Had excess fatty chest tissue that I wanted removed for cosmetic reasons. The first operation - he did not take enough fat out. The second operation - he again did not take enough fat out. I was very specific that from the areola to the armpit on both sides needed COMPLETE liposuction. The male chest is not the female abdomen and the Tara Reid story does not apply. Upon demanding a third surgery to lipo the areas we agreed upon, he asked for 1500 per area plus surgical fees. He is a smart man but way too business. I imagine he helps middle aged females but leaves males 25 - 38 definitely underwhelmed. Nearly 10 years later I am up for the same surgery with a doctor that isn't trying to squeeze me. Updated on 19 Jan 2016: Like the coin operated vacuum at a gas station, get ready to pay well before you thought you needed to. If you get Lipo with him, I had chest Lipo, he will do the bare minimum in order to turn one procedure into 3 or more. I know. I had two and am having to get a third. If you are a male in need of fatty tissue removed from the chest or armpit area, know this - unless it is all removed, it can come back. Not at the same extent as before but like a weed, cutting the top and leaving the roots doesn't work very well. This Yale educated smoothie will charm you in and will keep you going for another ride. He will claim that he doesn't want to make you look bad and is erring on side of caution but will happily cut you again for more money. I imagine his finances are in disarray...don't be his lump sum. Force him to put what he is going to do in writing use pictures and make sure you have a clear consensus on what he is going to do or get ready to pay again and again. Nearly 10 years later, I have decided to do the surgery to get the complete results and was very careful about the questions I asked. This guy is smoooooth so watch your six.

I have to get a mammogram next week and if all is well the surgery is scheduled for Nov 1. I'm very nervous about the surgery but anxious to have the burden of size I (as in eye) breasts reduced to something more manageable. I've been wanting this done my entire adult life and am just now that I'm in my forties finding the courage to do it. Of course the pain that is getting worse each year is the biggest motivator.
