Male Tummy Tuck
in Orlando, FL
What is Male Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, strengthens the muscles inside the abdominal wall and removes excess fat and loose skin. Tummy tucks are a good option for men who watch their diet and exercise but have loose skin around their stomachs. The procedure is also a good option for men who have successfully lost large amounts of weight. Other factors that create a need for a tummy tuck may include heredity, aging, and loss of skin elasticity.

What are the Benefits of Male Tummy Tuck?
Men often think about getting tummy tucks to look lean and defined. Tummy tucks do much more than make you look fit, though. Here are some ways that tummy tucks benefit men physically and emotionally:
- Men who have tummy tucks to reduce fat work hard to keep the weight off post-surgery. They have a tendency to stay fit and healthy.
- Tummy tucks strengthen the abdominal muscles, giving better spine support and straighter posture. Lower back stress and pain are reduced.
- Men who get rid of extra skin and fat find exercising easier and more fulfilling after their procedure.
- Looking fitter helps men feel better about themselves. Self-esteem boosts produce endorphins that lower stress levels and boost the immune system.
Who is a Good Candidate for Male Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is typically the last resort for healthy men who have exhausted all methods of losing weight around their midsections. The procedure works best on men who are close to their ideal body weight and should not be used as an alternative to weight loss. Men who have lost a substantial amount of weight and are left with loose skin are typically good candidates as well. Men who get tummy tucks should be prepared to eat a healthy diet and exercise after recovery.
How Is Male Tummy Tuck Performed?
Dr. Peters works closely with each patient to customize every procedure based on specific targeted areas and needs. Some patients have liposuction or other procedures at the same time as a male tummy tuck. General anesthesia is typically used during the surgery that can last from one to five hours. After the surgery, compression garments are often recommended. Patients are advised to rest for a period to recover.
