About Male Body Contouring

Male body contouring is a collection of different procedures that cater to the unique needs and beauty standards of men. While many people think that body contouring procedures are primarily designed for women, there has been a growing number of men undergoing plastic surgery to achieve their aesthetic goals. Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) supports this and has found that 7% of all plastic surgery patients in 2024 were men, which totaled over 29 million patients. ⁽¹⁾

Available Procedures 

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is a procedure that can restore a smoother and flatter stomach, as well as a seamless transition between the chest, abdomen, waist, and hips. Dr. Tobbia can perform it by removing excess skin, addressing fat accumulations, and tightening lax muscles around the abdomen. ⁽²⁾

Arm Lift

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a procedure that can correct the appearance of “bat wings,” or hanging skin around the upper arms. Dr. Tobbia typically performs this after a patient loses a significant amount of weight to remove redundant skin, and it can accentuate the sculpt of their biceps. ⁽³⁾

Back Lift

A back lift excises excess skin and fat to redefine the upper, middle, and lower back. This procedure can eliminate folds, creases, or “back rolls” found near the shoulder blades, around the mid-back, or above the waist, allowing you to comprehensively resculpt the area. 

Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss

Body contouring after massive weight loss can help you comprehensively transform your figure after losing weight from bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or traditional lifestyle changes. It is a set of surgical procedures that can remove sagging skin, allowing you to improve your muscle definition, silhouette, and sense of self-confidence all at the same time. 

Body Lift

A body lift is a procedure that can reduce sagging skin from multiple areas of the body at once. Dr. Tobbia can perform several variations of this procedure, including an upper body lift and lower body lift. An upper body lift targets excess skin and fat around the upper torso, upper arms, and mid-back area, while a lower body lift addresses nearly 360 degrees around the torso, including the waistline, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. ⁽⁴⁾

Fat Transfer 

A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a procedure where fat from one region of your body is removed, purified, and readministered into another region. ⁽⁵⁾ Dr. Tobbia can take unwanted and excess fat from areas such as the abdomen or legs and use it to fill in lines and wrinkles, rejuvenate the hands, and more.

Male Liposuction

Male liposuction uses a suctioning cannula to remove fat from various parts of the body that will not respond to any changes you may have implemented. ⁽⁶⁾ With it, you can restore a more athletic overall sculpt and further define the look of your muscles. 

Liposuction and Fat Transfer

Liposuction and fat transfers combine the techniques of the two procedures into one to enhance your appearance. It first uses liposuction to resculpt one area of the body. Dr. Tobbia will then purify the removed fat before readministering it to another area of the body to refine and smooth it. 

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift, or a thighplasty, is a procedure that can help you achieve smoother and more contoured thighs by removing excess skin and fat. ⁽⁷⁾ It can easily address the remnants of a previous weight loss journey, visible signs of aging, and any other loose or lax skin affecting the appearance of this region. 

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a procedure that can correct sagging skin, weakened muscles, and accumulated fat around the abdomen and waist. Dr. Tobbia can perform this procedure to restore smoother and tighter skin, as well as a slimmer and more defined silhouette overall. ⁽²⁾

Ultrasonic High Definition Liposuction

Ultrasonic high definition liposuction is a procedure that can elevate your physique by eliminating stubborn fat deposits from around the body. It emits ultrasonic waves during the procedure to emulsify the fat before Dr. Tobbai suctions it away, leaving the region more toned and slim. ⁽⁶⁾ 

Upper Body Lift 

An upper body lift can remove sagging skin around the upper arms or upper back. It is primarily performed to address age-related changes or fluctuations from weight loss, and it can help you achieve a more contoured upper body. 

Candidates

You may be considered an ideal candidate for male body contouring if you are interested in achieving a more sculpted, masculine physique, but have been struggling to address sagging skin or persistent fat through dieting and exercise alone. You should also be in good general health and possess a stable weight that you can maintain long-term. You should also hold realistic expectations and lead a nicotine-free lifestyle. 

Advice and Treatment

Attending your consultation is a fundamental step to resculpting your figure. During this visit, Dr. Tobbia will meet with you individually to discuss the details of your procedure. She will review your medical history, converse about your concerns, set realistic expectations, and perform a physical examination.

Dr. Tobbia will then use this information to create a one-of-a-kind solution to help you achieve your desired build. She will determine which procedure(s) will best suit your needs and tailor each one. As she does this, she will explain each aspect of treatment, including how she will perform it, how to prepare, and what to expect from your recovery. She will also answer any questions you may have.

Preparation

After scheduling your procedure, Dr. Tobbia and her team will provide you with detailed instructions to help you prepare. These may vary depending on the details of your treatment plan, but they typically include:

Recovery

After your male body contouring procedure, you will need to take some time to focus on your recovery. To help you, Dr. Tobbia and her team will give you detailed post-operative instructions so you understand how to care for yourself. 

You can expect some swelling, bruising, and general discomfort in the treatment area. These effects will subside on their own, but you may manage them with prescribed medications and plenty of rest. Non-strenuous activities can resume after resting for several weeks, but you will need to refrain from engaging in anything arduous until Dr. Tobbia approves. She will also have you return to her office for follow-up appointments so she may monitor your recovery progress. 

Results

You can experience the refined results of your male body contouring procedure once any residual swelling subsides. While your exact results will vary, you can expect to enjoy improvements such as more defined muscles, smoother and tighter skin, a more sculpted figure, and a more youthful-looking appearance overall. 

The results of male body contouring are long-lasting, with effects that you can enjoy for many years to come. To best preserve them, Dr. Tobbia recommends maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
