It is rather embarrassing as I can not go out except for work. It has started to effect me mentally as well as socially. This should not be construed as medical advice. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Such growth can be very embarrassing for the individual.
Treatment depends on the problem and the extent of the deformity.
Small issues may be handled with a short incision and removal of the tissue or liposuction. Larger contour deformities may need to have the redundant skin addressed. Some problems are better managed with weight control - not surgery. Cost and risk depend on what needs to be done. I hope this information proves of some use.
