Body Contouring For Men at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery

Body contouring for men has gained popularity as more individuals seek to refine their physical appearance and enhance self-confidence. Techniques in body sculpting offer a range of options for fat reduction, muscle definition, and skin tightening.

Achieve Your Ideal Physique

These surgical and non-surgical procedures can target areas often resistant to diet and exercise, providing a path to achieve a more defined and toned silhouette. At Boston Center for Plastic Surgery, our meticulous approach enables men to refine their appearance without compromising their natural look.

What Makes Body Contouring Different for Men?

Men’s body contouring is tailored to enhance the male physique, which typically aims for a V-shaped torso, accentuated muscles, and a more rugged appearance. Key differences include:

Fat Distribution: Men have more visceral fat than women, which is deeper and around organs. Subcutaneous fat, targeted by contouring, is usually less in men, affecting treatment outcomes.
Muscle Mass: Due to generally higher muscle mass, contouring can be more about defining these muscles rather than just removing fat.
Skin Elasticity: Men often have thicker and more elastic skin, leading to potentially better results post-treatment as the skin may retract more effectively.
Desired Outcome: Male patients may seek a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted shape as opposed to women who often want an hourglass figure. Our contouring techniques are adapted accordingly.

Am I a Good Candidate for Male Body Contouring?

You’re likely a good candidate if you:

Have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin
Cannot target specific problem areas with diet and exercise
Are at or near your ideal body weight, as body contouring is not a weight loss solution
Can maintain a stable weight for at least six months to one year, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the outcomes
Are a non-smoker, or are willing to quit for a short time before and after, as smoking can hinder healing and increase the risk of complications
Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery
Are free from medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgery risks
Are experiencing age-related body shape changes

Surgical Male Body Contouring

Surgical male body contouring encompasses several procedures designed to reshape and enhance the body. These surgeries offer targeted removal and sculpting of fat and tissue.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, addresses enlarged breast tissue in men, offering a more masculine chest contour. To treat gynecomastia effectively, surgeons remove excess fat and glandular tissue, sometimes with liposuction. The result is a firmer, flatter chest area, enhancing your overall body shape.

Abdominoplasty

Also known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty tightens your abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a flatter, more toned stomach area. Men with loose skin often seek this surgery after significant weight loss, or those with weakened abdominal muscles due to age or hereditary factors.

Liposuction

Liposuction effectively removes excess fat from specific areas of your body and is useful for stubborn fat that persists despite diet and exercise. Key areas for men include:

The abdomen
Love handles
Chest
Neck

The procedure involves inserting a small tube called a cannula through tiny incisions to suction out fat.

Non-Surgical Male Body Contouring

In recent years, non-surgical body contouring options have become popular for men who want to enhance their physique without downtime. These treatments are designed to reduce fat and tighten skin with minimal risk.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting utilizes controlled cooling to target fat cells, a process known as cryolipolysis.

Target Areas: You can treat areas like the abdomen, flanks, and chin.
Duration: Each session typically lasts about 35-60 minutes.
Expectations: Results may become noticeable after three weeks, with full results in two to six months.

SculpSure

SculpSure employs a laser to heat fat cells beneath the skin without affecting the surface.

Target Areas: Popular for the belly, love handles, back, and thighs.
Duration: A 25-minute procedure can treat multiple areas at once.
Expectations: Optimal results are typically seen at 12 weeks post-treatment.

ThermiTight

ThermiTight is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and improve contours.

Target Areas: Areas like the neck, chest, and arms can be treated effectively.
Duration: The procedure usually takes less than an hour.
Expectations: While some results may be immediate, the best outcomes are often seen after several months.

What Results Can I Expect from Body Contouring for Men?

Body contouring for men is designed to reshape and enhance your physical appearance. Here are some of the expected results:

Reduced Excess Fat: Target stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
