Dropped 220 lbs in 2.5 years – best options for chest and belly loose skin? (Photos)

Question

Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve gone from 400 lbs down to 177 lbs through diet and walking. I’m a 34-year-old male, 5’10”. Now that I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, I’m left with loose skin on my chest and belly. I’m unsure what the best course of action is to improve their appearance. Would a chest lift or gynecomastia surgery help with my chest? Would a tummy tuck be the right choice for my belly? Should I continue losing weight, or am I at the point where surgery is the most effective way to achieve visible improvement? Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated Thank you,

Congratulations on your accomplishments. once you are at a stable, wait that you can easily maintain.It's time to think about tightening the loose skin.

A lower body lift and a breast lift.
We'll get rid of the excess on overhanging skin of the abdomen.The pubic area and the buttocks and legs.If needed all in one surgery.

This could be combined with a chest lift, which would raise the breast tissue higher tight net and also remove the excess tissue along the side of the chest

In our thigh, surgery might be another area that you wish to address.
If you feel there is excess tissue in that area.

Be patient as two or even three stages of surgery are sometimes necessary to get you looking.Your best.  it took you a while to get here and remember.Rome wasn't built in a day.

Based on the two post of photos, you need possibly two separate surgeries first and extended breast lift axillary lift and then a capital F capital D capital L tummy tuck type result that might be too much surgery in one session. Best of virtual consult with for better understanding, expect fees to range from $20-$40,000. Again, best of virtual consult with.
