Liposuction or Tummy Tuck for male with large frame?

Dear DAL3124, Nothing replaces a physical examination. Based on your photograph and my experience with men of your size, I do NOT believe you should have an abdominoplasty at this time. The goal now is to reduce excess fat along the back/ hips / Love Handle areas and along the anterior abdominal wall.... more

 From the picture it appears that you have moderate skin laxity and subcutaneous fat.  Liposuction will decrease the subcutaneous fat without any significant scar.  It does not remove any skin but the trade off is the scar.  Commonly in men, there is significant contribution from... more

 Based on the picture that you supplied, it looks like you would benefit most from Tummy Tuck with flank liposuction.  If you had liposuction alone, you would probably end up with hanging skin.  The tummy tuck will remove the extra skin, tighten your muscles and give you a nice contour.... more

I think a tummy tuck in someone with  your frame may disappoint you. One, it has a very long scar. Two you will not significantly change your shape. You do not have the loose rectus muscle like women do and you do not have the "pouch" below the belly button like women do. I think you will look... more

You can do both a Tummy tuck and gynecomastia at the same time. You are a little heavy and will end up with the best result if you loose a few pounds before. But you will benefit from both procedures.

From the limited information and image, it appear that you may benefit from liposuction. It is impossible to know for sure if your skin will thighten after the procedure, but you have a good chance. These procedures can be performed at the same time. Being Board certified by the American Board of plastic... more

Hi! I have seen a lot of men with your anatomy.  A good abdominoplasty will give you a flat stomach, and you can do it together with your gynecomastia.  Your weight is not an issue. Liposuction will just leave you with loose skin.  

I often do these procedures combined. If you are healthy, than these surgeries can be done together ander intravenous sedation. I use the VASER ultrasound bodysculpting system. From the limited view on the photo, I believe that your abdominal wall skin will tighten up nicely. I always liposuction the back and... more

With your frame I would think of liposuction first.  The thing to remember is you can always have more done if you'd like and liposuction and abdominoplasty are two different yet complementary procedures. Liposuction may give you the results you want without the down time and long incisions.

First, they both can compliment each other.  But, if you have a lot of loose skin, then I would suggest a tummy tuck.  Still, the liposuction can be performed in areas not undermined during the tummy tuck to compliment the results.
