Why Get Breast Contouring After Weight Loss?
For women, after age 20, the fat gradually takes over what used to be glandular matter in the breasts. This can cause the breasts to appear deflated. Deflated and sagging breasts following significant weight loss can be addressed in one of several different ways. For both men and women, losing large amounts of weight can result in saggy breasts. When a person loses weight, the fat tissue in the breasts decreases. The skin stays as large as it was when the person weighed more, but the fat that used to fill up the skin is now gone. The result is often sagging breasts.

Chest Contouring For Men
For men, sometimes liposuction will be all that is necessary. Three to six months after the liposuction, depending on the results, any additional loose skin can be surgically removed. After a few months, the skin sometimes shrinks, making any more plastic surgery unnecessary. An exciting procedure Dr. Slenkovich performs for some men involves removing excess skin from both the breast area and the upper arms (brachioplasty) at the same time. The resulting scar is then confined to the armpit. This is a great option for men who have hair on their chests and don’t want a scar on the chest area.
