Just for Men

Body Contouring

Does your workout routine still leave you with stubborn problem areas that just won’t go away? This isn’t your average fitness shortcut—it’s a modern, results-driven solution built specifically for men who want to look sharper, leaner, and more defined. Whether it’s stubborn belly fat, love handles that won’t go away, or loose skin that holds you back from a confident, athletic look, body contouring helps you achieve the physique you’ve been working for.

Think of it as next-level sculpting: technology that targets what diet and exercise can’t, giving you a more toned, chiseled, and masculine shape. From boardroom to beach season, this treatment keeps you looking strong, sharp, and confident—because today’s modern man deserves more than just “average results.”

What Is Body Contouring?

It is a highly customized cosmetic treatment designed to reshape, sculpt, and redefine the male body using advanced surgical or non-surgical methods. Unlike basic weight loss, which simply reduces overall size, body contouring takes a precision approach—targeting stubborn fat, tightening loose skin, and enhancing muscle definition to bring out a sharper, stronger, and more athletic look. It’s not about just losing pounds; it’s about upgrading your proportions, highlighting your natural frame, and creating balance in the areas that matter most.

From chiseling the abdomen for a defined core, slimming down the flanks (love handles) for a cleaner V-shape, tightening the chest for a more masculine silhouette, to shaping the arms and thighs for added tone, body contouring helps achieve results that diet and exercise alone often can’t deliver. Think of it as the ultimate body upgrade—transforming effort into aesthetics and giving you the confidence to look as powerful as you feel.

Benefits of Body Contouring

Achieve a More Defined Physique:
Body contouring helps men obtain sharper body lines and muscle definition, especially in the abdomen and chest, where stubborn fat often remains despite workouts..​
Boost Confidence and Self-Esteem:
By eliminating trouble spots and creating a more athletic look, body contouring allows men to feel more comfortable in fitted clothing and during social or professional activities.
Long-Lasting Results with a Healthy Lifestyle:
Once fat cells are removed and the skin is tightened, the results are permanent, provided the patient maintains a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.

What to Expect With Body Contouring

Initial Consultation

During the first visit, Dr. McIntosh assesses the patient’s body type, discusses goals, and determines the best approach. Men often seek natural results that enhance masculinity rather than drastic reshaping.

Choosing the Right Approach

Depending on body goals, your surgeon may recommend liposuction, tummy tuck, chest contouring, or a combination. Non-surgical options like skin tightening or fat freezing may also be considered.

Pre-Operative Preparations

Patients are advised to stop smoking, avoid certain medications, and undergo basic health checks. Dr. McIntosh may request that men maintain a stable weight before surgery for optimal results.

Surgical Steps

The procedure varies based on the chosen treatment. Liposuction removes stubborn fat, while excision techniques tighten loose skin. Advanced methods ensure precise sculpting to highlight natural muscle lines.

Post-Operative Care

After surgery, patients may need compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing. Most men can return to light activity within a week, with full results visible after a few months.​

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do results from body contouring last for men?

Results are generally long-lasting, as removed fat cells do not grow back. However, weight gain, poor diet, or lack of exercise can affect outcomes. Maintaining a stable lifestyle is essential for preserving the sculpted look.

Is body contouring painful?

Discomfort varies depending on the type of procedure. Surgical contouring involves some soreness, swelling, and bruising, but these typically subside within weeks. Non-surgical treatments usually have minimal downtime and discomfort.

Who is an ideal candidate for male body contouring?

The best candidates are men who are near their ideal body weight but struggle with localized fat or sagging skin. They should be healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results.

How soon can I get back to the gym after surgery?

Most men can resume light activities within 1–2 weeks. Strenuous workouts or weightlifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks to allow proper healing. Dr. McIntosh provides a tailored recovery plan for each patient.
