I'm seriously looking into overhauling my body, at 19 I weighed over 305 pounds. Currently I am 57, 6', 200. I am confused as to what procedure(s) to ask for when requesting a consultation. Gynecomastia for sure, but would I go for liposuction, tummy tuck, lower body lift or panniculectomy? Thank you in advance or your guidance.

Answer: Gynecomastia Surgery and... Thank you for your photos. You would certainly benefit from liposuction and glandular excision of the chest -- possibly with skin excision. It is difficult to tell how much fat you have around the abdomen that is amenable to liposuction. If the fat is stored above the muscles this can easily be removed with liposuction. However, if the fat is below the muscles (intra-abdominal fat) then liposuction will have minimal benefit. The only way to tell is through physical exam. Be sure to see someone who has experience in male plastic surgery and has a good reputation so you get the proper procedure.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear GaryInId, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
