Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck

Beverly Hills

Introduction to Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck

Gender-affirming surgery is about aligning your body with your identity, and a gender-affirming tummy tuck can play a transformative role in that process.

At Dr. Andre Marshall’s Beverly Hills practice, this procedure allows his Los Angeles area patients to achieve a flatter, smoother, and more contoured abdominal area that reflects their gender identity and personal goals. Whether you are seeking to enhance the masculine definition of your midsection or create a softer, curvier profile, a gender-affirming tummy tuck offers a reliable and lasting solution.

What is a Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck?

A gender-affirming tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from your abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, this procedure is tailored to the patient’s gender expression goals. It allows Dr. Marshall to sculpt the abdominal contour in a way that supports masculine lines, feminine curves, or a more neutral, streamlined shape, depending on your personal vision.

For transmasculine patients, the goal may be a flatter, more toned abdomen that emphasizes a masculine silhouette. For transfeminine patients, the focus may be on creating gentle curves and a smoother waistline.

By combining skin removal, fat contouring, and muscle tightening, Dr. Marshall is able to deliver a more defined and harmonious midsection that complements the rest of his clients’ bodies.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a gender-affirming tummy tuck?

Ideal candidates are adults in the Los Angeles area who are in good health, can maintain a stable weight, and are looking to improve the shape and contour of their abdomen. Clients who have undergone hormone therapy, weight changes, or past procedures may benefit from the skin tightening and structural support the tummy tuck tends to provide.

Clients with loose skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or residual fat deposits benefit most from this procedure. Skin quality and elasticity are evaluated during consultation, and in some cases, additional procedures may also be recommended to achieve the best results.

What Are the Benefits of a Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck?

Dr. Marshall’s gender-affirming tummy tuck removes excess skin, reshapes the abdominal contour, and strengthens the underlying muscles for improved posture, a more defined torso, better-fitting clothing, and a silhouette that aligns more closely with their identity.

By creating results that look natural and proportionate, a gender-affirming tummy tuck can be a key step in a broader transition journey or a stand-alone enhancement to reclaim your midsection.

What’s the First Step?

The journey begins with a private consultation at Dr. Marshall’s Beverly Hills office. This visit is an opportunity to share your goals, discuss concerns, and explore how a gender-affirming tummy tuck can help you get the results you want. Dr. Marshall will conduct an evaluation, review your relevant medical history, and discuss the best approach for you.

Your consultation also includes a discussion of realistic expectations, potential risks, and the recovery process. Once you feel informed and confident, the surgical plan is customized, and a procedure date is scheduled. Preoperative instructions and preparation are provided to ensure a smooth experience on the day of surgery. To schedule your consultation, call the office at (424) 437-3200.

What to Expect on the Day of Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck Surgery

Once you are fully asleep under general anesthesia, Dr. Marshall begins the procedure by making incisions tailored to your body and the areas being treated. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the underlying abdominal muscles will be tightened to enhance contour and create a more defined midsection. The remaining skin is smoothed and repositioned, and the incisions are closed. A temporary drain is placed to help reduce any fluid accumulation.

Following surgery, you will recover under supervision in a comfortable setting, with detailed instructions for home care and activity restrictions.

Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Gender Affirming Tummy Tuck Care

Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected, particularly in the first few days. Patients are encouraged to walk lightly to promote circulation while avoiding strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks.

Compression garments should be worn to help support healing, reduce swelling, and help you maintain your new abdominal contour. Most of Dr. Marshall’s patients return to office work within 3 to 4 weeks, with full physical activity gradually resuming over 6 to 8 weeks.
