Men’s Tummy Tuck in Tucson, AZ

Name: Male Tummy Tuck
Brand: Tucson Plastic Surgery

Body contouring plastic surgery for men is different and our plastic surgeons know how to get the results you are looking for. There are anatomic differences that must be accounted for. For men, the problem areas tend to be the abdomen and love handles as opposed to women, who tend to focus on the hips and thighs.

Sculpting the Male Physique

The surgical plan for men will often focus on enhancing their muscular appearing physiques and narrowing the waistline. Abdominal liposuction often enhanced with “Vaser” for skin tightening can have a profound effect. For more troublesome areas and in particular excess skin, a tummy tuck can also be custom designed for the male physique. Excess fat and loose skin can affect your body after significant weight loss or aging. You can address stubborn fat, loose skin, and even damaged muscles with a male tummy tuck procedure at Tucson Plastic Surgery in Arizona.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A men’s tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure is a surgery to help remove excess body fat and loose skin from the abdominal area. This surgical treatment targets areas of stubborn body fat that can resist diet and exercise. In cases where lifestyle changes do not make enough of a difference, an abdominoplasty can help men restore their bodies to a more sculpted and leaner look.

Tummy tuck procedures can restore weakened abdominal muscles and balance the overall proportion of your abdomen with the rest of your body. Sagging and loose skin can occur for various reasons, including aging, genetics, weight changes, and previous surgery. This procedure can help you achieve the slimmed and smoothed abdomen you desire.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Men who have followed a healthy diet and exercise regimen but still see the effects of stubborn fat or loose skin can benefit from a tummy tuck. These individuals may notice excess fat protruding from the abdomen, lack of muscle definition, and excess skin due to weight loss. Candidates for a tummy tuck must be near their ideal weight and should have maintained it for at least six months. Patients must be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations of what the surgery can accomplish. The best way to determine your candidacy for male tummy tuck surgery at Tucson Plastic Surgery is through a private consultation with one of our expert surgeons.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery can vary depending on your concerns, body, and treatment goals. The three primary forms of tummy tuck surgery offered at Tucson Plastic Surgery include a mini-tummy tuck, a full tummy tuck, and an extended tummy tuck.

Mini-Tummy Tuck

The mini tummy tuck procedure involves addressing loose skin and stretch marks below the belly button. One incision is made above the pubic area where the loose skin is removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened.

Full Tummy Tuck

The full tummy tuck procedure is intended for candidates wishing to address excess body fat and skin above and below the belly button. During this surgery, a horizontal incision is made above the pubic area where excess fat is removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. An incision can also be made around the naval to address excess skin above the belly button.

Extended Tummy Tuck

Men wishing to address hanging and drooping skin in their abdomen can opt for an extended tummy tuck. This procedure involves a longer incision where loose skin is removed from the abdomen and flanks, and the abdominal muscles are tightened.

Tummy Tuck Recovery Process 2-4 weeks

Your tummy tuck recovery will occur on an outpatient basis. Temporary side effects after your surgery can include soreness, bruising, and swelling. Your doctor may place drains in the surgical site to release excess fluid or blood after surgery. You should take time off from work for 2-4 weeks while recovering. Lifting heavy objects and stretching the abdomen should be avoided during healing. Your results from surgery will be long-lasting; however, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain your intended results.

You could not dream of a better team than Tucson Plastic Surgery. From the minute you walk in the door, every person you encounter is compassionate and welcoming. For going through such a scary process, they were patient, informative, and made it so much easier to digest. It truly feels like you have a team fighting for your health and advocating for your well being. Both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir are caring, confident, and masters of their craft. Doctors and nurses alike were there at the drop of a hat for any issues that arose post-op, and were always more than happy to take calls/emails and reassure me. I felt extremely taken care of and cannot recommend them enough. Bonus: their advocacy efforts are commendable and the office is gorgeous! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot say enough about the level of care and concern from the team at this facility. They were all so kind and patient as they helped me achieve the results I wanted post mastectomy. They made the experience so much less traumatic then I had anticipated. I was stunned at how amazing I looked post surgery. I would HIGHLY recommend both doctors! They are amazing!

