Chest sidewall fat and loose skin. Can liposuction be performed? (Photo)

February 17, 2018
Asked By:John81nc in Washington

Im a 37 yo white male in good health. I plan to have my chest contoured. I have fat covering chest but I am also muscular under it. What bothers me most is the side-sagging fat on each side. Can liposuction be preformed to contour and skin removed (if needed) by cutting it out / lifting via the armpit. Leaving a scar only in armpits? (I'll also be having lipo on stomach, pelvic, flanks, and back by a board certified plastic surgeon, but that's not a concern.) Any advice would be appreciated.
