What Is a Male Tummy Tuck?
A male tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body-contouring procedure explicitly tailored for men. It removes loose, excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles for a flatter, more masculine physique. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Germán Newall specializes in contouring the male torso and boosting confidence with world-renowned tummy tuck techniques in Houston, Texas.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Male Tummy Tuck?
For many men, a healthy diet and consistent workouts aren’t enough to produce a toned abdomen, especially those who have lost a significant amount of weight. Male abdominoplasty patients are usually frustrated by:
- Loose, hanging abdominal skin
- Weakened or stretched abdominal muscles
- A protruding belly
Men seeking a more defined, masculine abdominal contour often benefit from this procedure.

Male Tummy Tuck FAQ
Does a male tummy tuck leave scars?
Yes, a scar is an inevitable part of your tummy tuck surgery. However, Dr. Newall places the incision low on the abdomen, so it’s easily concealed. Abdominoplasty scars gradually flatten and fade over time.
Will a drain be used during the tummy tuck?
Dr. Newall places a single drain only if liposuction was performed during your procedure. The drain is removed about 6 days after your procedure. If no liposuction was performed, you will not require a drain (a drainless tummy tuck).
Should you combine liposuction with a tummy tuck?
Many men benefit from combining liposuction with a tummy tuck. This approach benefits men who wish to reduce pockets of unwanted fat in areas like the waist and flanks. Dr. Newall is known for his skill in combining these procedures to deliver youthful, masculine body contours.
What is abdominal etching?
Abdominal etching strategically removes fat from the stomach, waist, and flanks, giving the male abdomen the appearance of chiseled “six-pack” abs. Dr. Newall leverages his advanced liposculpture expertise and artistry to perform this specialized treatment.
How long do male tummy tuck results last?
The results from a male abdominoplasty are long-lasting. You can preserve your flatter stomach by maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. If you are planning substantial weight loss, consider postponing abdominoplasty to avoid fluctuations in weight that could impact your results.
