In the past, cosmetic procedures may have been considered primarily for women, but in today’s society, everyone should feel confident in their appearance. More men are empowering themselves to take control of their body image, and plastic surgery has become increasingly popular.
In particular, weight loss treatments, such as surgery and medications like GLP-1 have helped many men lose a great deal of weight, often with the production of loose and saggy skin.
For men who are unhappy with the way their abdominal region looks, our dedicated plastic surgeon, Dr. Nachbar, is here to offer customizable solutions. A male tummy tuck in Scottsdale offers transformative body contouring to men who are looking to increase their self-esteem and overall quality of life.
A male no-drain tummy tuck, also known as drainless abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen. Diet and exercise changes are sometimes not enough to remove stubborn pockets of fat in the abdominal region. If aging or weight loss has left you with excess belly skin or fat that does not respond to healthy lifestyle changes, a tummy tuck can help slim and define the midriff.
There are a number of approaches which can be used depending on the problem, but the procedure generally involves making an incision along the lower abdomen through which Dr. Nachbar, our double-board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, will remove excess fat, tighten abdominal muscles, and reposition the remaining skin for a smoother and flatter appearance. There is often an incision around the belly-button as well, and men who have a lot of excess skin in the upper abdomen as well may benefit from a Fleur-de-lis procedure, which utilizes a vertical approach to tighten the skin in the upper abdomen as well.
Men with a great deal of excess skin from weight loss often benefit from a more extensive procedure, which we call a Circumferential Tummy-Tuck or Lower Body Lift.
Dr. Nachbar performs all of those procedures with a Drainless or No-Drain technique, which is a little more complicated than many plastic surgeons are comfortable with. When it is helpful to tighten the muscles of the abdomen as well, Dr. Nachbar does that, and then also uses Exparel®, a long-lasting anesthetic that dramatically reduces discomfort for three to four days.
Some facilities, such as HonorHealth, do not allow plastic surgeons to use Exparel®, so be sure to ask if you are having the procedure in such a facility.
At Scottsdale Plastic Surgery, LLC, you can combine a male abdominoplasty with liposuction, a procedure that breaks down and suctions out fat deposits, as well as a number of other procedures depending on the needs. Those procedures are often used for men who have excess skin in multiple areas from significant weight loss.
Abdominoplasty is an empowering way to address stubborn belly fat and loose skin and tissue. Tummy tucks for men take a unique approach, as men and women often have different body image goals. For example, men often want a more sculpted and defined abdomen than women.
It is also important to consider that men have different skin elasticity and fat distributions than women, which will affect surgical strategy and incision placement. Dr. Nachbar understands these nuances and is highly skilled in tailoring each procedure to each individual’s needs. Here are some advantages of this cosmetic surgery:
