Traditionally, by far, the majority of tummy tuck patients have been women. However, this trend is slowly starting to change. In fact, more and more men are getting tummy tucks. Hence, we will discuss why this is happening in this article.

Of course, women are usually the ones who need tummy tucks. This stems from the fact that a pregnancy is very difficult on a woman body. After carrying a baby for nine months, it is very difficult for the woman’s skin to retract back to its pre-pregnancy form.

However, like we alluded to earlier, there is an increasing trend of more and more men getting tummy tucks. For those of us who like statistics, in the year 2007, there were over 5600 men who had a tummy tuck, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

There are two main reasons why a man would undergo tummy tuck surgery. These reasons are significant weight loss and as a result of aging.

Obviously, if a man loses a large amount of weight (just picture the Biggest Loser winners), he would definitely need a tummy tuck. Otherwise, he would have pounds and pounds of sagging excess skin to tow around.

In addition to weight loss, an older man is likely to get a tummy tuck to undo the damage done by aging. Regardless of how much we try to postpone the inevitable, the fact is that many men will develop excess skin in their abdominal area.

Now that you know why a man would get a tummy tuck, another consideration for him is how he plans to pay for the surgery. Since the surgery can cost in excess of $9000, most men simply do not have this much lying around. As a result, many surgeons offer financing options to their patients.

In conclusion, there are two main reasons why a man would get a tummy tuck. Since we believe that these two reasons will continue to exist, one can only logically assume that more and more men will continue to have tummy tucks.
