Male Tummy Tuck
Every male wants to have a well-toned and flat abdomen but some may not be able to achieve this with routine diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, as well as tighten the abdominal muscles. This gives a smoother, contoured abdominal profile. At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, we understand that each patient is unique, that’s why Dr. Hadaegh customizes each procedure to best achieve your cosmetic goal.

Am I a Good Candidate for Male Tummy Tuck?
Men of many ages who want to eliminate loose, hanging skin and/or minor to moderate amounts of excess fat in the abdominal area can be ideal candidates for a male tummy tuck. In addition to being in good general health, candidates should be at or near their ideal body weight and able to maintain it without significant weight fluctuations. Considerable weight gain or loss after male tummy tuck surgery can compromise results. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anoush Hadaegh can evaluate your aesthetic concerns and determine if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck during your initial consultation. He will also provide before-and-after photos of his previous tummy tuck patients that you can view to better understand what can be accomplished with this procedure.
Some men choose to have other procedures in combination with their tummy tuck. Common procedures to combine with a tummy tuck include liposuction. Combination procedures, when performed, take full advantage of the recovery period and provide a more comprehensive makeover.
Your Male Tummy Tuck Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Hadaegh will answer any of your questions, discuss your goals and concerns, and will present all of your treatment options. Your eligibility for a male tummy tuck will be based on your goals, overall health, medical history, and a thorough physical examination. This examination will also ensure that Dr. Hadaegh can best customize your treatment plan. A comprehensive review of the candidate’s medical history will be done to ensure a clear understanding of any potential contraindications or health considerations related to the tummy tuck procedure.
How to Prepare for Male Tummy Tuck Surgery
Before surgery, you need to have a consultation with Dr. Hadaegh. During your Male Tummy Tuck Surgery consultation with Dr. Hadaegh, he will ask you about your medical history and any other surgeries or procedures you may have had. It is important to tell him about any medications you take as well. This includes NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, and any other blood-thinning medications, as these can increase the risk of bleeding. In the days leading up to your surgery, Dr. Hadaegh may ask you to stop consuming certain medications, along with tobacco and alcohol. Follow his advice carefully to ensure your safety and set yourself up for a smooth recovery.
Before your surgery, you should arrange for family, a friend, or another trusted individual to transport you to and from the hospital.
The Procedure
When it comes to obtaining distinct abdominal contours, a male tummy tuck procedure is ideal. It is designed to address the special aesthetic issues that men encounter. Even strict diet and exercise programs fail to produce the sculpted, toned abdomen that many men crave.
Dr. Hadaegh’s male tummy tuck surgery removes extra skin, removes fat, and tightens the abdominal muscles for a flatter, more sculpted stomach.
During a male tummy tuck operation, Dr. Hadaegh will make an incision from hipbone to hipbone while the patient is under general anesthesia. Another incision may also be made around the belly button.
Extra fatty tissues and skin can then be removed. After being rejoined and tightened, the abdominal muscles are sutured into place. The development of enhanced abdominal definition is aided by this muscle tightening.
The surgery is completed once the incisions are closed. A combination of sutures and adhesive bandages are used to close the incisions.
If you have lost weight but can’t seem to get rid of that pooch on your lower belly, then you might only need a mini tummy tuck. This variation on the traditional abdominoplasty is less invasive than a full tummy tuck surgery and only removes the extra tissue below the belly button.
