ABDOMINOPLASTY KNOXVILLE, TN | DR. DAVID LO, MD

UNDERSTANDING MALE ABDOMINOPLASTY IN KNOXVILLE

Many men struggle to achieve a toned and tight midsection despite
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Factors such as age, weight changes,
and genetics can significantly impact abdominal appearance. Dr. David
Lo specializes in tailored abdominoplasty procedures designed
specifically for male anatomical characteristics.

TYPES OF MALE ABDOMINOPLASTY PROCEDURES

FULL TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

 	* Removes excess fat and skin from midsection and flanks
	* Improves both upper and lower abdomen contours
	* Restores weakened or separated muscles
	* Creates a smoother, firmer abdominal profile
	* Incision placed below belt line
	* Average procedure time: 3-4 hours

ABDOMINOPLASTY WITH LIPOSUCTION

While abdominoplasty effectively eliminates loose skin and tightens
stomach muscles, it may not address fat deposits on abdominal sides.
Dr. Lo often combines abdominoplasty with targeted liposuction to
achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

SPECIALIZED TECHNIQUE: ABDOMINAL ETCHING

For men struggling to reveal underlying muscle definition, abdominal
etching offers a precise liposuction technique. This procedure sculpts
fat to mimic "six-pack abs" by carefully removing superficial fat
layers. Dr. Lo assesses body fat content to determine candidacy for
this advanced technique.

CONSULTATION AND CANDIDACY

During the initial consultation, Dr. Lo conducts a comprehensive
evaluation, examining the abdomen in standing and reclining positions.
He assesses fat cell distribution, skin laxity, and overall health to
determine individual surgical suitability. Patients with significant
intra-abdominal fat might benefit more from diet, exercise, or weight
loss interventions.

SURGICAL EXPERTISE

As part of the region's largest multi-specialty surgical group, Dr. Lo
brings extensive training from prestigious institutions like Duke
University, Stanford University, and Emory University. His broad
experience ensures patients receive sophisticated, personalized body
contouring solutions.

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Highly individualized surgical approach
	* Tailored to specific male anatomical requirements
	* Focus on natural, proportional results
