Liposuction for Men

Liposuction has become a very popular procedure for men interested in removing localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. The most common areas include the abdomen, waist, chin, and neck. Liposuction is also an excellent treatment for a condition called "gynecomastia"), which refers to excess fat around the breasts. During the surgical procedure, fat is suctioned out through a small, hollow tube inserted through one or more tiny incisions. The incisions are usually hidden in natural body creases and leave nearly unnoticeable scars. The best candidates for liposuction are those of relatively normal weight with isolated pockets of excess fat. The patient must be physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in his expectations. Most importantly, he should have firm, elastic skin, as loose skin will not reshape to the body's contour. For additional information on liposuction, please consult your plastic surgeon.
