Tummy Tuck and Liposuction?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Congratulations on your weight loss. Difficult to say without examining you but I think you are on the right track. Liposuction of the chest will likely be very effective. If however excess breast tissue is also present ( gynecomastia) this is best treated with partial excision of the prominent glandular tissue as well as liposuction surgery of the peripheral chest area. Given your significant weight loss... more
