Weight loss can drastically improve an individual’s physical and mental well-being. However, when excess fat or skin is left after weight loss, patients can experience discomfort that interferes with their desired outcome.
Body contouring for men following weight loss offers cosmetic procedures to remove fat deposits and excess skin for a more toned and sculpted appearance. Body contouring for men has become increasingly popular. Learn more about male plastic surgery to enhance weight loss results below!
Liposuction For Men
Liposuction is among one of the most common body contouring procedures performed. While weight loss reduces fat, it cannot control which specific areas the fat is lost from. Liposuction can treat specific areas resistant to diet and exercise to reduce pockets of stubborn fat and enhance weight loss results. Common areas lipo for men target include the arms, chest, abdomen, and love handles. Today’s minimally invasive techniques offer minimal downtime and skin tightening benefits.
Male Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, targets loose abdominal skin, weakened stomach muscles, and excess fat. A tummy tuck is ideal for men looking to tighten and tone their abdomen. Factors such as aging, obesity, and improper lifting can cause men to experience diastasis recti (or separation of the abdomen muscles). The only way diastasis recti can be corrected is through tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tuck surgery is often combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and skin to achieve a slimmer, contoured waistline.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess breast tissue and fat in men for a sculpted and toned chest. Gynecomastia surgery can treat excess skin following weight loss. Liposuction is most often performed to remove excess tissue during gynecomastia.
Body Lift For Men
A body lift is performed to address multiple cosmetic concerns of the body at once. Body lift surgery procedure targets excess skin following significant weight loss. A body lift can provide improvements to the abdomen, arms, back, legs, and more. After significant weight loss, stretched skin and tissue often lack elasticity to conform to the new body shape. Undergoing a body lift, removes any excess skin and tissue while tightening lax skin and repairing damaged muscles.
Why Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss
Studies show the percentage of men obtaining plastic surgery increases annually. Body plastic surgery can remove excess or loose skin while sculpting the body. After weight loss, excess skin can increase the chances of infections, skin irritation, negative body image, and more. Undergoing body contouring can enhance masculine physique and address problem areas.

With an increase in demand for weight loss drugs, there has been an increase in body contouring procedures to remove excess skin after significant weight loss.
GLP-1 drugs have been the latest trend for significant weight loss. GLP-1 drugs, like Semaglutide, mimic the natural hormone of GLP-1 in the body, which helps with blood sugar regulation and decreases appetite. The effect of dramatic weight and rapid weight loss, however, can leave people with loose and sagging skin. Excess skin on the body can negatively affect confidence and cause health complications, including decrease of mobility and an increased risk of infections. For those experiencing excess skin following weight loss, body contouring procedures may be recommended.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of body contouring procedures to address and remove excess skin following weight loss. Body sculpting procedures to address excess skin can include tummy tuck surgery and body lift procedures. Undergoing a body contouring procedure can take care of excess skin all over and improve overall health. Learn more about body contouring procedures and discover which is the right fit for you!
Tummy Tuck
Often known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck surgery is ideal for patients who have undergone significant weight loss. Tummy tuck surgery addresses loose abdominal skin, stretch marks, weakened stomach muscles, and excess fat. In addition, patients may achieve a slimmer waistline with the stomach muscles positioned closer together. This procedure can achieve long-lasting body sculpting results while tightening stretched stomach muscles.
Body Lift
A body lift is an overarching surgery to firm multiple parts of the body with one procedure. Body lifts can tone the body while removing excess skin and target specific body parts. A lower body lift can address the abdomen and buttocks, breast surgery can correct sagging or flattened breast tissue, and an arm lift or thigh lift can remove excess skin for a toned look. Body lifts are ideal for patients who’ve had significant weight loss. Dr. Asaadi decides what body lift procedures are necessary for each individual case.
Skin Tightening Treatments
Significant weight loss in a short period of time can affect skin elasticity and result in drooping skin. Non-invasive skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus8 and Ultherapy® are available for patients looking to address excess skin without surgery. Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radio frequency technology to deliver skin tightening effects. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology to boost collagen and elastin production and achieve sculpted results.
