Our society places a high value on looking young and fit. These days, men of all ages are requesting plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. The ideal male body shape is considered to be trim and athletic-looking, with broad shoulders and chest, a flat abdomen and a narrow hip-thigh area. However, as men age, areas of fat tend to accumulate around the abdomen, the flanks (“love handles”), the breast area (a condition called gynecomastia) and along the chin and neck.
Women aren’t the only ones who want to look great! Contemporary Plastic Surgery offers several procedures that will slim or reshape a man’s chest area, upper arms, back, abdomen, face and neck. If you’re a man who wants to look leaner and fitter, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Doolabh to learn about the available treatments that might work best for your body contouring goals.

Liposuction for Men
Liposuction can help slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving body contours and proportion. Men sometimes seek liposuction to remove excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. In many cases, liposuction alone can effectively correct these problem areas.
What liposuction can treat
- Thighs
- Hips and buttocks
- Abdomen and waist
- Upper arms
- Back
- Inner knee
- Chest area
- Cheeks, chin and neck
Men retain their skin elasticity longer than women do, and the areas of fat beneath the skin tend to be firmer and more vascular than those in women. Because of these and other factors, liposuction in men is usually very effective.
CoolSculpting for Men
The CoolSculpting® procedure is one of the most popular body contouring procedures among men. CoolSculpting® eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. Men, just like women, can fall victim to diet and exercise-resistant fat cells. This resistance means that men can also store fat in stubborn areas like their belly, flanks, submental region (chin and neck) back, thighs, and other problem areas.
CoolSculpting® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment process that uses controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate fat. This type of body contouring treatment is ideal for men who cannot afford to take time off work for a lengthy recovery following the fat reduction procedure. Men also like how CoolSculpting® mimics the appearance of natural weight loss.
Men get CoolSculpting® to treat areas such as:
- Love handles
- Stomach
- Under the chin
- Chest
How Does CoolSculpting® Work for Men?
The patented technology used for the CoolSculpting® process is known as Cryolipolysis, which refers to freezing fat cells while preserving other local tissue. This process works because the creators noted that fat cells freeze at temperatures above those that would damage muscle tissue, skin, or organs. By precisely delivering temperatures in the range that kill fat cells, the CoolSculpting® process reduces fat without harming the rest of the body.
In both men and women, the treatment applicators direct cold temperatures to specific areas of the body. These target sites have their fat cells frozen, which eventually die. Since the process of removing the dead fat cells from the body takes time, the results typically take one to three months to appear.
Tummy Tuck for Men
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a common body contouring procedure that is not limited only to women. A growing number of men are choosing to have a tummy tuck, and plastic surgery procedures overall are becoming more common in the male demographic. With the number of weight loss surgeries on the rise, more men are choosing a tummy tuck in Jacksonville to tighten and tone their midsection.
If you’re thinking about a tummy tuck to improve the appearance of your abdomen, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Doolabh at Contemporary Plastic Surgery in Jacksonville, FL. Dr. Doolabh is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience with male abdominal cosmetic procedures.
The abdominoplasty procedure removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen while tightening the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen or unsightly navel, and provide waistline definition. Men who are in relatively good shape but who are bothered by large fat deposits in the lower abdomen or skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise may be good candidates for this procedure. Patients who have minimal excess skin or only lower abdominal tone that is an issue may be candidates for a mini-tuck. Additionally, a tummy tuck can address stretch marks and surplus skin below the belly button in the lower abdominal region.
Male patients often have a tummy tuck performed in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures like liposuction and Renuvion. Dr. Doolabh can help explain all the options and design a personalized treatment plan for your body contouring goals.
Upper Arm Lift for Men
Fluctuations in weight, growing older and heredity can cause a man’s upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. The upper arm, particularly the underside of the upper arm, is an area of the male body that can be challenging to improve through diet or exercise alone. Upper arm contouring has evolved with the marked progress in the surgical treatment of obesity and liposuction techniques.
An upper arm lift is a surgical procedure that:
- Reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward
- Tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm
- Reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region
Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.
