Body Masculinization Surgery

How Body Masculinizing Contouring Works

Given that fat distribution between the male and female body is very different, body contouring can help anyone to close the fat distribution gap and achieve a body that is more masculine. When body contouring surgical procedures are used for this end goal, they are known collectively as body masculinization surgery, which is tpyically made up of the following:

• Liposuction: This surgical procedure consists of removing fat from certain parts of the body that are typically resistant to diet and exercise, such as the hips, thighs, and buttocks among other places in order to achieve a more traditionally masculine appearance.

• Tummy tuck: Abdominoplasty—known as a"tummy tuck"—is a masculinizing body contouring procedure used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. It involves removing excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the abdominal wall muscles and fascia.

• Brachioplasty: More commonly known as an arm lift, brachioplasty is a surgical procedure used in body masculization to reshape and provide more defined upper arms as well as the adjacent area of chest wall.

Not all bodies are the same though. This is why body masculinization surgery should be tailor-fit for the needs and goals of each individual. Some may succeed on liposuction alone in achieving their desired look, while some may need additional body contouring treatments such as the tummy tuck or Brachioplasty.
