Bruce expected Dr Terry Dubrow to help him finally get the chest he's always desired after his drastic weight loss resulted in unsuccessful skin removal surgery

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Bruce gained a lot of weight after being obese his whole life, leaving him with droopy skin. However, a botched weight loss procedure left him with a drooping chest. Dr Terry Dubrow excised excess skin before implanting tissue to reconstruct Bruce's pecs and give him a more muscular chest.

Bruce was left with a deflated chest after four surgeries, gaining and losing weight, and fat transfer. Bruce's chest looked like two saucers filled with water before his operation with Dr. Dubrow. It had sunk. He hid his deformity by wearing shapewear, which made him sad. He definitely still had scars four months after Dr Dubrow's operation that he expected to fade quickly, but he was already pleased with his physique. Now he is aiming to fulfill his dream of becoming a personal trainer with a body he's now proud of.

Who is Bruce on 'Botched' Season 8?

Bruce, from St Petersburg, Florida, had a chest that looked like two empty soup bowls. It almost gave the impression that he had had a mastectomy. In reality, before arriving at the 'Botched' clinic, Bruce had two abdominoplasties and two brachioplasties. He was hoping to get his fifth surgery, from the world's best, Dr Dubrow.

What happened to Bruce on 'Botched' Season 8?

During his consultation, Bruce disclosed that he had undergone weight-loss operations. He said he was overweight as a youngster and weighed approximately 350 pounds at prom. That proved to be a watershed moment in his life, as he began going to the gym on a daily basis.

Bruce had 16 pounds of skin removed after his initial operation. Even though the chest appeared healthier, it nevertheless appeared obese, like feminine breasts.

Six months later, Bruce underwent another operation, which resulted in craters in his chest cavity, giving him a misshapen appearance. A fat transfer was proposed by the doctor. They forced him to regain 10 pounds, but they took it all from his backside. The chest looked slightly more full, but uneven. They had a lumpy texture. They were gone in three to four days.

He was set for a fifth operation, or fat transfer, at which point he gave up and went to Dr Dubrow. Dr Dubrow examined Bruce and found that his fitness regime had made things worse for him.

Dr Dubrow began Bruce's procedure by creating an incision along the bottom half of the chest and elevating a flap of tissue. He then formed a pocket beneath the flap, removed the skin, and drew tissue from his belly into the pocket to fill the concavity. To give Bruce a nice chest shape, Dr Dubrow sewed the tissue into place and tightened the skin around the breast tissue envelope.

Dr Dubrow commented that Bruce's chest looked amazing with his nipples still alive during his day-one check-in. Bruce and Dr Dubrow were both pleased with the outcome.

How much does 'Botched' Dr Terry Dubrow charge for a reverse tummy tuck?

The degree of stretched skin and the amount of extra fat present determine the total cost of a stomach tuck. Dr. Dubrow will assess you during your private appointment to establish your needs and the cost of the treatment.

Dr Dubrow also told The Cheat Sheet, "We do extraordinarily difficult, as you know, high-risk visual plastic surgery, which is more costly in general because the risks are greater. It takes longer, so if you’re looking toward what would normally be charged by revision specialists, I mean some of these procedures could be $90,000 or $100,000 out in the real world."

"Because we’re doing more than one body part, extraordinarily difficult problems, and sometimes we have these synthetic materials," he said, "that have their own individual costs associated with them. So the procedure, revisional surgery of the type we do, would vary between $30,000 to probably $90,000 or $100,000."
