A tummy tuck is the ideal surgical procedure for male patients in Spokane who desire a flatter, tighter, and more defined midsection. Many men find diet and exercise alone are not enough to give them the abs they want. A tummy tuck could remove fat and tighten the underlying muscles to reflect the work you have put in.
When you are ready to learn more about obtaining a male tummy tuck in Spokane, schedule your consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Kai Morimoto at KM Plastic Surgery today.
A tummy tuck, medically known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess, unwanted abdominal skin and fat. A tummy tuck from Dr. Morimoto can address these issues in the abdominal area:
When you experience any of these cosmetic issues, you may be an ideal candidate for a male tummy tuck in Spokane.
Stubborn weight gain around the waist can be caused by various factors, including age, genetics, diet, lifestyle, and health conditions. However, stubborn abdominal weight is not just a cosmetic concern.
Excess abdominal weight gain can be a medical issue when left unaddressed, and can put you at risk for heart disease, diabetes, liver issues, certain cancers, and even sudden death.
Your male tummy tuck procedure in Spokane will take place under conscious sedation in our surgical center. It begins with an incision from one hip to the other. In some cases, an additional incision will be performed around the belly button. Through this incision, excess abdominal skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are brought together.
Once the excess fat is removed, the remaining excess skin is tightened and stitched together. Dr. Morimoto will place the incisions to conceal the scars as much as possible.
Your recovery from your tummy tuck will depend on your personal health and individual factors. However, most patients can return to their normal daily activities after two weeks. Your full recovery period may take up to two months as you fully heal.
During your consultation with Dr. Morimoto, you will receive detailed instructions about caring for your incision site and any information you need about your dressings. We will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress throughout your recovery.
A few differences between the male and female tummy tuck are aesthetic in nature. Male patients often choose a procedure that emphasizes their six-pack, while women prefer a toned, flat stomach. For women, curved incisions along the bikini line result in a more feminine appearance, so Dr. Morimoto opts for subtle, straight incisions on men. The belly button will also be placed in a lowered, more masculine position for our male patients.
In addition to the tummy tuck, our male patients in Spokane often opt for additional liposuction to trim and tone their physique. Additional liposuction can trim the waist further and eliminate love handles.
