I have lost around 90lbs in the past few years just from diet and exercise and want to get a tummy tuck to get rid of the lose skin and lipo around my love handles. All doctors have told me I need to do an extended tummy tuck and some even said that i should continue the scar behind lower back above my buttox to best get rid of the skin from my love handles? I have mixed feelings about that. I wanted to also know if it is recommended for men to do the abdomen wall muscle tightening? Thank you
Answer: Circumferential scar and muscle tightening With large amounts of weight loss, the excess skin can continue into the flank and lower back. When the skin removal is done in these areas as well, the procedure is considered a belt lipectomy or circumferential body lift. You may need this due to how much extra skin you have. Most men who lose a lot of weight may have had some intrabdominal fat, which caused stretching of the abdominal wall. A surgeon will be able to tell if you need abdominal wall tightening. This is commonly done in men as well.

Answer: About the Gynecomastia Surgical Techniques with a Tummy Tuck It is not uncommon to combine a tummy tuck with male breast reduction. There are three types of surgical treatment options available to treat gynecomastia. The excision technique is used on cases of #gynecomastia where excess skin and glandular breast tissue must be removed and the areola or nipple needs reduction and repositioning to create a natural looking appearance. Men who suffer from large #areolas may notice that after breast surgery, the skin of the chest muscles will tighten, causing the areolas to tighten and diminish in size. This is a result of the removal of glandular and/or adipose tissue.

Answer: Male tummy tuck with muscle tightening Without photos and/or physical exam it is not possible to comment whether a tummy tuck or circumferential body lift would be the better option. Many but certainly not all of my male patients will benefit from a rectus plication but if there is no spreading of the muscles (diastasis) this is not absolutely necessary.

Answer: Male tummy tuck and muscle tightening. Is it recommended for men to do the abdomen wall with muscle tightening? You are probably a very good candidate for a tummy tuck. If a patient needs the muscle tightening, I perform this during the surgery. Look at

Answer: Make tummy tuck I generally do not perform muscle tightening for make tummy tucks. Muscle looseness is usually due to pregnancy, so in your case it is probably not needed. The difference between a full tummy tuck and a belt lipectomy, which goes all the way around the back, is that the latter is quite more extensive surgery. Without photos, it is hard to tell if you need the full belt lipectomy or would be okay with just the tummy tuck.
