Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen and provide a more youthful and athletic appearance. Weight fluctuations and genetics play a vital role in the appearance of sagging skin and excess fat around the abdomen. Rigorous diet and exercises may not tighten the abdominal muscles or remove excess skin and fat from the middle or lower abdomen. In such cases,male tummy tuck or abdominoplasty may help to tighten weakened abdominal muscles and remove the extra skin.This procedure is offered at AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practices in Manhattan, NYC. Choosing a practice with plastic surgeons who are well-trained and experienced in performing this treatment is vital to ensure optimal outcomes.
This body contouring procedure in NYC may not give you that tough, six-pack abs but can tone your midsection to achieve a flat appearance. Abdominoplasty can be performed on patients who have their ideal BMI. You could be a candidate for male tummy tuck if you:
- Are in good health and close to your ideal body weight
- Have lost excess weight and want to get rid of sagging skin in the abdominal region
- Have realistic expectations
You will be advised to quit smoking prior to and after the surgery. In addition, take care to avoid taking health supplements and other medications.
Tummy tuck can be complete, partial, or liposuction-only abdominoplasty.
- In a complete tummy tuck, two incisions are needed. One is placed in the lower abdomen from one hip to the other, and a second one is made around the navel. In this procedure excess fat and skin are removed and the muscles tightened to provide a firmer, flatter abdomen.
- A partial or mini tummy tuck is recommended when only a small amount of abdominal skin needs to be removed, and there is no considerable protruding of the abdominal muscle wall. The recovery is faster for mini tummy tuck.
- Liposuction-only abdominoplasty is recommended for younger patients with elastic skin and moderate fat deposits. If the candidate has good abdominal muscle tone, the results would be remarkable.
