I gained around a couple hundred pounds over 5 years and lost it all in the past 3 years. I got diastases recti and some loose skin. I am also taking methadone for a opioid dependence which lowered my testosterone and caused breast tissue in my chest and fupa area. I would like to know if all this can be done by one doctor or is it better to go to specialists in specific fields and do two separate surgeries. I need minor skin tightening and to sow the six pack and remove the breast tissue, fupa.

Answer: A single surgery should be possible. A well trained board certified plastic surgeon should be able to easily handle all the areas you wish to treat at a single operation. You will need to discuss your opioid dependency with your plastic surgeon and primary care doctor so a solid plan is in place for your post operative pain control. Best wishes.
