Women and tummy tucks are requested more than men due to the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. During pregnancy, women often stretch their abdominal tissues as the child grows. Following childbirth, these tissues often fail to go back to their normal appearance, leaving many women with stretch marks, loose skin, and a bulging abdomen. A tummy tuck can reestablish the abdomen, tighten overextended muscles, reduce stretch marks, and trim excess skin for a woman or a man. A male tummy tuck is obviously not to modify a mommy's belly, but that doesn't mean men cannot strive for the same aesthetic goals. Tummy tucks for men (especially men with apron fat) can produce amazing results as well for loose skin, stretched ab muscles, and pockets of fat that will not go away (even with exercise and diet). Dr. Khorsandi will consult with men and women for all types of tummy tuck surgery (including panniculectomy for hanging abdominal skin only).
