Male Tummy Tuck - From a keg to a SIX PACK

When body contouring with liposuction is not enough to achieve the goals you are looking for, a Male Abdominoplasty or Male Tummy Tuck may be needed to obtain this optimal result. A Male Tummy Tuck is performed to remove excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. It can also tighten weakened or separated muscles creating a smoother and firmer look. Even thou this procedure is virtually identical for male and female patients there are several important differences: men seldom need an abdominal wall tightening; scars can be placed at slightly different areas due to differences in anatomy and undergarments, plus most men want a strong muscular look as a result.

AB etching

If you are already in shape, but have approximately 0.5 inch of ¨pinchable fat¨, doctor Riascos can offer you a safe way to give your abdominal muscles more definition creating the appearance of a six-pack. This plastic surgery procedure accentuates the existing muscle by removing fat selectively highlighting the underlying muscles. The best candidates for this procedure are men in relatively good shape who desire a strong muscular look.

Chest Implants

Chest or Pectoral augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that places solid silicone implants under the chest muscle masculinizing the upper body. The size and shape of the implant is determined to obtain the most natural look and at the same time give the patient their desired aesthetic result. Alternatively, a stronger masculine chest may be obtained with liposculpture and/or both.

For special cases as the enlargement of the male breasts, or Gynecomastia, due to a hormonal imbalance which can be present in one or both breasts, Liposuction or a reduction surgery usually is recommended.

This surgery is performed with local anesthesia lasting approximately 1 to 2 hrs. Usually within 1 to 2 weeks the bruising and soreness will be gone. Full recovery should take approximately between 6 to 8 weeks.

Calf augmentation

In an article published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal (Benslimane F. 2012) the legs of models, athletes and photographs were analyzed to determine the features that make legs look more attractive. The most important factor determined was the straightness of the legs from the thighs to the ankle. Calf augmentation will contribute significantly to improve leg attractiveness by adjusting size, volume and balance to the lower leg. Male legs exhibit greater muscular definition than female so that the superior calf is bulk and angular. Using both calf augmentation and liposcupluturing of calf and thigh, the leg straightness is adjusted increasing it´s attractiveness.

The use of implants is chosen to increase muscle bulk or definition, especially to the upper, inner calf. The silicone implants used are anatomically shaped and are placed over the muscle below the fascia (i.e. a thick fibrous membrane that encases de muscle). The procedure is carried out using local anaesthesia and minimal sedation. It is performed a small incision (1 to 1.5 inches) behind the knee and takes approximately half an hour.
