Women continue to undergo surgery more than men, but the gap is beginning to shrink as the desire for male cosmetic enhancements increase. One of the most common procedures for men is tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, tightens and tones the midsection by removing excess skin and fat while tightening lax abdominal muscles. This leaves you with a sculpted, masculine appearance.

Achieve a Masculine Physique

Desiring a flattering, toned physique isn’t reserved for women only. Men want to look their best just as much as women do, and tummy tuck surgery can assist in that desire. For some, no amount of dieting or hours spent at the gym will provide the desired toned and sculpted midsection. Genetics, age, and lifestyle all play roles in your appearance and physique. Tummy tuck surgery can sculpt your stomach and give you the confidence to wear form-fitting clothing or even the courage to go without a shirt. With this surgery, there is no reason to feel like you need to hide.

Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss

Tummy tuck surgery is often performed after weight loss. When both men and women lose a substantial amount of weight, their skin doesn’t always bounce back. The more weight you lose and the older you are will contribute to the amount of skin laxity left behind. Unfortunately, surgery is the only way to eliminate the excess skin. Tummy tuck surgery heightens your weight loss transformation and exposes the new contour you’ve worked to achieve.

Combine Procedures for Greater Transformation

While tummy tuck surgery can create striking results on its own, combining your tummy tuck surgery with liposuction can bring your midsection to the next level. It’s not uncommon for men to hold a little extra weight around the waist and love handles. And despite their affectionate name, no one loves them—the only thing they’d love is not to have them. By combining liposuction with your tummy tuck, your surgeon will be able to define and tone your entire midsection, leaving you with masculine definition.
