Fort Myers Tummy Tuck
It is a common misconception that abdominoplasties, or tummy tucks, are for women. This simply is not true. Though you are more likely to see a woman who has had multiple pregnancies interested in a tummy tuck procedure, anyone, men and women alike can enjoy the benefits a tummy tuck can create reducing flabby and saggy skin as a result of weight loss or simply due to age, while at the same time reducing fat deposits around their mid-sections, love handles and hips.
The tummy tuck procedure for men is very similar to that of women and offers three different components addressing the individual needs of the person interested. It is strongly recommended to talk to a Fort Myers Tummy Tuck Plastic Surgeon about specific details concerning this type of surgery.
A full or traditional abdominoplasty addresses the upper and the lower regions of the abdomen in addition to the underlying muscles. With a full tummy tuck, the plastic surgeon you choose will make an incision from one hip bone, down along your pubic area and then back over the other hip. This allows him to tighten the abdominal muscles, while at the same time pull down and remove excess and damaged skin. He can also perform liposuction to eliminate fat deposits around the belly and love handles. The result is a firmer, flatter, more proportioned middle.
A mini abdominoplasty addresses the lower region of the abdomen only and does not tighten the underlying muscles. This procedure is best for those patients who maintain a rigorous diet and exercise routine, but still can't seem to eliminate their poochy belly. This incision is significantly smaller requiring less recovery time and less cost.
An extended abdominoplasty is a much more comprehensive procedure as it encompasses the reconstruction work of a full tummy tuck, but also extends to the back side, in a sort of mini body lift procedure addressing the extra flab and fat along the sides (or love handle area) and just along the back. (Problem areas for most men.) This procedure is not one to be taken lightly. It is only advised for those men who have lost a substantial amount of weight and find they have loose and sagging skin around their backsides and middle sections. Because this cosmetic procedure addresses so many areas, the cost is certainly higher and there is a significant amount of recovery time.
As with any cosmetic surgery, it is important to discuss your goals and concerns with your Fort Myers plastic surgeon. It is also important that you understand the risks associated with each procedure to help you decide which course of action to take and what is going to work best for you.
