Boardshort Body Tuck
Concerns about “beach ready” or “bedroom ready“ bodies are not relegated to the female gender—men also strive to achieve lean, contoured physiques that they can feel confident showing off at the beach. These desirably chiseled body contours become increasingly difficult to attain as men get older, and their youthfully flat abdomens begin to sag and lose their lean, tight look. Just as women undergo many changes during menopause, aging men also experience a period of hormonal fluctuations, and one of the casualties of these hormonal shifts is that the deep abdominal muscle layer, the fascia, weakens and pooches out, and the pubic region sags down. The Boardshort Body Tuck for Men is ideally suited for in-shape, physically active men who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their love handles and stubborn abdominal fat pockets, and who would benefit from a few, subtle aesthetic modifications to achieve a physique they can feel proud of.

Boardshort Body Tuck & Tummy Tuck Differences
In the past, many men have eschewed traditional abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures because of scarring concerns associated with the long, hip-to-hip incision required for this procedure. The Boardshort Body Tuck provides a less invasive option for men seeking to improve the appearance of their lower abdomens without a large unsightly scar, and without the need for a lengthy post-procedural recovery period (Recovery is only 7-10 days, compared to 14 days required by traditional tummy tucks).
Procedure Overview
During the Boardshort Body Tuck procedure, Dr. Moelleken works through a limited incision in the pubic area of the abdomen to tighten the weakened fascia and elevate the loose skin. He then excises the sagging skin and excess fat, thereby creating a flatter, tighter, and more youthfully-contoured stomach.
Advantages & Benefits
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, shorter incision, and reduced recovery time, the Boardshort Body Tuck also improves circulation and decreases time spent in surgery, making it a safer procedure with a lower risk of complications than traditional abdominoplasty. Dr. Moelleken can safely perform this surgery in conjunction with ancillary body contouring procedures (i.e. liposuction) to maximize the patient’s results.
Excess Skin Removal
The Boardshort Body Tuck is also an appropriate option for male patients who are unhappy with the appearance of large, sagging skin folds in the abdominal area—a common after-effect of losing a significant amount of weight in a short period of time. Although these patients may require a slightly longer incision and recovery period than with the standard “Board Short” procedure, most of our patients would agree that the renewed sense of confidence they feel strolling along the beaches, pools, and boardwalks makes it all worthwhile.
Additional Benefits
The unintended consequence of the Boardshort Body Tuck, Dr. Moelleken’s patients tell him, is that the penis appears larger. This undoubtedly results from removing loose lower abdominal skin that hangs over the base of the penis, causing it to appear shorter. While Dr. Moelleken does not recommend this be performed just to increase apparent penis size, it certainly doesn’t hurt to reduce the extra skin handing from above!
