Male Tummy Tuck

For many men, no matter how healthy they eat or how often they exercise, a flat, toned stomach can be elusive. For men who find that their bodies refuse to budge around their midsection, despite all their efforts, Dr. Randall Barnett and our team here at Alpine Plastic Surgery, offer male tummy tuck surgery. Men may choose to have a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and fat and tighten loose abdominal muscles for a tighter, firmer looking midsection. If you have lost a considerable amount of weight or have experienced body changes due to aging, then male tummy tuck surgery can provide you with a firmer, more muscular, more athletic and masculine looking abdomen.

What is a Male Tummy Tuck?

Male tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region, and tightens the abdominal muscles. An incision is made low on the abdomen and stretched or damaged tissue is removed, and abdominal wall is tightened to give a flat, toned look. It is not a weight-loss surgery, but it can improve body contouring drastically.

You may be an excellent candidate for male tummy tuck surgery if you:

Have a significant amount of loose or sagging skin on your abdomen that is not responsive to diet and exercise
Have lost a large amount of weight and have excess abdominal tissue as a result
Are at or near your ideal body weight and can maintain a stable weight
Are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that may affect your healing process
Have realistic expectations and are motivated to improve the contour of your abdomen for greater confidence and comfort

Male Tummy Tuck FAQ’s

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

You may be a good candidate if you have loose or sagging abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or stubborn fat after significant weight loss or aging—and you’re in overall good health.

What can I expect in terms of results?

Tummy tuck surgery can lead to a smoother, firmer belly with better muscle tone and a more defined waist. Results are typically permanent when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Will there be a scar?

Yes, however it is left in a low position on the abdomen and can be easily covered by underwear or a swimsuit. The scar will typically fade with time.

How long is the recovery?

Most men will return to light activity in 2 weeks and more strenuous activity in 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and tightness may continue for a few weeks as the body heals.

Can a tummy tuck address feeling weak or separated abdominal muscles?

Yes. Tightening of the underlying muscles is part of the procedure. This can give the core strength back and improve posture. This is especially helpful if the muscle separation is due to weight gain or weight loss.
