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

perezsallal
I'm a 24 year old male (5 feet 10 inches tall and 165 lbs). I've recently lost roughly 90 lbs and I'm interested in tummy tuck surgery. I'd like to know what is the different between male tummy tuck and female tummy tuck? I looked at MANY before/after photos of people who had tummy tuck and saw that female had better results after tummy tuck. Why is that? I want a very tight/flat belly. I believe my abdomen muscle is VERY LOSE and it looks like I have a basketball inside. I want flat belly!
