What is the different between Male Tummy tuck and female tummy tuck?

Congratulations on your weight loss!  As you know most patients who have lost that amount of weight have significant skin laxity and may have muscle laxity, as men tend to loose "visceral fat."  Weight loss tummy tucks should be able to address muscle laxity, residual fat deposits, and loose skin.  The differences between male and female procedures are important.  I try to make the incision more flat as I find the curved suprapubic incision can look feminine.  In addition it is important to be conservative with waist / flank contouring to avoid too narrow of a waistline.  Finally, the shape of the umbilicus needs to be considered, as a small, vertical, hooded umbilical does not look masculine.  Best of luck as you consider your options.

Hello and thank you for your question. While I understand the different "before and after" results you have seen, it is basically the same option of tummy tuck procedures available to both women and men. They exist as follows:Mini-abdominoplasty tightens the lower abdominal wall and skin below the umbilicus, belly button, only (shortest scar).



Modified abdominoplasty addresses conditions where just the muscle wall or just the abdominal skin requires repair.



Standard abdominoplasty tightens all of the abdominal wall skin and muscles above and below the belly button. The scar can be altered or lowered to be hidden by most panty lines and bathing suits. (Standard scar).



Extended abdominoplasty tightens the abdomen and the flanks or sides (longest scar extending around the flanks onto lower back.)Now, it relates more to the appropriate procedure in relation to your situation rather then whether you are male or female. There are always post-op healing complications and difficulties, while swelling can be an issue for several months after surgery including swelling in the pubic area above the penis. So, it will take some time to wait for the full results to appear. Good luck.

The difference is the anatomy that you start with not the technique or the skills that are used to to create the results.
