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.

As moms, we often prioritize the needs of our families over our own, but it's essential to take time for self-care and embrace the opportunity to enhance our confidence and well-being. Mother’s Day is a reminder of the incredible journey of motherhood but also a time to reflect on and treat ourselves. If you feel that the physical changes brought about by pregnancy and motherhood are impacting your self-confidence, and you wish to reclaim your pre-pregnancy curves, it might be the right time to consider a Mommy Makeover.
Following pregnancy, there are many physical changes to the body that can take a toll on a new mother’s body. This includes sagging breasts, unwanted excess skin and fat, cellulite, and stretch marks. It can be difficult to restore your figure prior to giving birth, even when executing healthy habits such as exercising and eating right.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer the mommy makeover procedure. A mommy makeover is a combination of body contouring procedures that can target the upper, mid, or lower body. This procedure is highly customized to suit the needs, goals, and desires of each individual patient.
Mommy makeover can include combination procedures and treatments such as tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement, vaginal rejuvenation, skin care, and more. In many cases, the selected procedures can be performed during one session, reducing the necessary downtime required following surgery.
What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, can tighten weakened abdominal muscles and lax skin to improve the appearance of the midsection. Loose skin, excess fat, and stretch marks can be addressed with tummy tuck surgery, providing patients with a natural-looking contoured waistline.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can improve the appearance of the breasts by altering the size and shape to restore the natural contours of the breasts. Breast augmentation utilizes breast implants to recreate fuller, more shapely breasts following a loss of volume from pregnancy or breast feeding.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can restore the appearance of sagging, drooping breasts by repositioning the breasts to a more youthful and lifted position. Breast lift can enhance the size and shape or the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue for shapelier breasts.
Liposuction
Liposuction can precisely remove stubborn fat to provide a more contoured appearance to different areas of the body. Liposuction can target the abdomen, thighs, waist, legs, hips, and more to achieve a toned, sculpted physique. During mommy makeover, liposuction is often combined with tummy tuck to tighten and tone the midsection.

During the long winter months, we stay indoors and out of the cold, and we bundle up to keep ourselves warm and unexposed to the elements. These winter months are an ideal time to take advantage of undergoing body contouring procedures, giving you plenty of recovery time before the summer approaches.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of body contouring procedures that can help treat the unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat and excess skin that can be challenging to get rid of, even when exercise and healthy lifestyle choices are being made. Body contouring can enhance the natural contours of the body and achieve a more defined figure.
Common body contouring procedures include tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, MAsterTuck℠, and CORE Abdominoplasty℠. These procedures can achieve a more sculpted and toned figure and provide a natural-looking transformation to the patient’s current physique. Learn more about these body contouring procedures that can help you fulfill your desired body sculpting goals!
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is most commonly performed following pregnancy or significant weight loss to remove loose, sagging skin from the abdomen and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. The appearance of stretch marks, excess fat, and the contours of the body can be improved with tummy tuck surgery, resulting in a slimmer waistline.
Liposuction
Liposuction can enhance the contours of the body through techniques that target and eliminate unwanted fat along the midsection, arms, thighs, face, neck, and more. Liposuction can improve the proportions of your body profile and produce natural-looking results, leading to a more sculpted and toned figure. There are multiple liposuction techniques, including VASER® LipoSelection, super-wet liposuction, and more. Dr. Asaadi can help determine which type of liposuction is right for you.
MAsterTuck℠
MAsterTuck℠ is a liposuction technique that can sculpt the body by removing excess fat around the midsection to achieve natural-looking results. Patented and solely performed by Dr. Asaadi, this procedure targets fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck℠ differs from traditional liposuction, as it does not leave lax skin following the procedure, but rather tightens the skin for a firmer overall appearance.
CORE Abdominoplasty℠
CORE Abdominoplasty℠ is performed by positioning patients at a 45-degree angle to allow Dr. Asaadi to discover where the abdominal muscles have weakened and where the skin has become lax, leading to bulging. Once the problem areas are identified, the CORE Abdominoplasty℠ procedure can provide patients with tighter, more defined abdominal muscles, as well as smoother skin and a slimmer silhouette.

