“I am a 21 years old male. I used to be a bit overweight as a child/teenager. I have been following a health diet with an exercise program for over 3 years now and changed my body composition greatly. My BMI is around 23 and my fat percentage is around 11 (measured by calipers). I have some localized fat around my abdomen area, especially mid parts, which doesn’t really respond to anything I’ve tried. What is the best option for me? Thanks.”, asked a RealSelf user.
“Dear Alex, while you do have some loose skin after your weight loss (congrats) I would not recommend an abdominoplasty for you. I have had great results combining VASER (ultrasonic) and laser (SmartLipo) in patients like yourself. Men in general have more fibrous tissue which ultrasonic liposuction works best for. Laser liposuction will then held with skin tightening and of course sculpting the area.”, explained Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S.
