Answer Snippet
Do I have gynecomastia & what are the best treatments?
Do I have gynecomastia?
Apr 27, 2022
Thank you for your question and the photo. It appears that you have some chest asymmetry, and likely some excess tissue. An in-person exam would be needed to determine if you have more fatty development or true breast tissue excess. A surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery can give you a definitive answer. Treatment options depends on the anatomic problem. For some patients, liposuction alone is sufficient. For others, direct excision. For many, a combination of excision…
Does the Ideal implant or silicone implant weigh more?
Ideal implant feel and weight question
Apr 27, 2022
Thank you for your question. Silicone implants, generally speaking volume for volume will weigh more than a structured implant. As far as “feel to the touch” is concerned, my personal experience is that the Ideal Implant is somewhere in between the feel of a traditional saline and a silicone, but more toward the silicone feel. Not quite exactly equivalent, but close.
Will this lumpy scar eventually go away, or is this my final result? 8 months after tummy tuck
Final result 8 months after abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)?
Apr 27, 2022
Thanks for your question and photos. You specifically asked about lumpiness in your scar. It is difficult to see lumpy areas of the scar directly in the photos, but in general your surgeon probably used some dissolving stitches just below the skin surface at your scar site. While most of the stitches likely have dissolved, there may be some pockets of scar from the stitches that you still feel. Sometimes massage or other treatments can help the scar tissue itself. The slight contour…
Stomach skin is already loose – will Liposuction leave me with more loose skin?
Stomach skin is already loose – will Liposuction leave me with more loose skin?
Dec 2, 2021
Thank you for your question and photos. With your stretch marks and loose skin noted just in the photos, substantial improvement from liposuction would be difficult without leaving you with more loose skin. Energy based liposuction techniques such as ultrasonic or laser liposuction can get some skin tightening, but there is a limit to what they can achieve and there is a risk of burns as well. An in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery…
Do I need a TT or can I get away with Lipo 360?
Do I need a TT or can I get away with Lipo 360?
Jun 15, 2021
Thank you for your question and the photos. An in-person consultation is needed with a board certified plastic surgeon to give you a definitive plan, but from your pictures, I suspect that liposuction alone will not give you a flat tummy. Most likely you will need a tummy tuck with liposuction. Good luck.
Can I get a tummy tuck?
Can I get a tummy tuck?
Jun 15, 2021
Thank you for your question and pictures. From what you have posted and what I see from your pictures, it looks like you have some stretch marks, some loose skin, and previously had some liposuction in the area. Unfortunately, this is a complex situation that really requires an in-person exam/evaluation of your tissues to assess the elasticity etc. of your skin. You may benefit from a mini-tuck for your loose skin, you may benefit from floating your belly button with surgery, you may benefit…
Would liposuction also help tighten the skin or will it still be a bit saggy?
Would liposuction also help tighten the skin or will it still be a bit saggy?
Jun 15, 2021
Thanks for your question and photos. From the pictures that you have shown, it is likely that liposuction would actually make your abdominal area look worse. With the extent of loose skin that you have and the apparent stretch marks, the procedure that is likely to get you the best outcome would be a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). I recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to have an in-person exam and evaluation. Good luck.
Do I have gynecomastia as I appear to be developing female looking breasts?
Do I have gynecomastia as I appear to be developing female looking breasts?
Jun 15, 2021
Thank you for your question and pictures. As always, an in-person exam is best to make an exact determination of what is going on. However, from the pictures, it appears that you have more fatty tissue than dense glandular tissue. With that being said, there are still options for treatment to improve the contour of your chest. Depending upon your skin elasticity (again, best determined by in-person exam), you may be a candidate for liposuction only contouring. Look for a board certified…

Jun 15, 2021
Thank you for your question and pictures. As always, an in-person exam is best to make an exact determination of what is going on. However, from the pictures, it appears that you may have some fatty breast tissue in your chest. With that being said, there are options for treatment to improve the contour of your chest. You may either be a candidate for some direct excision of the glandular tissue just below the areola with then liposuction of the surrounding tissue or just liposuction of…

Medication induced gynecomastia
Jun 15, 2021
Thank you for your question. As always, an in-person exam is best to make an exact determination of what is going on. However, from my experience, patients I have treated with similar issues have occasionally had breast tissue grow back. More often than not, the surgery is successful and permanent. That is not a definitive YES/NO, but it is my real world experience (~ 25 years in practice). In the few cases where my patients have had re-growth of breast tissue due to medication, it has only…
Would I be a good mommy make over candidate?
Would a mommy makeover work for me?
Jan 13, 2021
Thank you for your question and submitting photos. With respect to your breast implants, I am not sure why you are interested in a replacement, and I always abide by the adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” From first glance, your implants appear fine and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend replacement unless you are having a problem. From your pictures, I think you would be a good candidate for an abdominoplasty and liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks. I think you would get…
5’2″ down from 209-177. Can I be a candidate for a mommy makeover?
Am I a candidate for a mommy makeover?
Jan 13, 2021
Thank you for your question and submitting photos. Congratulations on your weight loss! It is never easy. From your pictures, I think you would be an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty and breast lift. You may even benefit from a small implant to help give even better shape and fullness to the breasts. In addition, you may benefit from a little liposuction in your sides. These are all details that you should go over with your experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Gynecomastia – What kind of procedure, price range? Age: 35 height: 5’11” weight: 210
What’s the best option with skin laxity?
Jan 4, 2021
Thank you for the question and photos. From what you describe with your skin laxity and previous weight loss, it is likely that you will need some form of skin excision along with removal of tissues. There are a variety of options for the skin removal depending upon your in-person exam. To do this with skin excision will put you in the upper price range of what you find online and it also depends upon where you live. Find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Jan 4, 2021
Thank you for your question and picture. As always, an in-person exam is best to make an exact determination of what is going on. However, from the picture, it appears that you may have some central glandular tissue surrounded by more fatty tissue in the outer parts of your chest. With that being said, there are options for treatment to improve the contour of your chest. I suspect you may be a candidate for some direct excision of the glandular tissue and then liposuction of the surrounding…
