After age twenty-five, some men gain one pound per year. Unfortunately, these extra pounds are almost always put on around the waist. New liposuction
(LYE-poh-suck-shun) techniques have been developed for the removal of this fatty tissue through tiny punctures in the skin. This pressurized infusion technique involves injecting a solution containing adrenaline (ah-DREN-ah-lyn) and a local anesthetic under the skin to reduce blood loss and minimize pain. This solution expands and magnifies the fat cells, making removal of a larger volume of fat cells possible without the dangers of blood transfusions. Since the body does not regenerate fat cells after puberty, the male "spare tire" is literally removed for life. Special instruments are used, and the surgery can be done as an outpatient. An extended consultation with an expert plastic surgeon familiar with these advanced techniques can be helpful to identify your special needs and goals. Computer imaging can also be helpful in this consultation. For additional information, please consult your health care professional.
