Will a Full Tummy Tuck Ruin Upper Abs Definition in a Male?

Hi there-

Considering the degree of excess skin you have, as well as the fact that the QUALITY of the skin is poor, I predict you will be very dissatisfied with any procedure that involves a limited dissection. 

ESPECIALLY in patients like yourself, it is very important to completely redistribute the skin over the entire abdomen in order to achieve a pleasing and uniform appearance.

Your concern that the upper abdominal definition would be lost is extremely unlikely, and in fact I believe the upper abdomen would only improve further.

Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who will be able to explain the procedure, where the incision lines will be and show you photos of other patients before and afters. A well done procedure shoudl have no impact on your upper definition and will remove the excess skin below. Good luck.

From your photo alone, a mini may help you since it appears you have loose skin only below your belly button and don't need muscle plication. However, please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to confirm which treatment would be most suitable for you.
