Liposuction for the love handles and pecs?

Congratulations on such a significant weight loss. I can certainly understand your frustration with your "problematic areas."

CoolSculpting is a great way to nonsurgically reduce the pecs and lovehandles

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
