Because of the sagging skin, it looks like you have a chest.
According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, Joshua Hart (23), who lives in Ohio, USA, lost weight from 194kg to 68kg in a year.
This is thanks to gastrectomy for the highly obese.
As a result, he regained a lot of health, such as escaping from chronic diseases.
But there were unexpected side effects. The weight was drastically reduced, but the skin was still the same, showing a stretch.
In particular, the skin stretched out on the chest area was often misunderstood as a woman. Some people looked at him as if he was a transgender person.
He was displeased, saying, `Even people I've known in the past ask me if I'm taking sex-changing hormones.'
In order to improve excessively stretched skin, he decided to spend $15,000 (about 20 million won) to undergo laser and plastic surgery.
Medical staff explained to him that if he lost 30 to 45 kilograms or more, he should remove about 2 to 10 kilograms of skin.
