Is it rare for men to get fat grafted to their pecs and how important is BMI? (photos)

Question

My dream is to get vaser lipo and fat grafts to my pecs but I'm nervous because not a lot of doctors have done it. Female lipo+ bbl cost about 6-10k but I see quotes of male lipo and chest grafting costing 22k-30k. My BMI is 30 because of muscle, would I have to get that down for surgery? How soon after consultation (ON AVERAGE) do surgeons operate on patients for lipo. Can you get bodytite along side vases lipo? Can I get a good ballpark price quote based on my body?

Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for high definition VASER liposuction with fat grafting to your chest.

The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Picture of fat grafting has not gained popularity because their results tend to not be all that great. Grafted fat can look like diffuse fullness and unlike implants doesn’t create the chiseled defined appearance of highly athletic extremely low BMI patients.

Instead results end up looking a bit like gynecomastia.

VASER has no particular advantage to any other form of Liposuction and I would not choose based on equipment used but rather choose the provider who has the greatest amount of experience and skill.

Well done pectoral implants and very low BMI patience tend to look better than fat transfer in my opinion.

For most men it’s better to skip either of these two options and just hit the gym and keep your weight down down down.

Dear Resourceful,
It is common to do liposculpting and fat transfer with a BMI of 30.
Vaser liposculpting in combination with water assisted lipo and Renuvion j plasma skin tightening would give the look you are working towards.
