Daddy Makeover In Miami
Although a father does not carry and birth children, raising kids and starting a family can take a toll on his body. Men deserve to feel comfortable with their bodies and obtain the appearance they have always wanted, and plastic surgery can help them do just that.
What Is A Daddy Makeover?
A Daddy Makeover combines multiple plastic surgery procedures to help men achieve their ideal physique. This combination procedure is similar to a Mommy Makeover, which is designed to enhance a woman’s appearance after pregnancy and childbirth. However, Daddy Makeover procedures target concerns specific to male patients.

Daddy Makeover Can Correct:
Loose Abdominal Skin And Muscles And Repairing Abdominal Muscles
Even with maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly, you may notice that your abdomen does not look the way you want it to. You may be at or near your ideal weight but still experience excess skin on your belly.
Tummy tuck surgery works to remove excess skin, specifically after weight loss, from the abdomen and waistline to achieve a slim, firm appearance. It also tightens the abdominal muscles for a stronger, more toned core.
Gynecomastia (Enlarged Male Breasts)
Gynecomastia is a condition that causes men to develop excess fat and/or glandular tissue on their chest, giving the appearance of male breasts. This condition can lead to psychological and physical discomfort. This excess fat can be impossible to remove without surgery.
Gynecomastia surgery works to remove the chest’s excess tissue and skin to provide men with a firmer, more masculine chest contour.
What Is Included In A Daddy Makeover?
A Daddy Makeover is a combination of one or more of the following male body contouring procedures that provides patients with a slimmer, more masculine appearance.
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) incisions depend on if you are undergoing a full or mini tummy tuck. For a full tummy tuck, an incision is made from hip bone to hip bone, running beneath the abdomen. A second incision is made around the belly button. Mini tummy tuck surgery requires shorter incisions.
Your surgeon will remove and trim excess skin from the abdomen. He will then tighten the abdominal muscles below the navel.
If needed, liposuction techniques can be used to remove larger amounts of fat from the abdominal area.
Male Breast Reduction Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) can be performed using an excision method, liposuction, or a combination of both.
Surgical (Excision) Method
This method is beneficial for men suffering from excess breast tissue due to steroid use and hormonal changes.
Liposuction
Ultrasonic liposuction is beneficial for men who have excess fat on their chest. The ultrasound breaks up glandular tissue and allows contouring of the entire chest.
Daddy Makeover Concerns
How Long Is Daddy Makeover Recovery?
During recovery from your Daddy Makeover, you should spend a significant amount of time resting to let your body properly heal. You will be provided compression garments to wear around the surgical areas for the first few days. You should plan to take one to two weeks off work based on how strenuous your job is. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at least six weeks.
How Long Is Downtime After A Daddy Makeover?
Since the Daddy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home and assist in your recovery. You may experience soreness and discomfort for the first week or so. Pain can be alleviated with over-the-counter or prescription medication.
Will I Have Scars After A Daddy Makeover?
Your Daddy Makeover scars will depend on the surgical techniques used for each procedure. Scarring is inevitable at the incision locations. However, your surgeon will work to conceal these scars as much as possible, and scars typically fade over time.
With gynecomastia surgery, there will be scars around the areolas or at the liposuction site. Tummy tuck scars will be placed at the lower abdomen, above the groin.
How Much Does A Daddy Makeover Cost In Miami?
Daddy Makeover cost depends on the surgical techniques used, the amount of correction needed, and the type of procedures you undergo. The cost of a Daddy Makeover also depends on surgeon fees, anesthesia fees, and the location of the plastic surgery practice.
A consultation with Careaga Plastic Surgery will help you determine a more specific financial estimate. Plastic surgery financing options are also available if needed.
