Loose Skin and Male Breast Reduction?

The male breast is composed of glandular tissue and fatty tissue. An excess in either type of tissue can cause the chest to take on the look of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia can affect #men of all different body types. There are different types of #gynecomastia.Several common factors can cause gynecomastia including excessive levels of #estrogen, natural #hormone changes, use of recreational drugs or alcohol, medications and their associated side effects, and, various health conditions. Also, there are different types of #gynecomastia.According to official statistics, 36% of adult young men and 57% of older #adult men in the United States have this medical condition in one of the four grades. About 200,000 to 3 million cases of #gynecomastia are being reported every single year. So if you have #breast #enlargement and you feel you're an exception, please understand that 1 in 3 young adult #men and 1 in 2 older adult men are just like you and have breast enlargement. There are three types of surgical treatment options available that treat gynecomastia. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal candidate. Weight, and more specifically body mass index (BMI), need to be considered when deciding.Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is highly suggested in order to determine if you are a surgery candidate and what treatments are best for you.

  Based on your husband's history and your description, I think that your husband is likely dealing with redundancy of skin as well as residual adipose tissue. Liposuction surgery alone will likely leave him with significant skin contour irregularities and/or excess skin especially when you lean over (as in the photograph).My best suggestion: seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes, starting at the same "starting point", that he will be pleased with.

First of all, congrats on the weight loss!  I'd wait 6 months from weight loss and remove skin along with the gland.  The trade off is a scar.  There are different approaches to do this type of surgery and much of it depends on how much skin there is and how elastic the properties of the skin are.  Generally, in massive weight loss patients the skin has poor elastic properties and won't contract. However, I'd have to see the skin.  Because, it would be nice to excise the gland through a well camouflaged incision around the areola if this could be done.