VASER® LipoSelection
POSTED ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2023 AT 9:00 AM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi
Removing and eliminating unwanted fat from different areas of the body is one of the most sought-after body contouring and plastic surgery procedures. Innovative plastic surgery advancements over the years have led to the creation of a variety of different techniques and methods to perform liposuction. These new methods are suited to better fit the needs of each patient and their desired goals. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer multiple methods of liposuction, including VASER® LipoSelection.
VASER® LipoSelection is a specialized liposuction technique that removes fat and tightens skin in one procedure. The purpose of this procedure is to target unwanted fat and extract it, while also encouraging skin retraction for a gradual firming effect. This method of liposuction is minimally invasive and uses ultrasound technology to generate and transmit sound energy to underlying fat cells. As the fat cells are exposed to the ultrasound energy, it is gradually liquefied. The fat cells are then gently removed to ensure skin retraction and smoothness in the targeted areas. This procedure is ideal for patients who are interested in tackling persistent fat pockets in a range of different areas of the body.
Treatment areas for VASER® LipoSelection include the abdomen, thighs, hips, legs, arms, and neck. Other and more specific areas that can be targeted include the knees, flanks, upper arms, face, inner thighs, chin, outer thighs, calves, breasts, and ankles. The benefits of the VASER® method include predictable results, fast recovery, minimal pain and bruising, and it is gentle so it can be applied to delicate areas of the face and body.
What is the difference between VASER® LipoSelection and Traditional Liposuction results?
VASER® Liposuction is able to selectively target and extract unwanted fat from precise areas. This technique leaves the connective tissue and nerves intact, resulting in minimal discomfort and faster recovery than traditional liposuction. The VASER® method has a shorter procedure time and requires less downtime post procedure as well.
Benefits of ultrasound technology leave patients with beautifully contoured results and skin tightening benefits. Following the VASER® procedure, patients can expect long-lasting body sculpting results. This method is designed to restore and firm the natural-looking contours of your body.
Dr. Asaadi and his staff are more than happy to answer any questions concerning VASER® LipoSelection or other body contouring plastic surgery procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

A mommy makeover combines a variety of surgical procedures to address some of the common physical changes following pregnancy. Often after giving birth, the breasts begin to sag or deflate, and the abdomen holds excess skin, stretch marks, and bulging. This procedure is highly customized to suit the needs, goals, and desires of each individual patient.
Mommy makeover combinations may include breast enhancement, liposuction, tummy tuck, and vaginal rejuvenation.
Am I a good candidate for a mommy makeover?
If you have developed physical changes in your body following pregnancy and you are in overall good health, then you may be an ideal candidate for mommy makeover. Other important factors also include if you are finished having children, and if you are currently breastfeeding.
Each mommy makeover is uniquely tailored for each patient's health concerns and goals. These factors are important when determining what areas of the body to target and what combination of procedures to use for your mommy makeover.
Prior to scheduling the procedure, a physical examination will be conducted to discuss goals, concerns, and more to properly decide what combination of procedures to perform.
Mommy makeover targets:
-
Breasts that have deflated due to breast feeding or weight loss
-
Stretch marks
-
Pockets of fat
-
Excess skin
-
Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
How many treatments does mommy makeover include?
One of the benefits of the mommy makeover is that multiple procedures can be combined and performed at once. Additional treatments following the initial mommy makeover is dependent on what procedures were originally performed. Factors such as overall health and patient goals will be taken into account prior to the mommy makeover procedure.
How soon after having children should I consider a mommy makeover?
It is preferred that you have returned to your pre-pregnancy weight, are done having kids, and it is at least three to six months following breastfeeding that you choose to undergo a mommy makeover.
What will my recovery be like?
The recovery process and timeline will vary from patient to patient depending on which procedures were performed. Downtime can range between two to six weeks, and is discussed during the consultation appointment.
