Finding a doctor that's performed tummy tuck on large amount of male patients?
March 31, 2025
Asked By:Jasweb1988 in Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey
I’m a 38-year-old, 5’ 10” male. In the start of 2022 I weighed 280 pounds, but I now weigh 167 pounds after several years of a caloric deficit weight loss. Because of my large weight loss I’ve been researching abdominoplasty surgery/surgeons in my area (The west New Jersey suburbs right outside of Philadelphia). The research I’ve done online says about 94% of tummy tucks are performed on females. Whenever I go to a doctor’s website the before and after photo section often shows up to a dozen examples of procedures performed on women, but I’m lucky to ever see more than one photo set of a male patient. The thing that worries me is that I don’t want to have the surgery performed by a physician that’s only performed a tummy tuck on a handful of male patients. I definitely want someone that done dozens, ideally at least fifty, procedures on men. I plan on using it as a weeding out factor. Which brings me to my situation: I want to be able to ask the physician how many tummy tucks they’ve performed on male patients, but I don’t want to have to set up dozens of consultations/appointments just to get to that question. That would waste a significant amount of time. How can I ask the doctor/physician group how many procedures they’ve performed on men prior to setting up a visit? Not sure about the best way to go about obtaining accurate info. Thanks in advance!

From your photographs, it seems you are a very good candidate for a tummy tuck. That would be about the only way you could tighten the muscle which has been so stretched out. I am pretty sure would have a vertical incision at the umbilical donor site. This may be at the bikini line. So it...
After body contouring surgery, it is very common for the skin to be initially relatively tight and then have some degree of relaxation, as the skin has lost some of its strength and elasticity. If your surgeon tries to make the initial repair very tight, there is a risk of poor wound healing,...
