Male body contouring refers to a combination of surgical procedures designed to enhance the male physique by targeting excess fat, loose skin, and unwanted breast tissue. These procedures are customized to address specific concerns and create a toned, masculine appearance.
Dr. Carpin offers the following body contouring procedures for men:
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. Common areas for male liposuction include the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), back, and chest. This procedure sculpts and defines the body for a leaner, more athletic appearance.
A tummy tuck addresses excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles, often caused by significant weight loss or aging. This procedure tightens the abdominal wall and removes sagging skin, creating a firmer, flatter midsection. It’s ideal for men seeking a more sculpted and defined torso.
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue and fat to treat gynecomastia, a condition causing enlarged male breasts. Dr. Carpin creates a flatter, more masculine chest through liposuction or surgical excision, improving confidence and comfort.
For men with multiple concerns, a combination of liposuction, tummy tuck, and gynecomastia surgery can provide full-body transformation, addressing both upper and lower body contours for a balanced, sculpted look.
During your consultation, Dr. Carpin will work with you to craft a personalized procedure aligned with your concerns and goals.
