Tummy tucks can be as popular for males as they are for females. For some men, no matter how much they exercise they just cannot seem to lose belly fat and reveal those much coveted six pack abs. Most men who have a tummy tuck, ask to have their love handles removed too. Men requesting fat reduction surgery is becoming more popular as men attempt to keep up with their female counterparts. Plastic surgery has been mostly a female market making women appear up to 10 years younger in appearance than males.
The male tummy tuck removes excess fat, flattens the abdominals and tightens the skin in the belly area. Aging notoriously brings about sagging and added fat in mid-sections. For women it is also pregnancy and menopause, while for men, in addition to age, they typically tend to store fat in their mid section. And the beer belly most men get is funny enough caused in part by beer drinking.
Doctors recommend a consistent workout plan and eating a healthy diet before and also after surgery. This type of surgery is performed with local anesthesia and sedation on an out patient basis. Two incisions are made, hip bone to hip bone and then another incision to reposition the belly button. Doctors stitch the abdominal muscles together to tighten them then they remove excess skin and stretch the remaining skin back to the incision point. Men typically choose this complete surgery rather than a mini tuck, which just removes fat in the lower ab area located below the belly button.
Most men seem to prefer the extended tummy tuck were the doctor extends the incisions and removes skin and fat from the love handles located on the sides and upper hips. Men often opt for endoscopic surgery due to smaller incisions with a camera inserted under the skin so the doctor can tighten stomach muscles without cutting the skin.
The cost of fat reduction surgery via a tummy tuck depends on the procedure, as well as the surgeon and facility. A full tuck can run up to $10,000 while mini tuck will cost less. However, adding fat reduction of love handles will increase the price dramatically. And of course, anesthesia and tests prior to surgery plus consultation fees can add to the cost. It is best to get a consultation with a surgeon who offers a complimentary consultation and is accredited with referrals.
