More Men Seeking Tummy Tucks in Tampa

Tummy tucks are not just a cosmetic surgical procedure for women in the Tampa, Florida area. It seems like more men in Florida are consulting with tummy tuck surgeons in Tampa and opting for abdominoplasty surgery to help them look more fit and trim. In fact more than 43000 people underwent cosmetic operations last year.

Reducing the size of a protruding belly is often not remedied by exercise alone, and rapid, extreme weight loss can leave men with excess skin. For men, once they choose a tummy tuck surgeon in Tampa  the surgeon will perform what is also known as male abdominoplasty. This is a very common procedure done by Tampa tummy tuck surgeon, Dr. Francis Rieger.

In Florida especially, the weather and lifestyle alone is reason enough for women and men alike to maintain a fit looking body. As we age or as our weight fluctuates, there are areas on our body that just may not respond to diet and exercise. Consulting with a Tampa, Florida plastic surgeon can help men determine whether they are a candidate for tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tucks are best suited for men and women who have weak muscles and an excess of loose skin in their abdomen. For those patients who have only a little extra abdominal skin, a mini tummy tuck is a great option.  During initial consultations at the Hyde Park Cosmetic Surgery Center in Tampa, Dr. Rieger will help you choose the tummy tuck procedure that will meet each man's goals. If you have had gastric bypass surgery you must reach and maintain a stable weight prior to undergoing any type of body contouring surgery and tummy tuck procedures are often performed a year or more after your gastric bypass surgery.

In short, many men and women are opting for cosmetic surgery as a means to get a flatter, firmer abdominal contour that is more proportionate with your body type and weight
