What is a Male Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery is not just for women; males can also benefit greatly from this procedure. A tummy tuck is a surgical body contouring procedure to reshape the abdominal area for an overall slimmer appearance.
At Modern Surgical Arts, we offer several different types of tummy tuck techniques to address each of our patient’s individual aesthetic goals.

Traditional Tummy Tuck
A traditional or classic tummy tuck addresses the full length of the abdomen. An incision is created in the lower abdomen, through which abdominal muscles are tightened and excess skin removed. In some cases, a second incision may also be created around the belly button.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck involves creating a single incision on the lower abdomen, through which loose muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed. This procedure is ideal for men with a mild amount of skin laxity or lower belly pooch, as it does not address the area of the abdomen above the belly button.
Extended Tummy Tuck
Men who have experienced significant weight loss and are struggling with excess, sagging abdominal skin can often benefit from an extended tummy tuck. This technique creates a longer incision, and excess skin is removed from the upper and lower abdomen.

Circumferential Tummy Tuck
A circumferential tummy tuck is a body lift procedure that may also be beneficial for men who have lost a significant amount of weight. This procedure removes excess lax skin and tissue from the abdomen, waist, lower back, and buttocks.
Candidates for Male Tummy Tuck
Men who are bothered by lax skin around the belly or a protruding abdomen may be able to benefit from this procedure. Ideal candidates will be healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations regarding what this procedure can accomplish. Please schedule a consultation to learn more about a male tummy tuck and if this procedure is right for you.
The Male Tummy Tuck Procedure
The male tummy tuck procedure can be performed using either general or twilight with local anesthesia and generally takes 2-4 hours to complete. The number of incisions required during surgery will depend on the specific tummy tuck technique being performed. Most tummy tucks will involve repositioning the naval. Excess skin will be repositioned and trimmed away. Incisions are closed with surgical sutures.
Male Tummy Tuck Results and Recovery
Male tummy tuck surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis so patients can return home to heal. Mild soreness and discomfort are to be expected, which can be controlled with over-the-counter or prescription pain medication. A surgical drain may be placed to collect any excess fluid or blood during recovery.
Most patients can return to work within 2-4 weeks, depending on the type of job. We encourage patients to get up and walk around the house to maintain healthy circulation; however, strenuous exercise will need to be avoided for 6-8 weeks. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions regarding how to properly care for your surgical site for optimal results.

Success Story From a Real Patient
Fast forward 60+ years. Dr Dastoury and his wonderful team did such a beautiful job on my wife’s breast enhancement. Her experience at Modern Surgical, and the level of care that she received, and what I witnessed, was nothing short of amazing. A year later while attending one of the “Modern Surgical Ambassador Thank You Dinners,” I asked Dr “D” on the side if there were any solutions to revising my scar? He encouraged me to come into his office and do a free evaluation. I took him up on his offer and he determined that it was possible to give me real dramatic change, and it was affordable!
Being very cautious, I thought about the risks, versus the rewards for several months before making my decision to go ahead with the surgery. Dr Dastoury conducted my surgery, and throughout the entire post-surgery process, and my journey of healing over the many months to come, he provided me with excellent care. He was extremely engaged in getting me whole and getting me the look we had hoped for. He went way beyond what I consider normal doctors care. The entire Modern Surgical team has been so kind and caring and conducted themselves in such a professional manner. I could not be happier with my outcome! I look back and I think of all the years I have lived with this deformity. I am so happy I was led to Dr Dastoury so he could do his artistry and make me whole again.
I am so excited to go to pools, beaches, and the gym to show off my new body. There is only one big problem!!…Now I want to travel all the time to take my shirt off. The surgery was a true value compared to what our new travel budget $$$ is costing…lol This decision has changed my life for the better. I am so happy I did it! It’s been a real journey, but I never felt alone since the Modern Surgical Team had my back.
If asked, YES, I would do the surgery again! Thank you! Thank you!
