This is a 24 year old male, 5’9” and 162 pounds who lost forty pounds with diet and exercise. He complained of fullness in the chest area and excess, loose skin of the abdominal area. He was chock full of misinformation that he learned from the Internet. We discussed options, and he elected to treat the gynecomastia / fullness of his chest with liposuction and the excision of dense breast tissue as well as a full abdominoplasty, also called a tummy tuck. The full abdominoplasty (defined as complete fascial/muscle suturing, and removal of excess skin) was recommended because he had loose fascia that made a bulge on his abdomen and his skin laxity was significant because of his large weight change.
He is seen here six months from his procedure. The bulge on the lower abdomen is gone and excess skin has been removed. His gynecomastia is vastly improved. His scars are still red at this time as it takes about two years for them to become more skin colored. He has gained some weight because “life is good,” but I reminded him of the need to watch his weight. Abdominoplasty in men is most common in those who have had large weight reductions. Gynecomastia can be associated with obesity as fatty tissue accumulates in the breast as well as other areas (this is called pseudo gynecomastia).
