What Is Male Body Contouring?

Male body contouring uses surgical techniques to remove fat and tighten loose skin. Men typically want to define their abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest, and back.

Depending on what you want to improve, you might consider these procedures:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes extra skin and tightens the abdominal muscles for a flatter midsection.
• Liposuction: Removes fat deposits from the abdomen, chest, flanks, and back.
• Body etching: A highly detailed liposuction technique that sculpts around the muscles to create definition in the abdomen and chest. This procedure should only be done by an experienced surgeon. 

You can choose one procedure or combine them for a more complete result that fits your vision.

What to Expect After Male Body Contouring

Recovery depends on which procedures you opt for. Most men can expect mild to moderate downtime with gradual improvement over several weeks. 

Our surgeons perform most surgeries using IV sedation or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), which allows you to avoid general anesthesia gases. This method typically helps patients return home the same day with less discomfort and a quicker recovery. 

Individual experiences will vary, which we will discuss during your consultation.
