35 year old male who has lost around 55lbs - Is a tummy tuck my only option? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you are a good candidate for VASER Hi Def Lipo 360. You do not need a tummy tuck. I would treat your gynecomastia and fat graft the pectoralis major, the gluteal area can be fat grafted to create a more muscular looking male buttock. It is possible, that you might benefit from Renuvion skin tightening of the abdomen. This is determined via an in person examination. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! You can consider options such as liposuction with Renuvion or BodyTite (which can also be combined with liposuction). There are risks of contour irregularities and loose hanging skin so it is best to be evaluated in person to determine if you are a good candidate. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to learn more about the risks versus benefits so you can make an informed decision.

My personal opinion is that secondary skin tightening procedure procedures like Renuvion a.k.a. J plasma or bodytite. Do little to nothing.
In fact, I’ve never had a patient to tell me they thought their skin was tighter after using these devices.
You either live with the body you have or have a tummy tuck.
Personally, I will not recommend implants.
I suggest you try to maximize what you can do on your own first.
Best,
