Body lifts are body contouring procedures designed to tighten and lift areas where excess skin, fat, and tissue have accumulated on the upper and lower body. These procedures typically target the back, flanks, abdomen, buttocks, arms, or thighs. Each lift procedure is tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
For individuals whose issues extend beyond excess fat cells and include sagging skin or weakened abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck may be needed to achieve the desired results.
A male tummy tuck involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of underlying abdominal muscles. The results will provide a more sculpted and toned appearance, and many patients notice an improvement in the functionality of their abdominal region.
Liposuction is one of the most popular, minimally invasive fat-reduction procedures available. As a highly adaptable procedure, it can be used in many different areas of the body where stubborn fat cells exist and refuse to respond to diet and exercise. These areas are most commonly found in the abdomen, lower body, and under the chin.
If you have recently lost a substantial amount of weight and are not encumbered by excess skin, tissue, or stubborn fat, this is a good sign that you are a candidate for male body contouring. Ideal candidates must lead an overall healthy lifestyle, follow a nutritious diet and consistent exercise regimen, have realistic expectations, and have a positive mindset around their recovery and end goals. It’s important to be in good overall physical health and keep in mind that non-smokers are preferred.
The recovery experience and time of this highly customized procedure will vary based on the type and extent of your specific treatment plan. Generally, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet will recommend you take a week or two off work to rest and avoid driving for one week. You will need someone to stay at home with you for up to a week after surgery to help you with everyday tasks so that you can rest. In two to three weeks, most patients feel much better and can return to work as their healing process continues.
