Male Tummy Tuck

If you are a man, you have probably heard of tummy tucks in conjunction with plastic surgery for women, though you may not have considered the procedure for yourself.  Male tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, are very similar procedurally to tummy tucks performed on women.  However, the outcome of a tummy tuck on some man can be much more remarkable than on many women.

Candidate for Male Tummy Tuck

You may choose to have a tummy tuck if you are in good overall health, follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly, but are unable to rid yourself of bulges in your abdomen and at your waist caused by excess or loose skin and stubborn fat deposits.  The results of a tummy tuck are directly linked to how good of shape you are in prior to the procedure.  You may also choose to have a tummy tuck due to massive weight loss.

Results of Male Tummy Tuck

A man who follows a rigorous exercise schedule may have a tummy tuck and find that removing the extra fat and excess skin reveals the contours of tight, defined abdominal muscles underneath.  A man who is in moderate health will still experience the benefit of tightening the muscles and skin, but his postoperative outcome will not result in dramatically defined abdominal muscles.

The overall results of a tummy tuck will be a flatter abdomen and possibly reduced love handles, but the foundation for your surgery and the steps you take postoperatively will determine how quickly you recover and how much you benefit from the procedure in the long-term.

Recovery from Male Tummy Tuck

Many men who undergo a plastic surgery procedure, such as a tummy tuck, and experience setbacks and complications do so because they did not follow proper procedure for recovery.  Many men try to do too much too quickly and end up injuring themselves or reopening an incision, which results in an even longer healing time.  The general guidelines for recovering from any plastic surgery, including a male tummy tuck, include:

• Take time off work, usually 1-2 weeks
• Get plenty of rest
• Drink lots of water
• Wear your compression garments
• Begin a gentle exercise program when your doctor recommends
• Go slow; do not do too much too soon

Following the above recommendations are a good start, but it is important to follow your plastic surgeon’s directions to the letter.  This will prevent complications and injury and insure that you enjoy the greatest benefit possible from your male tummy tuck.

Has anyone had a tummy tuck in Central texas or around Dallas Texas?

IF you have had one. what was the least or most expensive for the surgery?
its not the fact that I cant lose weight. I can lose weight i lose weight every where else but my stomach. I do 200 crunches a day. I workout 5 times a week. so i do workout. I just cant lose weight in my stomach. Thats why I want the surgery. I just want to know the average cost of it so I know about how much to save.

honestly, with all the horror stories you hear about plastic surgery, i think you should just diet. It could cost you your life; so, why take shortcuts.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – Dallas and Richardson, Texas

Seven Things To Know About A Tummy Tuck

You have discovered that ending your relationship with your love handles is harder than finding help in a box store. Your efforts at diet and exercise have not gotten rid of stubborn fatty bulges, and the loose skin from multiple pregnancies or weight loss simply hangs and hangs. For a smoother and shapelier torso your remaining option is the tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty.

With a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed surgically from the abdominal region and the underlying muscles are tightened to create a slimmer and smoother contour. The procedure also better defines the waist. This plastic surgery procedure is a major surgery and does require some recovery. Like any plastic surgery, not everyone is a candidate, but if you are considering a tummy tuck, consider these facts about this common cosmetic procedure.

Your physical condition determines whether you are a suitable candidate for a tummy tuck. Ideally, men or women who are in reasonably good physical condition make the best candidates for the removal of excess fat bulges and loose skin, especially if they have already tried to get rid of it with diet and exercise.

If your excess skin and fat is mostly concentrated below the belly button, you may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. In this procedure, there is a shorter incision and the belly button is not moved. There is also a shorter recovery from a mini tummy tuck than from a standard or full tummy tuck.

Because a tummy tuck is a surgery that requires a long incision, you will be left with a scar. To reduce this negative consequence, we place the scar in the lower abdomen that will typically be covered by underwear and bathing suits. And, with proper healing, the scar often becomes very faint.

Smoking interferes with recovering from surgery and increases the risks of complications following a tummy tuck. If you are a smoker, you will have to face quitting smoking two weeks before your surgery and during your recovery. Permanently quitting would certainly be best for many reasons.

You should be aware that liposuction may be used in conjunction with your tummy tuck. Indeed, liposuction might be all that is needed to achieve the desired result on your abdomen. Be open to the possibility that you may only need the less invasive procedure of liposuction. When you meet your plastic surgeon, he or she will examine you and help determine the best option.

When you visit your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon for a consultation about a tummy tuck, be candid about your body-shaping goals. Your surgeon will be evaluating the skin and fat deposits of your body along with your expectations about results. Then, your surgeon will discuss with you what can be realistically achieved with a tummy tuck.

The results of a tummy tuck can be very long lasting if you eat sensibly and stay active. If you overeat and gain weight excessively, then your skin and tissues will be forced to stretch out into new bulges.

A final thought for you to consider about tummy tucks is that nothing is standard with plastic surgery. Each body is unique with its own shape and underlying physical attributes. A plastic surgeon must assess each person individually and perform a tummy tuck that is suited to each body. If you get a tummy tuck, it will be the tummy tuck for your body and it will not necessarily look like the tummy of another person who also had the procedure.