I had the pleasure of working with both Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir for my mastectomy to implant reconstruction and revision with fat grafting. I cannot say enough about Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir along with Virgina and the rest of the Tucson Plastic Surgery staff during what was certainly a fast and frightening year of my life. Both surgeons and staff were so positive, reassuring and compassionate from the minute I walked in for my first consultation. Dr. Kurtovic and Dr. Mahabir put my nerves at ease with their warm care and attention to detail in every aspect of their practice. I was lucky to have both surgeons of this amazing practice be the lead surgeon of my two procedures. I am so thankful to Tucson Plastic Surgery and the work they do. I am extremely happy with the results, and I can safely say with the help, support and guidance of Dr. Kurtovic, Dr Mahabir and Tucson Plastic Surgery, I’m ready for the next year and to be on the other side. I cannot thank you enough for your care and gratitude.

Met with Dr. Mahabir to discuss reconstruction options. Walking into his lobby, my husband and I immediately found comfort as the area is inviting and beautifully designed!! The rooms are just as beautiful and tranquil. I loved his confidence and his knowledge in breast reconstruction. He gave me my options and we selected 2! Double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (implants), once I finish chemo, we'll go back in for my final surgery (DIEP flap). Dr. Mahabir was professional, kind and compassionate which is what you want from your surgeon! His staff were also very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Mahabir for your reconstruction needs!!

What an amazing surgeon and staff. Dr Mahabir and Nicole Baca were awesome!! My experience with a breast reduction/reconstruction due to breast cancer 17 years ago was perfection. I'm so happy with the results and I'm just 6 weeks out. Did a Tummy Tuck for fun and can't wait to see final results in a few months. Fabulous all the way around from scheduling, to surgery to post op visits. Worth the 5 hour round trip drive from N Scottsdale to Tucson. Thank you...happy beyond words!

Both Dr. Mahabir and Dr. Kurtovic are health care providers who care for patients with dignity, and quality care. My mom was Dr Mahabir's patient, and she was treated with respect, humility and patience as we were trying to understand reconstructive surgery after my mom's breast cancer diagnosis. I am in deep appreciation for Dr. Mahabir and the care he provided to my mom; he practiced active listening, and treated both of us as human beings (something you rarely see in the health care system; especially, managing a cancer diagnosis). All staff at Tucson Plastic Surgery, since the moment you walk in are attentive to patients' needs. Both my mom and I felt welcomed and in positive spirits as soon we walked into Tucson Plastic Surgery's space. I am specially grateful for Virginia Van, Patient Care Coordinator at Tucson Plastic Surgery for always answering our questions promptly, and making sure we fully understood everything regarding my mom's care pre and post surgery. After the cancer diagnosis, every visit with Dr. Mahabir became a positive experience, and a break from the myriad of testing and doctor visits my mom and I had to attend. Tucson Plastic Surgery created a space for my mom and I to find relief and look forward to a life after cancer. Thank you for all your work!

Highly recommend Dr. Mahabir and his team! He listens well, is excellent at what he does and overall my experience was nothing but positive.

Nothing but good things! Dr. Mahabir and his staff have been wonderful throughout my surgeries and recovery. I had a preventative double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction in June and just this week had an implant exchange. The pre-care and after care has been nothing short of excellent!

I won’t have enough room to say everything good I have to say. Dr Mahabir changed my life. I have lived with neck and upper back pain for over 20 years. It’s gone now. Gone. Thanks to not taking advil for the pain my GERD is gone now too. As a side benefit one of the supplements I was given for better surgery outcomes has virtually eliminated my post nasal drip due to allergies. There is virtually no scars tissue from the procedure. The only thing left after three months are red lines. Much less than I was told to expect. On my skin these red lines will be gone on less than a year. My only regret is that is did not do this procedure sooner. This office is so professional. Staff answer calls immediately. I never felt like I couldn’t call and get answers to questions or concerns. The recovery was a breeze and I did listen to Dr M when he told me not to over do things because I felt so great. I followed directions with great care and had an incredible outcome. Dr M has a detailed preparation and post op protocol. He really knows what he is doing.
