That extra skin along the pec fold can be removed so the scar hides in the shadow of the fold. The nipple should be grafted to the appropriate position. It'll look great.

ANSWER
These procedures are commonly performed together. It's a generally safe combination as long as you're healthy and the surgeon/anesthesiologist are comfortable providing the procedures.

ANSWER
One of the major benefits of gynecomastia surgery is how easy it is to perform the operation through small scars that are barely noticeable. This example is not the gold standard for incisions in simple gynecomastia surgery. Scars should be around the areola, in the armpit, and/or the side if the chest in the line of the pec fold.

ANSWER
If you're planning a significant change in body fat in a short period of time, you should wait to have surgery. Your results will be better and you'll enjoy them longer if you have surgery when your weight is stable.

ANSWER
It's hard to say without seeing a photo, but fat grafting can be done in the office under just local anesthesia. If you don't have enough body fat or don't want a procedure, Renuva is an option. It's an injectable fat scaffold from donor cadavers that stimulates you body's only fat to grow into it. It'll give a more subtle result and would probably be more costly than in-office small volume fat grafting, but is an option.

ANSWER
It looks like your chest is still recovering from surgery and the added trauma of a hematoma evacuation procedure. I would give the skin about 6 months to tighten up and smooth out before looking into any revision procedure. Hopefully, you wont need one at all!
Asked By: Sleeve_Sisters
ANSWER
The short answer is "yes" but it depends on a number of individual factors, including BMI, amount of fat vs. skin, location of fat amenable to liposuction, and overall tissue quality, In some circumstances, I recommend staging the procedure, so that liposuction is done as a first stage procedure, followed by thigh lift about 3 months later. Photos or, even better, an in-person or exam, can help determine the optimal treatment plan.

ANSWER
I have taken care of numerous patients on suboxone without any issues. My practice is to communicate directly with the prescribing provider to ensure that all three of us have a concrete post-op pain management plan that keeps the patient on track. I think you're right to call around to ask different doctors about their comfort level. Good luck!
Asked By: N33_
ANSWER
This is a common problem and frustration. That's extra skin, so more liposuction will not help. My preferred treatment is an upper body lift/bra line back lift. When done correctly, the operation leaves a scar across the back, but is strategically placed behind the bra strap. It's a very powerful operation and is a surprisingly easy recovery with low complication rate.
Asked By: Firstkitty
ANSWER
You're a great candidate for abdominoplasty, but your result will be significantly limited if you don't have the muscle tightened. You have significant muscle laxity, especially in the lower abdomen, which give you that lower abdominal prominence that bothers you. Prior liposuction won't be a problem. It doesn't look like you have significant contour irregularities from prior lipo so I expect your result to be smooth and flat.
