A male tummy tuck, AKA abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin as well as tightens muscles to create a firmer abdomen. A traditional tummy tuck is when an incision is made from one side of the hip to the other and also around the belly button to reposition the navel. Extended tummy tuck removes “love handles” from the sides of the waist as well as excess fat and skin around the stomach. Circumferential tummy tuck lessens skin elasticity while a mini-tummy tuck changes the look of the abdomen below the navel. Endoscopic tummy tuck is best for patients with little abdomen fat, weak abdominal muscles and a bit of loose skin around the stomach.
