What is a Daddy Do-Over Procedure?

Why did the man schedule a male liposuction procedure? Because he wanted to turn his "dad bod" into a "rad bod" without breaking a sweat.

Jokes aside, for the majority of history, men were rarely seen as customers of cosmetic surgery. But, norms have evolved, and men look forward to looking their best.

A daddy do-over is a mix of cosmetic surgery procedures designed to contour areas of the body that lose their masculine appearance with age. Common areas treated are the chest, abdomen, and arms.

We understand that being a father is a life-changing experience, and it's normal to have such a responsibility take a toll on your physical appearance. That said, here are some key details you should know about this customizable body sculpting treatment.

What is a Daddy Do-Over?

To be clear, daddy makeovers aren't just for dads. Men of all ages can get this treatment, and various body contouring needs can be addressed. Generally speaking, the treatment involves fat removal and skin tightening anywhere from the chin to the ankle.

If you're a man who has loose belly skin or excess chest fat and would like to become slimmer, for example, the daddy-do-over will help.

Procedures in a Daddy Do-over

The daddy do-over treats areas of the body that lose their firm appearance or develop fat with age. These tend to be the face, abdomen, and chest but can involve any part of the body.

• Facial rejuvenation procedures: Neck lifts, face lifts, and chin liposuction can all address signs of facial aging by removing fat and tightening skin. Other facial rejuvenation procedures can also include fat transfers or fillers. 

• Abdominal tightening: Whether your abdomen muscles have separated or you have excess fat, abdomen-centric procedures such as tummy tuck surgery or minimally invasive skin tightening can help. 

• Chest contouring: Gynecomastia fat removal surgery or other forms of male breast reduction are often included in a daddy do-over.

• Fat removal: Men are genetically prone to developing fat around their waist, love handles, and chest, so these are commonly targeted for fat reduction. Other typical areas for male liposuction include the chin, thighs, and arms. 

While these are the main areas treated, different liposuction techniques and surgical procedures can be implemented. These makeover procedures are highly customizable for patients. In fact, a male BBL can even be performed to deliver one's body goals if desired. 

How to Prepare for a Daddy Do-Over

Patients must first understand that male liposuction procedures are not weight loss alternatives. If you are significantly overweight, you may not be eligible for any form of cosmetic surgery due to safety reasons.

Committing to a healthier lifestyle will help you prepare for a daddy do-over procedure. Dieting and exercise are great habits, as they are necessary to maintain your new results. Plastic surgeons will also prepare you with the following processes:

• You will take lab tests and undergo a medical evaluation to confirm that you are eligible for male plastic surgery procedures.

• You will be asked to stop smoking, given that it can tamper with wound healing and increase infection.

• You will be asked to stop blood thinning medications such as aspirin because it can increase bleeding.

Also, ensure that someone can drive you to and from the surgery.

Recovery for a Daddy Do-Over

Given that a daddy do-over combines multiple surgical procedures into one session, the amount of recovery you will have to do will vary. That said, with approaches like AirSculpt, you'll enjoy just one to two days of downtime rather than the several weeks standard after invasive liposuction or tummy tucks. 

During recovery, you will be given compression garments around the treated areas to help counteract swelling and bruising. Final results will be noticeable around the two to three-month mark.
