Good Tummy Tuck Option for Male in Excellent Shape?

It may well be that a lower abdominoplasty removing the excess tissue below your navel and extending the surgery around the back to contour the laxity along the posterior flanks may well be worth considering. Surgery is done on an outpatient basis and you should take two weeks off from work. It would be best to wait until your weight has been stable for awhile before you consider surgery. Good luck.

For loose skin below the belly button a mini tummy tuck might be the answer. However, there will be a scar which will extend form hipbone to hipbone. The scar is permanent and you will have to decide if the improvement in contour is worth the scar. I would suggest that you have a plastic surgeon draw on you where the scar will be so you can determine if it is something that you can live with.

Hi! We do a fair number of post weight loss procedures, and you sound particularly straightforward. I cannot tell without knowing exactly what you look like, whether you need just a lower ("mini") tummy tuck, or a full abdominoplasty. Probably just lower. Also, since it sounds like you just need a "skin only" tummy tuck, there is less pain, and the recovery is quicker.

 You have done a great job getting your body and health back where you want them.

Hi there- There are a great many options and variations available to you to help you achieve the result you're looking for- I would find a surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery who has a lot of experience in body contouring and review these with them. I think you'll be happy with what you learn.

The key to body-contouring is to first obtain a healthy stable lifestyle which you have. The second is to customize any procedure to match your desires and risk tolerance. Depending on your acceptance of scars and your anatomy, various types of abdominoplasties, belt lipectomies, body lifts, etc are available. It doesn't matter what the surgery is called. It matters what is done. Carefully review your goals and risk tolerance with an experienced plastic surgeon and spend lots of time... more

Congratulations on the loss and return to good health. This is a common problem for men. Even though we tend to have better skin tone than women we can still end up with excess skin due to skin memory. It sounds like you could undergo a mild excision of the excess tissue-less than a mini tummy tuck. In the back you have to be more cautious as scars can widen. Look for several Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. It's cheaper outside of N.Y.
