I have lost over 40kg of weight and in 2013 I had a chest mastectomy to get rid of my man boobs and have loose skin from the weight loss and mastectomy I had done. Is it recommended for a male to have these procedures combined or should I do the chest mastopexy first and wait for it to heal before I have a tummy tuck? Generally speaking with a male tummy tuck is it standard to have the muscles repaired and finally how do I know im choosing the best plastic surgeon for my results? Thanks
Answer: Combined procedures I'd suggest you see a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this type of surgery. Combining procedures often makes sense in the right person, although staging it would be perfectly appropriate. With the tummy tuck, most of the time the muscles are tightened if there is a laxity of the abdominal wall. I would wait for weight to be stable for 6 months before proceeding with surgery to ensure an optimal result.

Answer: Tummy tuck and mastopexy You should speak to a board certified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine whether the two procedures performed at the same time would be safe for you. It is possible to have them done at the same time in healthy patients. It's common to have diastasis recti repair performed during a tummy tuck, but it's not necessary. It would only be performed if you require it. Trust your instinct. Examine their credentials and experience and if you feel comfortable with your surgeon, then they're probably the "best" one.

Answer: Weight loss and surgery in men A tummy tuck is a common procedure for men after massive weight loss. This may include a diastasis repair because of weakness. As for the chest it is quite possible to have them both done at the same time.
