Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is this gynecomastia or just fat? I’m 20 years old.
Diagnosis of gynecomastia
Aug 6, 2020
When teens put on weight, some of the fat goes to the chest. Also, virtually all men have some degree of breast tissue on their chest. Through a complicated process, obesity can produce an excess of breast tissue on the chest as well. When you lose weight, only the fat tissue will diminish — the breast tissue remains. That is why you still have man boobs even though you have lost the weight. There is no way to remove this excess tissue other than surgery, which is quick, straight forward…
I’m a 21 YO male considering gynecomastia and I need some advice. Which procedure will result in
Candidate for gynecomastia surgery?
Nov 3, 2019
You appear to be an excellent candidate for gynecomastia surgery:  moderate amount of tissue to be removed and youth.  You would probably require liposuction and direct gland excision (performed around the edge of the areola).  Would strongly suggest you consult with an expert in gynecomastia surgery for the best and most predictable results.  If there is no one available locally, then consider traveling for this expertise.Suggest you peruse my website, which is specifically dedicated to g…
Will I need a gynecomastia revision surgery?
Candidate for gynecomastia revision?
Nov 3, 2019
Your initial results look pretty good.  In some cases, additional spontaneous skin tightening can take up to a year.  It occurs very slowly, so be patient.  You age is also a significant plus.And finally, try losing some weight (at least 10-15 lbs or more) and pumping iron to build up the pecs.  Larger, bulkier pecs may aid in taking up any slack of the skin.Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
Can my gynecomastia surgery where too much tissue was removed 3 years ago from the lower chest ar
Revision surgery for contour deformity in an older gentleman
Nov 3, 2019
Thanks for your photos.  You appear to be middle aged and your skin probably has some innate laxity, all of which makes any revision surgery more challenging.  You do appear to have a crater deformity involving tissues below the nipples, rather than involving the nipples themselves.  The “good news” is that you appear to have residual fat above the nipples as well as lower chest and upper abdomen.  There is also excess fat on the lateral chest.  These adjacent areas of residual fat can be…
With breast aug, can you make my boobs completely gone? I’m FtM and want them gone.
FTM Top Surgery
Jan 26, 2019
All of my FTM patients request complete removal of their breasts and a flat, masculine chest.  It is often termed “top surgery.”  This is absolutely NOT breast augmentation, which is actually breast enlargement — and is used for my MTF patients.Basically, depending upon confirmation by physical examination, if you are a B cup or smaller, then the operation can be performed with minimal scars.  Larger breasts would require a double incision type of procedure — and there are some vari…
Is a revision possible? I am so unhappy with this
Revising a prior tummy tuck
Jan 26, 2019
Yes, a revision is certainly possible.  It appears that you have residual fat and excess skin.  In order to achieve the results you desire, more than likely additional liposuction will be required both from the front and the back.  And then skin excision would be needed to tighten the skin and that, too, would have to be performed with extension around to the back.  Best to discuss these ideas with your surgeon.Good luck!Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
What procedures will remove excess skin and fat on neck? 24 year old female
Treatment of neck fat in a young woman
Dec 13, 2018
You would be an excellent candidate for liposuction of the neck, which will contour the area under the chin and then extend under the jawbone.  This is a fairly quick and very safe operation and the results are apparent fairly quickly.  You absolutely do not need any skin tightening of any kind — you skin will conform to the new neck contours after surgery and it should tighten as well.Good luck!Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
Male thinking of doing upper eyelid surgery, will it change my eye shape?
Upper eyelid surgery for a male
Dec 13, 2018
You did not provide a photo so I can only generalize.  Upper eyelid surgery on a male should always be done conservatively.  Men usually have lower eyebrows which contribute to apparent upper eyelid excess skin.  The incision is hidden in the natural fold crease of the upper eyelids.  It heals quickly.  You should be able to return to sedentary work within one week — perhaps less.  You should not need any camouflage makeup at any time.  If done properly, the shape of your eyes should not ch…
Would I be a candidate for male breast reduction?
Am I a candidate for gynecomastia surgery?
Oct 7, 2018
Absolutely yes.  You have a fair amount of excess tissue on your chest which can be removed — but it requires surgery.  Another plus with surgery is that your skin will tighten (just can’t say how much without a physical exam) and the areolas will decrease in diameter.Be sure to look for a plastic surgeon who is expert in gynecomastia surgery.For further information, check out my website, which is exclusively devoted to gynecomastia (see caption below).Good luck!Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FA…
My breasts are becoming larger and looking feminine, do I have gynecomastia?
Diagnosis of gynecomastia
Oct 7, 2018
From the one photo, you do appear to have larger than normal breasts.  Gynecomastia is defined as any excess tissue on a male chest — and by that definition, you do have gynecomastia.You do sound conflicted, though.  Are you concerned with the presence of the breasts and want to remove the excess tissue — or are you enjoying them and want to make them larger?  To be blunt, gynecomastia surgery can remove the excess tissue.  On the other hand, there is no way one can make one’s breasts grow…
I have extra skin on my eyelids that make them extremely hooded, what options are available to me
Removal of excess upper eyelid skin
Oct 6, 2018
You would be an excellent candidate for an upper eyelid tuck (blepharoplasty).  Examination should also be directed to the position of your eyebrows.  If they are low, they may be contributing to the extra upper eyelid skin.  Sometimes raising the brows can diminish most of the excess eyelid skin.  On the other hand, if the brows are in a satisfactory position, then the excess eyelid skin can be removed directly.  The resultant scar heals extremely well, often-times no makeup is needed to c…
Do I need revision 3 months after gynecomastia surgery?
Need for revision after gynecomastia surgery
Oct 6, 2018
You appear to have a crater deformity involving the areola as well as probable residual excess tissue in the lower pole of your breast.  At three months, I doubt if things will improve.  However, you should wait until a minimum of six months has elapsed before considering revision surgery.You should return to your surgeon, if possible, for an opinion.  But you should also consult with at least two other board certified plastic surgeons who have considerable expertise in gynecomastia su…
Would I be a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck candidacy
Oct 6, 2018
Yes, you would be an excellent candidate for a tummy tuck.  You do have definition of your rectus muscles, so you are not obese and would probably not require liposuction.  However, you have lots of loose, wrinkled skin which extends above the umbilicus.  A classic abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — in the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon — should provide you with a flat abdomen and smooth skin.  The trade-off, as you know, will be a longitudinal scar in the lower most portions of t…
Otoplasty problem: my ear was not pinned the same and the sutures broke through the skin, what sh
Problems after otoplasty
Sep 3, 2018
Most methods utilize permanent sutures to hold the ear cartilage in place.  If these sutures have broken through the skin, they may provide an entry point for infection.  In essence, one should consider removing them.  It would be best, if possible, to return to your original surgeon.  Finding another surgeon in the UK may be difficult.Good luck!Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
If I get a breast augmentation and I have my nipples pierced, can I keep them in for surgery or d
Removal of nipple rings prior to breast surgery
Aug 25, 2018
It would be advisable to remove the nipple rings at least a few days prior to surgery so that the holes of the piercings have closed.  You can re-pierce the nipples some weeks in the future if you desire.Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
