Tummy tucks for men are becoming popular as sport enthusiasts and healthcare professionals admit that even vigorous exercise cannot achieve every aesthetic goal. A tummy tuck is the surgical tightening of the skin in the lower and upper abdominal regions and is often paired with liposuction to create a smoother appearance.

A tummy tuck is not a good way to lose weight, but it is a great way to tighten an abdomen that is flabby or has loose skin due to:

• Bariatric surgery
• Massive weight loss
• Exercise-resistant fat deposit(s)

You can learn more about plastic surgery for men in the Saint Augustine and Jacksonville, Florida, areas by contacting Dr. Desai at the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Eyelid surgery for men is often paired with a brow lift or other type of plastic surgery procedure available for men. Eyelid surgery will not change the shape of your eyes but can help remove wrinkles by removing the excess skin around your eyes and tightening the upper and/or lower lids to help you appear younger and more alert.

You can ask Dr. Desai if eyelid surgery is right for you, or if you may require a different type of procedure to achieve your aesthetic goals.

A facelift simply tightens the muscles and loose skin of your face, which helps:

• Reduce lines
• Reduce sagging
• Decrease laxity
• Increase firmness

There are different types of facelifts available for men, and some of them require longer recovery periods than others. Unlike some procedures, such as liposuction, a facelift is a procedure that is difficult to recover from stealthily. A full facelift may require several weeks of recovery and visible marks.

However, a facelift is also likely to have the greatest positive impact on your appearance. To get an idea of the kind of improvement you may see from a facelift, consider researching before and after images. While a facelift can remove years off your appearance, when skillfully performed it will not change your actual appearance; you will still look like you.

A neck lift for men is basically the same procedure as for women. The sagging skin of the neck is tightened, and the excess fat may be removed to create the appearance of a more sculpted, youthful neck. This helps define the jaw line and may create the appearance of weight loss in many cases, particularly with the removal of sagging neck skin.

While you can have a neck lift as an individual procedure, many men request a neck lift in addition to a facelift or to chin or cheek implants. This is usually because a facelift affects only the face, not the neck, which is also affected and marked by aging.

There are basically two types of tummy tucks performed at the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery:

• Mini-abdominoplasty
• Full abdominolasty

As with any surgery, there are risks involved with a tummy tuck such as bleeding or infection; however, if you are in general health and follow Dr. Desai’s post-operative instructions to the letter, you should fully require and enjoy your new body in 1-3 weeks. Since each patient is unique, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number of days or weeks you will need to recover. Tummy tucks are performed under general anesthesia and usually require a one-day hospital stay. Again, since each patient is unique, your stay in the hospital could be longer, though it’s rare.

With so many cosmetic surgery financing options available today, we are confident there is one to fit your budget.

There is a procedure called “liposuction” that can be very effective in removing the fat deposits that diet and exercise could not. Though not all people are good candidates for this procedure, chances are if your health is good and you meet certain other requirements, board-certified Jacksonville, Florida cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai, can perform liposuction on those troublesome areas of your body. Dr. Desai has performed this procedure on thousands of patients; typically, liposuction is performed on the:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• “love handles”
• Calves
• Ankles
• Back
• Upper arms
• Breasts

After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Desai will discuss the various options in liposuction he offers and explain which one is best for you and why. Liposuction can be performed under general or local. You will be instructed to wear compression garments for the first few weeks following your procedure. All incisions are less than one centimeter and will be virtually invisible to others.

Recovery from liposuction is fairly rapid. If you follow all post-procedure instructions, you should be up and around and back to work in no time. Since each patient is unique, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number of days or weeks you will need to fully recover.
If you want liposuction and live in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra or anywhere in the surrounding area of Florida, please contact the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery today to schedule an appointment.
