film in a camera. It is the light sensitive structure that lines the back of the eye. The part directly in the back of the eye is the macular region. Because of the structure of the macula and the cells that are there, the macula supplies sharp vision and also provides most of the color information being sent back to our brains.

The rest of the retina supplies a lower resolution image that gives us the wide field of view we ordinarily have. This side vision is very important in functioning in the modern world. The retina is not connected to the back of the eye in a firm way. Under some circumstances the retina can pull away from the back of the eye. Since the retina gets much of its oxygen and nutrition from the tissue in the back of the eye, this can lead to significant harm to vision.

TYPES OF RETINAL DETACHMENTS
There are many different ways the retina can detach from the back of the eye. One way is that it can be pulled by force. There is no hole or tear in the retina, just brute force. A second way is the retina can tear and fluid from the middle part of the eye can go under the retina; this method combines pulling with fluid flows to cause the retina to separate from the back of the eye. The third important way is there can be an excessive amount of fluid made under the retina by disease and the rising tide of fluid floats the retina away from the back of the eye.
