When you embark on a weight loss and fitness program, you probably have visions of being healthier and feeling confident at the pool or the beach.
Often, men who lose 50, 100, or more pounds find that their skin just can’t keep up with their weight loss. Imagine finally losing weight, but excess, hanging skin prevents people from seeing that new shape you’ve worked so hard to achieve! Excess skin after weight loss can also be uncomfortable and make it difficult to find comfortable and stylish clothes.
Body contouring surgery results in tighter skin, revealing a leaner physique with tight skin. The plastic surgeon uses innovative techniques to create a leaner-looking body and boost confidence. Some men even find that a “body lift” can make them look more muscular since the muscles they worked so hard to build were partially covered by excess skin and body fat. They look more chiseled after the body lift.
Liposuction is one of the most common surgical procedures for men. It’s especially useful to help tone areas like love handles that are resistant to exercise. You may be aware that you can’t spot-reduce fat through diet and exercise. The body chooses where it retains extra fat due to genetics, body type, and hormones. If your body naturally retains a little more fat in the love handle area, no amount of oblique crunches will make them go away. Liposuction will remove fat from specific targeted areas. There are different liposuction techniques available depending on your needs. It’s important to note that liposuction isn’t a weight-loss technique. It is a targeted fat reduction procedure.
Do you feel embarrassed to take your shirt off in public due to “moobs?” Many men share that concern. While weight gain can result in fat in the chest area, some men and teenage boys experience the development of breast-like tissue without weight gain. Gynecomastia may be the problem when exercise and diet can’t reduce or change an enlarged male breast area. This condition is usually caused by increased hormone levels and results in enlarged nipples that often resemble female nipples. Surgery is required to remove the breast tissue and resculpt the nipples. This procedure is performed with limited incisions to restore a balanced, well-formed chest and improve your self-esteem.
When your stomach sticks out, or you have excess skin in the abdomen, you may feel self-conscious. A tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) can help tighten your abs and flatten your stomach. Sometimes after rapid weight loss, a man may have excess skin that gives the stomach area a poochy look. During a tummy tuck, the plastic surgeon removes excess skin and fat and may repair muscle.
A tummy tuck is best for men who have good general health and are currently at a stable weight. If you are still losing weight, you will see better long-term results if you wait until you are maintaining before opting for a tummy tuck.
If you wish for a nonsurgical targeted fat reduction procedure, your wish may have come true! CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that effectively and permanently eliminates stubborn fat with zero downtime.
During a CoolSculpting treatment, the provider freezes unwanted fat using a special applicator device. Some of those fat cells are destroyed and released from the body. The procedure commonly removes fat from the abdomen, love handles, arms, thighs, double-chin, and back. All of this is done without the need for anesthesia or recovery time, CoolSculpting® is easy to fit into a lunch break, and the results emerge over the next few weeks following the procedure.
CoolSculpting is best for men within 20 pounds of their healthy weight range.

The first step to achieving a leaner and younger-looking physique is to schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon. During the appointment for plastic surgery for men Charlotte patients are encouraged to share their hopes, goals, problem areas, and concerns. Also, be sure to let your doctor know about your overall health, medical history, any current health conditions, lifestyle factors like whether you smoke, and any treatments and medications you take.
Your plastic surgeon will help you explore your surgical and nonsurgical options. Sometimes a patient requests a consultation for one specific procedure when another procedure may actually have the potential to offer better results for the patient’s goals. Your plastic surgeon will show before and after photographs and may use other imaging techniques to help you understand the possible results.
As with any elective procedure, the best candidates for plastic surgery for men are non-smokers in good general health. Your plastic surgeon will consider other factors specific to your medical history, age and skin condition.
