What is a Tummy Tuck for Men?

A Tummy Tuck, also known as an Abdominoplasty, is a popular procedure for men who are concerned about excess skin and fat around their mid-region. During an Abdominoplasty, your surgeon will remove the excess skin and sculpt the abdomen, resulting in a flatter, firmer midriff and a more toned appearance.

As well as the traditional Abdominoplasty, Cadogan Clinic’s surgeons also offer the Brazilian Abdominoplasty, which combines Liposuction with excess skin removal. Abdominoplasty and Brazilian Abdominoplasty are suited to patients who wish to remove excess skin and fat around the abdomen and have struggled to reduce this through diet and exercise.

Though potentially not recognised as such, abdominoplasty for men is a surprisingly common surgery. As experienced male tummy tuck London surgeons, our team utilise different techniques for the surgery to ensure your results adhere to the male body structure and composition. This ensures that your results are as natural-looking as possible, as we do not utilise any form of one-size-fits-all approach.

Why do people have a Tummy Tuck for Men?

Patient concerns are individual and vary however some common reasons for considering Abdominoplasty are excess or sagging skin caused by weight loss, stomach muscle weakness which may have led to a hernia and uneven fat distribution caused by genetics or ageing.

During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss the different options that are available and what will treat your concerns most effectively. A Mini-Abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck) is a similar procedure to the full Abdominoplasty, although your surgeon will focus on the excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen only. Your surgeon may also suggest Liposuction for men, in order to remove any excess fat and achieve the best possible results.

A mens abdominoplasty focusses more on the appearance of a flat, toned stomach rather than creating and/or maintaining curves around the hips and waistline in female patients.

Tummy Tuck for Men Procedure

When you choose Cadogan Clinic for your Abdominoplasty, what can you expect and what will you need to do to prepare for your surgery.

A thorough and comprehensive consultation process

Your surgical advisor will organise up to two face to face consultations with your consultation at our cosmetic surgery centre of excellence to discuss your concerns, surgical options and your desired results. Our surgeon’s consultations are usually between 30-60 minutes and your surgeon will use this time to explain the best options to address your concerns and the results you can expect.

Our surgeons recommend writing down your questions before your consultation. This will ensure you feel fully prepared and are able to get the most from your consultation.

Your surgeon will also discuss your medical history, take the measurements they need and take photos for your medical record.

Following your consultation, your surgeon will write up your proposed treatment plan and send it to your patient advisor. They will then contact you to discuss the options your surgeon has suggested, the pricing and the next available dates. You will then have a mandatory two week cooling off period to consider the options that have been given to you, and whether you would like to go ahead with surgery.

Pre-surgery preparation

If you choose to proceed with your Abdominoplasty, your surgeon will ask you to follow these steps to prepare for your surgery.

  • You will need to complete your pre-operative medical and psychological questionnaires. These will be reviewed by your surgeon, anaesthetist and nurses to make sure you are ready to undergo your Tummy Tuck.
  • You will need to stop smoking and vaping for at least six weeks before surgery to allow for a smooth and effective recovery.
  • You must avoid drinking alcohol in the 48 hours before your surgery.
  • For a week before your procedure, you shouldn’t take any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and aspirin, or any herbal supplements as these can increase the risk of bleeding
  • You must have a chaperone organised to come and collect you after your surgery. This should be a family member or friend who can either drive you or accompany you in a taxi and stay with you for the first night
  • In the 6 hours before you arrive at the clinic, you mustn’t eat any solid food or consume any juice or milk (including tea or coffee). You can have sips of clear liquids (water, or black tea and coffee) up to 2 hours before you arrive at the clinic

When you arrive at the clinic on your surgery day, you will speak with your surgeon, anaesthetist and the nurses to ask any final questions, and to be prepared for surgery with any marking the surgeon may need to do. The nurses will also ask you to put on a surgical gown and compression stockings.

You will then be taken into theatre. Once you are comfortable, your anaesthetist will administer your general anaesthetic. All Abdominoplasties at Cadogan Clinic are carried out using TIVA (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia) which reduces the risk of post-operative sickness and nausea and allows for a faster initial recovery.

Your surgeon will then complete your Abdominoplasty. After the procedure is finished, you will wake up on our recovery ward, where a nurse will check your vital health signs such as your blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. Once you are awake and comfortable, you will be transferred to our ambulatory ward where you will have something to eat and drink. When you are ready to be discharged, a nurse will talk you through any medication you need to take once you leave. Your chaperone will then come to collect you and you will leave.

Treatment recovery

The first few days following Abdominoplasty may be slightly uncomfortable and you may experience some pain. Many patients report a tight feeling across their abdomen, and it can be hard to move quickly. Your surgical team will have prescribed any medications you will require to keep you comfortable. You will be up and moving within a day and able to bathe normally in three days.

Following your surgery, you will be asked to wear a compression garment around your abdomen. This will support your midriff as well as reducing any swelling and protecting your incisions. You will need to wear this garment for up to 8 weeks day and night.

You will have two post-operative appointments following your surgery. The first will be a week after your Abdominoplasty, with our nurses. They will assess your incisions, remove your stitches and explain how to look after your dressings and garment further. The second appointment will be with your surgeon, six weeks after your procedure. Your surgeon will discuss your recovery and results and will take some more photos. They will also explain anything you need to do going forward as part of your recovery. If you have any questions about your recovery, you will be able to contact our dedicated nursing team on the 24-hour helpline.

The Risks of Tummy Tuck for Men

When considering an Abdominoplasty or any cosmetic surgery, it is crucial to understand any potential risks and complications. Your surgeon will discuss these complications and risks in your consultation and will make sure you know how they may impact your results should they occur. They will also assess your individual risk of these complications, and they may ask you to follow certain steps to prepare to reduce this risk.

  • Hematoma - This is the build up of blood beneath the skin and will require treatment from your surgeon
  • Poor wound healing - Healing complications or infection can affect the incision sites
  • Seroma - This is the formation of a lump under the skin caused by build up of fluid around the incision sites. This will require treatment from your surgeon.
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Allergic reaction to general anaesthetic
  • Infection at the surgical site
  • Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in a vein)

In the event of an unforeseen complication occurring, a secondary surgery may be required. The need for a revision surgery can arise due to factors beyond the surgeon’s control. Our skilled consultant surgeons are qualified professionals who have performed Abdominoplasty numerous times. The male tummy tuck before and after results we have secured for our patients are second to none, and we are proud to offer this procedure from our London clinic.
