At Solomon Cosmetic Center, we understand that many men struggle with stubborn abdominal fat, loose skin, and weakened muscles that do not respond to diet and exercise. Whether due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics, these concerns can impact your confidence and comfort in your own body.
This is the most common form of tummy tuck surgery. It is ideal for men dealing with a significant amount of excess skin and fat in the midsection. This approach involves an incision made from hip to hip, allowing the surgeon to tighten the underlying abdominal muscles and create a more defined contour. It is particularly effective for men who have experienced changes in their bodies due to aging or fluctuations in weight. The procedure is often combined with liposuction to sculpt the area. Results are typically long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
The extended tummy tuck is designed for men who have more extensive concerns, including loose skin, excess belly fat, and weakened muscles that extend beyond the abdomen to the flanks or lower back. This procedure involves a longer incision that extends around the hips, allowing for a more dramatic contouring of the waistline. It’s often recommended for men who have undergone major weight loss and are left with sagging tissue in multiple areas. The surgery enables comprehensive tightening of the torso, resulting in a more athletic and balanced appearance. Though recovery may take longer, the results are typically transformative.
A reverse tummy tuck targets the upper abdomen and is ideal for men who have sagging skin above the navel. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, this technique involves incisions placed under the chest. It’s particularly effective for patients whose lower abdomen remains relatively tight but who have loose skin collecting in the upper region. The procedure can be combined with other chest or body contouring surgeries for enhanced results. It’s a specialized approach that addresses a unique set of aesthetic concerns.
The fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is often performed on men who have undergone massive weight loss and are left with extensive sagging in the abdominal area. This procedure utilizes both vertical and horizontal incisions to remove excess skin and enhance definition. It allows for more precise tightening of the underlying muscles across the entire abdominal wall. Because of the incision pattern, it’s ideal for reshaping the torso in multiple directions. While scarring is more prominent, the benefits are significant for men looking to complete their weight loss transformation.
The male tummy tuck procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the surgery. Typically, general anesthesia is used, allowing the patient to remain entirely unconscious and pain-free during the operation. This step is crucial for a safe and controlled surgical environment.
Depending on the specific technique chosen, incisions vary but often include a low incision near the pubic hairline to minimize visible scarring. These incisions provide access to the abdominal wall, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and address underlying structures. For more extensive procedures, additional incisions may be necessary to achieve optimal contouring.
During the surgery, the belly button is carefully repositioned to maintain a natural appearance. After excess skin removal and muscle repair, the surgeon creates a new opening for the navel, ensuring it aligns correctly with the newly contoured abdomen. This attention to detail is essential for achieving a balanced, masculine look.
The final step involves closing the incisions with sutures, drains, or adhesive strips to support healing and reduce swelling. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Solomon, carefully ensures that the low incision is neatly sutured to minimize scarring while preserving the natural contours of the abdomen.
A lower body lift addresses skin laxity that commonly occurs after significant weight loss or the natural aging process. This procedure removes and tightens loose skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs, improving overall body shape and firmness. It is frequently performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck to provide comprehensive contouring of the lower torso.
During the first 24 hours after surgery, male tummy tuck recovery focuses on managing discomfort and preventing complications. Patients typically wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues. Pain medication is prescribed to keep discomfort under control, and rest is strongly encouraged. Close monitoring during this initial period ensures a smooth start to the recovery process.
A tummy tuck for men can enhance physical appearance and boost confidence after changes in body shape. This procedure offers a range of aesthetic and functional improvements that appeal to those seeking a refreshed look.

Male tummy tuck results can be long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of the results by causing the skin to stretch or the muscles to weaken again. Consistency in diet and exercise plays a critical role in preserving the improved abdominal contour over time.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to enhance appearance and refine aesthetic features, focusing solely on elective procedures that reshape specific parts of the body. Reconstructive surgery, on the other hand, aims to restore function and normal appearance after injury, illness, or congenital defects. While both require skill, their purposes and goals differ significantly.
Dr. Solomon is a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, which means he has undergone rigorous training and met strict standards in cosmetic surgery. Choosing a board-certified surgeon ensures a higher level of expertise, safety, and professionalism.
