Tummy Tuck for Men in Bellevue, WA
A tummy tuck for men in Bellevue removes excess skin and tightens the core after weight loss.
Quick answer
A male tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes loose abdominal skin and tightens the muscle wall — most often after significant weight loss — to restore a flat, firm, masculine midsection that diet and exercise can’t achieve alone.
After major weight loss, men are often left with an apron of loose abdominal skin and a weakened core that won’t respond to training. Dr. Day removes the excess skin and repairs the muscle for a flat, strong contour, frequently combining it with liposuction of the flanks.
For men whose primary issue is the overhanging skin, a panniculectomy may be appropriate and sometimes insurance-eligible.
