Male Tummy Tuck

Everything you need to know about the male tummy tuck

An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure for removing excess skin from the abdomen, while also tightening the muscles. This results in a firmer and more defined abdomen. It is often carried out alongside liposuction for an optimum sculpted look.

The main difference between a tummy tuck for men compared with tummy tuck surgery for women, is that it will result in a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Although a male tummy tuck after weight loss works well for removing excess fatty tissue, it is not a substitute for losing weight. It will target specific, stubborn areas of fat that remain on the body, even after diet or vigorous exercise. This overhanging skin can cause men much embarrassment and can affect their self-confidence.

Is a mini tummy tuck for men possible?

There are two main types of male tummy tuck: a full tummy tuck for men and a mini tummy tuck for men. A mini abdominoplasty procedure is performed beneath the belly button. This would be ideal for men that only had loose skin in the lower abdominal area.

The ideal candidate for a mini male tummy tuck would be one with good skin tone and no excess fat above the navel. The mini tummy tuck for men is a less invasive procedure, only requiring an incision in the lower abdomen.

There is almost no change seen in the upper abdomen after a mini tummy tuck surgery, compared to a full tummy tuck where there is considerable improvement to the upper half. So although it is a more complex procedure, the full tummy tuck is more commonly requested for better results.

Can lipo for men and a male tummy tuck be combined?

Men frequently have liposuction performed alongside a tummy tuck to achieve a better contouring effect. By incorporating lipo, this will reduce fat on the waist or ‘love handles’. Choosing liposuction alone, will result in loose, dimpled skin, so patients will need the tummy tuck surgery to remove the excess skin.

In your consultation, Mr Fazel will be able to examine you, and will recommend the best treatment, or combination of treatments, if you are unsure.

MALE TUMMY TUCK FAQS

+ WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MALE TUMMY TUCK SCARRING?

Scarring will be dependent on the amount of tissue being removed. The position of the scar will normally be below the briefs line, so that it will remain concealed beneath underwear. If a vertical or T-scar is needed, this may appear above the normal underwear line. Both scar types left after a male tummy tuck will fade over time, normally changing to a faint silver line.

Mr Fazel is an experienced surgeon, so you can be sure that he will minimise any scarring and you can expect natural results that meet your expectations.

+ IS A MALE TUMMY TUCK WORTH IT?

A full tummy tuck for men is a complex surgery that will take between 1.5 to 3 hours to perform, so it is important to consider this procedure carefully before going ahead. As with any surgery, there are risks of complications or infection. After a tummy tuck, you can expect to feel some discomfort and tightness in the abdomen, but Mr Fazel will use a local anaesthetic to help with any discomfort.

The tummy tuck technique that Mr Fazel carries out will ensure that you are mobile quickly and discharged the following day without a drain. You can expect to be able to drive after 7-10 days, and return to work after a fortnight, but you will need to wear a surgical garment to control the swelling for 6 weeks. After six weeks, you can also return to exercise.

As long as you follow all the after care advice of your surgeon, you will have a good recovery and will have a tighter, flatter tummy as a result.

+ HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO YOU LOSE AFTER AN ABDOMINOPLASTY FOR MEN?

An abdominoplasty for men is not a weight loss surgery. For the best results, you should already be around your ideal body weight. For the best results, you will also need to maintain your ideal weight post surgery.
