Many men spend hours at the gym every week attempting to create firm, chiseled chest and abdominal contours. Unfortunately, as desirable as these features are, they are not easy to come by, and for some men, the ability to define their abdomen and chest is an almost impossible task. Sculpting and toning these areas is as much about genetics as it is about dedication and sweat, and if the genes are not there, it may not matter how many weights you lift or what kind of diet you adhere to. For men struggling to achieve the physique they want, plastic surgery may be able to lend a hand. Cosmetic procedures like liposuction, chest contouring, and tummy tuck surgery can guarantee what the gym cannot: results.
A Cosmetic Surgery Guide for Masculine Musculature
Slim Down
A lot of active men still have difficulty losing pockets of fat around the flanks, abdomen, and chest. This can contribute to the appearance of being “flabbier” than you are, and can stand in the way of achieving the contoured midsection you want. Liposuction permanently removes stubborn, diet and exercise-resistant fat cells by suctioning them out through a small, hollow tube. This procedure is ideal for active men that are near to their ideal weight but have pockets of fat that they simply cannot get rid of through non-surgical means. Since liposuction removes fat cells, and fat cells cannot reproduce, this procedure offers lasting results, especially when a healthy lifestyle is maintained afterward.
Define Your Features
While liposuction is ideal for slimming the midsection, additional procedures can be performed to sculpt and contour the body. Chest contouring uses a combination of liposuction and skin excision to enhance the contour of the chest. Many men experience excess fatty tissue around the breast area. This can be a response to diet and lifestyle, or it can be due to genetics. Chest contouring allows your surgeon to remove localized pockets of fatty tissue around the chest to highlight a masculine chest contour. For men who wish to get rid of a significant amount of fat, or for older men whose skin may not have as much elasticity, skin tightening through excision can be performed.
Tummy tuck surgery restores a more athletic and masculine appearance to the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening underlying abdominal muscles. Tummy tuck surgery, particularly when combined with liposuction, allows men to achieve a tighter, more sculpted midsection.
While some men can achieve the “gym look” just by working out, it is not a possibility for everyone. For more information about any of these procedures, contact Dr. Bonaldi to set up a consultation by calling (775) 828-7400 or by filling out our online contact form.
