A male "tummy tuck" or abdominoplasty is a common procedure to reduce the size of your stomach. This procedure decreases the appearance of a protruding belly by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying stomach muscles.

Dramatic or frequent fluctuations in weight can weaken your abdominal muscles. The result is skin that begins to sag and stretch. A flabby stomach can be frustrating and embarassing for many men.

Benefits of a Male Tummy Tuck

As men age, fat begins to redistribute itself into the abdomen. For a majority of men, diet and exercise alone can not produce optimal results. By removing excess skin and tightening your abonminal muscles, you can enjoy a slim, attractive midsection.

Male tummy tuck surgery can produce a midsection that is:

• Flatter
• Tighter
• Better contoured
• More aesthetically pleaseing

For best results, be sure to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

Ideal Candidates

The best candidates are men who are close to or have reached their ideal weight, but whose stomach has not responded to diet and exercise. Those who have excess skin due to significant weight loss can also benefit from this procedure.
