Asked By: Cool678632
ANSWER
Skin laxity is always part of the equation regarding treatment of gynecomastia. If the elasticity is not adequate, then removal of the loose skin with a free nipple graft will maximize the rejuvenation of your breasts. There will be transverse scars along the border of the inframammary fold. See attached reference for a gentleman who had such a procedure. I hope this helps.

ANSWER
650 ml way to big and will irreversibly distort your breasts and cause problems. I would stick with a reasonable implant based on breast measurements.
Asked By: LoloJako
ANSWER
I think a good round of liposuction will significantly flatten the tummy. There is enough fat there to make it worth while.
Asked By: 2.0meYes
ANSWER
Liposuction of your hips and waist will help that contour issue you are experiencing. It very common to treat the hips and waist after a tummy tuck to complete rejuvenation of the mid-section. You could also target that area of concern if the surgeon is comfortable with that option.

I would recommend liposuction. The contour can be significantly improved and will help with your clothes fitting, etc . . .
Asked By: Tasteful98707
ANSWER
Isolated gland removal is done, but mostly in body builders where there is NO fat. In your case, liposuction of the chest and front bra roll can significantly help the result ALONG with gland removal and advancement of fat flaps. AI is good, but not the surgeon.

ANSWER
I would remove your implants, let your breasts recover and then see where we are. You want to make sure you are planning with purpose so your expectations are met with the least amount of complication.

ANSWER
It can be tricky revising umbilicus after tummy tuck. I think it would be worth an attempt at revision in your case as I think we could minimize visible scarring. The only downside is that it does not completely meet your expectations, but I think worth doing.
Asked By: Dazzling502324
ANSWER
Yes you are a candidate for a skin tuck. I would also suggest umbilical transposition to help the laxity above an around the umbilicus. Skin only, no muscle work. All with local. See attached reference. Thank you!
Asked By: Fierce671092
ANSWER
It can be done. The implants will somewhat lean toward the middle and make the cleavage slightly deeper, but overall acceptable. See attached reference for an example. Thank you.
