Tummy Tuck for Men

Improving abdominals for men

Like many men, you might be working hard to get healthy by eating good diet and exercising on a regular basis. Generally, though, when men age, they find difficulty in achieving the type of body they desire, particularly the shape of the abdomen. It is interesting to note that even avid marathon runners sometimes develop fat deposits with age for the simple reason that the bodies store fat differently when we age.  Men tend to gain weight and become soften around the abdomen while women tend to gain more in the hips and thighs as we age.  Thus, many men come to Queen City Plastic Surgery for help with the spare tire, love handles or pooch.

A lipoabdominoplasty or tummy tuck is an excellent way to address the problem of excess fat as well as skin in your abdominal region. The name lipoabdominoplasty comes by combining abdominoplasty (the elimination and tightening of abdomen excess skin) and liposuction. A tummy tuck is a technique of losing weight; in fact it is meant to reduce fat deposits that stay in place despite exercise and a healthy diet.  If you aren’t sure that you want the commitment of the tummy tuck, BodyTite is non-invasive option that may provide results you desire.

Tummy Tuck Procedure

Prior to surgery, you will have an appointment with Dr. Haque to discuss your concerns and goals and to ask any questions you have. He will help you determine if a tummy tuck is necessary to achieve your aesthetic goals, or if liposuction alone will be sufficient.

If you make a decision that a tummy tuck is the right option for you, your surgery will be planned. During your procedure, we will first take away the excess fat from your abdomen and love handles with the help of tumescent liposuction.

Following liposuction, your upper and lower abdomen will be tightened and contoured.

How to Prepare for Surgery

We typically recommend you stop smoking at least 3 weeks prior to undergoing a tummy tuck. This is because smoking limits blood flow throughout the body, making it more difficult for your body to recover.
