Men’s Tummy Tuck

A men’s tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the abdomen while placing a strong emphasis on tightening the abdominal muscles.

Excess skin and fat around the abdominal area can be frustrating, especially if they do not seem to respond to proper diet, exercise, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle. Many people struggling with this issue consider cosmetic procedures to improve the aesthetic of their abdomen, including men who want to achieve a more masculine physique. Whether you have recently undergone a period of significant weight loss or are simply looking to define your midsection, a men’s tummy tuck could help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

About Men’s Tummy Tuck Procedures

A tummy tuck is a very popular surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while often also strengthening abdominal muscles in the process. This type of procedure is especially popular among patients who have recently undergone a period of significant weight loss.

The surgery typically involves an incision around the abdomen and in some cases incorporates the use of liposuction to reduce stubborn fat pockets. While tummy tuck surgery as well as cosmetic procedures in general appeal to a largely female-dominated demographic, tummy tuck procedures have risen substantially in popularity among men in recent years.

This allows male patients to achieve a more sculpted, masculine torso that inspires confidence.

Ideal Candidates

Several factors play into whether or not someone is an ideal candidate for tummy tuck procedures. For the most part, candidates for a male tummy tuck procedure from Dr. Davoudi’s office are men who are in overall good health and do not smoke or use tobacco or nicotine or are willing to quit for this procedure. Most candidates are men who are seeking cosmetic procedures because of the excess skin that has resulted from recently undergoing a period of noticeable weight loss. Some candidates are also men who are simply looking for a more defined and athletic-appearing abdominal area. Whether or not you are an eligible candidate for a men’s tummy tuck procedure will be determined by Dr. Davoudi during a consultation at his office.

Personal Consultation

If you are interested in exploring the many benefits that procedures such as a men’s tummy tuck can offer, the first step is to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Davoudi. This personal consultation will serve as a way for Dr. Davoudi to gain an understanding of you, your history, and your overall goals when it comes to body contouring procedures. Because many men who seek tummy tuck procedures are relatively new to the world of cosmetic procedures, this personal consultation is a perfect time to ask any questions or discuss any concerns you might have.

After getting to know you and obtaining a grasp of your medical history and current health status, Dr. Davoudi will create a personalized treatment plan that is custom-tailored to you and your goals. This treatment plan will go over the specific details of the procedures he recommends as well as any steps you might be required to take during the preparation and recovery processes of the procedure. Your treatment plan might also include recommendations for any additional treatments that Dr. Davoudi feels could aid in helping you achieve your goals.

Preparation

Dr. Davoudi will outline any necessary steps you need to take to prepare for your procedure. The preparation process will likely differ for each individual based on a multitude of factors. Patients will likely be advised to refrain from the usage of nicotine, blood thinners, and potentially certain other medications that are known to disrupt regular blood flow in advance of the procedure. Patients will likely be advised to make arrangements for travel home from the procedure as well as ensure they have someone to care for them during the initial recovery phase.

Procedure

Men’s tummy tuck procedures are similar to traditional tummy tuck procedures but typically place a strong emphasis on tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess fat by utilizing liposuction. Each procedure will look different for every individual, but generally, tummy tuck procedures last anywhere between three to six hours and are performed under the usage of general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

Once the anesthesia process is complete, Dr. Davoudi will get to work by making an incision around the abdomen. He will work to remove excess skin as well as suction out fat from stubborn fat pockets. From there, he will spend a healthy amount of time working on tightening the abdominal muscles to create a more contoured look.

Recovery

Tummy tuck procedures can be life-changing for many individuals, but patients should still expect a gradual recovery process. Immediately following the procedure, patients can expect to see swelling around the area of treatment which will slowly subside over the following days. Patients will likely be able to return to basic day-to-day activities within a week or two of the procedure, but patients will likely have to refrain from intense physical activity for up to six weeks following the procedure. Dr. Davoudi will provide instructions for when it is appropriate to return to engaging in certain activities as well as provide any other necessary postoperative instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

Your progress will be monitored in the following weeks during multiple follow-up appointments with Dr. Davoudi. Dr. Davoudi and his staff will be available to answer any questions you might have during the recovery process and are here for your well-being.

Results

With any given surgical procedure, results can never be guaranteed meaning patients should come into this process with realistic expectations about what they can achieve with tummy tuck procedures. Additionally, patients should be aware that not adhering to a healthy diet and exercise practices following the procedure might eventually negate the results that they see. With this established, Dr. Davoudi and the team at the Atlantic Center for Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery are among the most trusted people in the world of cosmetic surgery; Dr. Davoudi has a track record of producing attractive results for his patients and is confident he can do the same for you.

Assuming the procedure is successful, patients can expect to see some results immediately in the form of a flatter abdomen containing less excess skin and fat. The majority of results will be noticed in the following weeks as the healing process kicks into full force. Once the area is healed, patients will begin to notice the effects of the muscle-tightening efforts made by Dr. Davoudi, and the aesthetic improvements will become increasingly noticeable. Any scars created from incisions made during this procedure will be in discreet areas that can be easily concealed beneath clothing or undergarments.
