One of the most common issues–if not the most common–that our male patients approach us with is loose, hanging skin in the abdominal region. If you have experienced weight loss and extra skin tissue has not been resolved with diet or exercise, you have come to the right place.
Male patients approach our board-certified and board-eligible surgeons because embarrassing abdominal skin is not only cosmetically unattractive, it can also be emotionally distressing. You may be disappointed by sagging, loose skin and tissue in the stomach area and around the waist, and the inability to reveal defined abdominal muscles. Patients in Fort Worth can see these issues expertly and permanently corrected with a male tummy tuck at North Texas Plastic Surgery.
A tummy tuck—medically known as an abdominoplasty—is a cosmetic surgical procedure that permanently removes excess skin from the belly and tightens remaining sagging skin. This procedure also tends to reveal the underlying musculature, helping you look more defined, toned, and masculine.
Typically, a tummy tuck procedure is the best option when the weight loss leaves more skin than is necessary to contain the fat beneath it. For many of our male Fort Worth patients, even the healthiest of lifestyles cannot help them achieve their ideal weight and look, so an abdominoplasty is necessary – often with some liposuction included.
A tummy tuck can offer a variety of physical and emotional benefits for our male patients in Fort Worth, including:
The tummy tuck procedure is not designed for drastic weight loss—it is ideal for patients who are already close to their goal weight but are experiencing sagging belly skin that is hiding musculature underneath. Men may be a good candidate for an abdominoplasty if they:
The best way to establish if you are a viable candidate for this procedure is to speak with one of our plastic surgeons who will learn about your wishes and lifestyle, and plan a customized procedure that works for you.
Your exact male-centric abdominoplasty procedural details will depend on the carefully designed strategy that our plastic surgery team devises during your initial consultation in our Fort Worth office. This surgical strategy will be created keeping your best interests and your safety in mind. You can expect that your abdominoplasty procedure will:
The general procedure will involve an incision from one hip to the other with an additional incision around the belly button. Through this incision, our plastic surgeon will remove excess skin tissue and bring together the abdominal muscles. Any remaining skin will be tightened. We also tend to include liposuction all the way around the waist to clear out fatty deposits and provide a full-circumference makeover that matches with the procedure in the front.
There may also be a reshaping or reconstructing of the belly button. Our plastic surgeons will take special care to create incisions in such a way that they are carefully concealed so you will have no embarrassment about showing off your new abs!
The tummy tuck is one of the most popular procedures offered for men at North Texas Plastic Surgery, and we perform nearly a thousand abdominoplasties every year. It is ideal for patients experiencing loose skin around the abdomen that often remains after significant weight loss. This treatment can be life-changing, helping you regain happiness and a sense of control.
