Liposuction for Men
There are a number of different liposuction techniques practiced by the surgeons at Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center. In general, since men have more fibrous fat than women, ultra-sound or laser liposuctions are the techniques of choice. Both “melt” the fat, thus making it easier to remove.
Benefits
“Love Handles” -- the term may sound affectionate, but most men loath the troublesome fat that seems to grow out of their sides as they age. This is why this area, along with the chest and abdomen, are the most common spots for liposuction in men.
Liposuction for Men
Liposuction is a procedure in which a small, thin tube known as a cannula is used by the plastic surgeon to suction fat in the targeted area through small incisions in the skin. It is currently the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world according to the latest figures from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS). Simple and safe, liposuction in men is extremely effective at reducing specific pockets of fat and re-contouring the body. If you suffer from love handles, chest fat or surface abdominal fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, then liposuction could be your answer.

Recovery time for liposuction is usually quick, with most patients returning to work in just a few days. A compression garment must be worn for about a month, but it’s easily hidden under clothes. So, if you’ve got pesky areas of fat that won’t budge, come in for a liposuction consultation. It could change your life. Or at least make those golf shirts hang a little better!
FAQ
Liposuction for men is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, and chest. It is typically performed to improve the contour and shape of the body and can be a good option for men who are at a healthy weight but struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
The best candidates for liposuction are men who are at a stable weight and have good skin elasticity. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and it is not recommended for men who are significantly overweight or have loose, sagging skin. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help determine if liposuction is a good option for you.
Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon will make small incisions in the targeted areas. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through the incisions and used to suction out the fat. The procedure usually takes a few hours to complete, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual's healing ability. Most men can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas for a few weeks after the procedure. A compression garment may be worn to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Most men can return to work and resume normal activities within a week or two after the procedure.
The fat cells removed during liposuction will not grow back, so the results can be permanent as long as the individual maintains a healthy diet and exercise routine. However, it is important to note that liposuction does not prevent future weight gain, and it is possible to develop new pockets of fat in the treated areas if weight is not maintained.
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and uneven or lumpy results. Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon can help minimize these risks.

Eyelid Surgery for Men
Sagging skin beneath the eyes, drooping of the upper lid beneath the brow bone, and crow’s feet are typically the first signs of aging on the male face. While exercise and good nutrition can keep your body young and supple, and proper skin care, including the regular use of sunscreen, can help maintain the smooth texture and soft feel that is associated with youthful skin, the pull of gravity is unavoidable.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
In the past, if you were someone who suffered from too much body hair on your chest, stomach, back or thighs, your only option was to shave it, wax it or zap it, none of which gave any kind of permanent result. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, can remove or thin your hair with long lasting, almost permanent results, without damaging or irritating the skin.
Botox & Fillers for Men
Once mainly in the domain of women, wrinkle relaxers are finally being embraced by men. In fact Botox®, the most well known wrinkle relaxer, is currently the most popular minimally invasive physician administered aesthetic procedure for men, and not without reason.
