The patient’s story

After losing weight, this man in his early thirties still had chest fullness from a combination of excess fat and glandular breast tissue. He wanted a flatter, more defined chest, so the plan needed to address more than fat alone.

Dr. Darren Smith used VASER-assisted liposuction to reduce fat and BodyTite to address the surrounding skin. The remaining prominent glandular tissue was removed directly through a small incision around the areola. This combination addressed the different tissues contributing to his chest fullness.
