Question

For about 2 to 3 years during high school i was overweight with about 100 lbs being my max weight as now i have had a stable weight at about 190 lbs and am about 511 height. I would like some clear advice on my breats if i need liposuction and if i do get lipo will my breats go down to a normal size?and judging by my photos if i wouldneed a tummy tuck or lipo or both?as i have stretch marks around my lower abdomen and under my armpit and upper arms. On hotdays my nipples are very puffy.

I suggest weight loss, diet/exercise, weight training and a VASER hi def procedure.  This will contour and shape you.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and congratulations on your weight loss.   I would recommend following a healthy diet and exercise regimen until you reach your desired goal weight. This weight should be one where you are comfortable at, and can maintain, as weight fluctuations will affect your long-term results.  Once at your goal weight see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination of your skin tissue.  You look to be a good candidate for liposuction of your chest and abdomen, and should still be able to obtain an improvement in your waist as your stretch marks are minimal.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your photos.  From what I can see, you are an excellent candidate for liposuction of your chest and removal of excess glandular tissue behind the nipples.  You can also expect a good result from liposuction of your abdomen and love handles.  Be sure to follow your surgeon's instructions for aftercare so that you get the best result.  Skin laxity in your abdominal area may be a factor to consider in your decision-making process, but I do not feel that a tummy tuck is indicated.

Thank you for your question.  Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for liposuction of all the areas you've mentioned.  Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck!

Your best answer can be given after an examination to see how much and where your fat is located. If most of the breast fullness is fat, you should get a good results with liposuction. However, if most of it is breast tissue, you may need a mastectomy. Liposuction can remove the outer layer of fat from your abdomen, but nothing internal around your organs. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your options.
