Abstract
Male patients following massive weigh loss through diet and exercising suffer from excess of skin, primarily at the abdomen and breast region. Those patients are contented with the progress in losing weight; however they are primarily bothered by the skin laxity and excess of fat at the abdominal wall and breast region and become frustrated by the developing fatty apron and the breast's skin behave identically like in females after weight loss, resulting in breast ptosis with caudal displacement of the IMF

Those patients are contented with the progress in losing weight; they are primarily bothered by the skin laxity and excess of fat at the abdominal wall and breast region and become frustrated by the developing fatty apron and the breast’s skin behave identically like in females after weight loss, resulting in breast ptosis with caudal displacement of the IMF [1]
Abdominoplasty and cosmetic breast surgery are the most common plastic surgical procedures after massive weight loss when performed in one operation, exemplifies this concept [2,3]
The procedure was performed on 60 male patients presenting with pseudogynecomastia with NAC and IMF below
Summary

Those patients are contented with the progress in losing weight; they are primarily bothered by the skin laxity and excess of fat at the abdominal wall and breast region and become frustrated by the developing fatty apron and the breast’s skin behave identically like in females after weight loss, resulting in breast ptosis with caudal displacement of the IMF [1]. Body-contouring surgery for chest and abdominal wall deformities in massive weight loss patient need wise preoperative evaluation and planning
