MALE TUMMY TUCK

About Tummy Tuck for Men

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons,
more than 4,800 men got a tummy tuck in the USA in 2017 – a whopping 113% increase from the year 2000.
A lot of men want to get rid of excess belly fat and skin, after all.

How different is tummy tuck for men and women?

To be honest, there isn’t much difference.

Tummy tuck for men and women have the same purpose – to make the midsection look flatter by removing excess skin and fats and toning the muscles. The procedure is also the same depending on the type of tummy tuck.

But most of the time, men have less stretching of abdominal muscles compared to women. Women who had undergone pregnancy often have damaged or stretched abdominal muscles, so they need to undergo tummy tuck surgeries paired with muscle repair to achieve the curvy figure they want.

On the other hand, men get tummy tucks after excessive weight loss. They simply want to remove hanging skin from their bellies. The emphasis is on a firm and flat abdomen.

What are the benefits of a male tummy tuck?

For men, the abdomen is one of the most important parts of the male physique. That’s why a lot of men work hard to get six-pack abs that they can flaunt whenever they want.

But those who lost 60 pounds or more are often left with excess sagging skin in the abdomen. Loose skin not only looks unpleasant, but it can also cause difficulties like skin chafing and infection. It can even hinder you from engaging in physical activities and exercises.

With an abdominoplasty, you can achieve a firmer abdomen by eliminating any excess skin from the midsection. It will not only help you get rid of skin problems and activity limitations, but it can also improve your confidence and self-esteem.

Are you a good candidate for a male tummy tuck?

The biggest requirement for being an abdominoplasty candidate is the presence of hanging skin in your abdominal area. A tummy tuck is used to tighten and sculpt the abdomen, and that can be done by removing excess skin and fatty deposits.

As with any other plastic surgery, you should be in an overall good state of health before the procedure. You should also have realistic expectations of the outcome.

You should also maintain a stable weight within your ideal range for at least six months to make sure that you achieve lasting results. Remember that this procedure isn’t a substitute for weight loss, but a corrective procedure for contouring your body after drastic weight loss.

How is a tummy tuck for men done?

It depends on what kind of abdominoplasty you’re going to get. For men, the usual types are full, extended, and mini tummy tuck.

After you receive general anesthesia, your plastic surgeon begins the surgery by first doing liposuction if you need to remove stubborn fatty deposits. A cannula is inserted into small incisions in your abdomen, and it uses high power suction to remove fat cells from your abdomen for a more defined contour and male physique.

For a full tummy tuck, your surgeon creates a low hip-to-hip incision to tighten your abdominal muscles. Finally, the excess skin is removed before suturing your incisions together.

How do you recover from a male tummy tuck?

After your surgery, you’ll most likely have drains inserted to remove excess fluid in the abdomen. You will also be asked to wear a compression garment around the abdomen to help control swelling.

Though you’re not yet supposed to do any strenuous activities, you’re encouraged to start walking the evening after your surgery. Walking helps enhance circulation and prevents blood clots from forming.

If there are no complications, you can usually go back to work within a week or two after your male tummy tuck. At four weeks, you can start engaging in light exercises. At six weeks, you can go back to your normal exercise routine, but be sure to check in with your plastic surgeon first.

How much does a tummy tuck for men cost?

The average cost of tummy tuck in 2017 is around $5,992, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

However, it still varies based on some factors, like anesthesia, location, facility, medications, post-op garments, and the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon.

Because it is touted as a cosmetic procedure, a male tummy tuck is not covered by most insurance companies. Still, you don’t have to break the bank to get one, as many plastic surgeons offer affordable financing options to help you manage the cost of surgery.
