Men can have stubborn areas of excess fat and/or excess skin on their bodies that don’t improve with diet and exercise.

Body Contouring

Dr. Griffin specializes in several body contouring procedures for men, such as:

Liposuction – Like women, men will find certain areas of their body are resistant to change, regardless of diet and exercise. Men tend to have excess fat in their abdomen and flanks or “love handles” instead of the thighs like most women. Liposuction is a great method for body contouring in these areas.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and Lipoabdominoplasty are common procedures done in men who have excess skin and fat in their midsection. Abdominoplasty or lipoabdominoplasty can produce a flatter, tighter, more aesthetically appealing stomach.

Male Body Contouring FAQs

What's the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck for men?

Liposuction removes stubborn fat but won't address loose skin. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the muscle underneath, which is why some men need both.

How do I know which procedure is right for me?

It comes down to your skin quality and where your excess fat sits. Dr. Griffin reviews both during your consultation and recommends the approach, or combination, that fits your body.

What's recovery like?

Liposuction recovery is typically quicker than abdominoplasty. Dr. Griffin will give you a specific timeline based on which procedures you have.

When will I see final results?

Swelling needs time to resolve, so your contour keeps refining for a few months. Most men see a clear picture of their results within three to six months.

Are there non-surgical options?

For smaller areas of stubborn fat, a non-surgical treatment may offer gradual improvement without downtime. Dr. Griffin can tell you whether that's realistic for your goals or whether surgery will get you there faster.

What are the risks?

Risks include infection, fluid buildup, and changes in skin sensation, among others common to body surgery. Dr. Griffin reviews what applies to your specific procedure.

Is male body contouring covered by insurance?

Cosmetic body contouring generally isn't covered. An exception may apply if excess skin is causing a documented medical issue, which our office can help you look into.
