Liposuction for Men

Inherited traits often prevent men from achieving their desired body shape. Even years of cardio and weight lifting may not yield the athletic build that is desired by many men. In particular, the “love-handle” region is a problem area for many men. For many men, the answer is liposuction, a surgical procedure that extracts fat from specific areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, stomach, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, and calves. Following the liposuction procedure at our Indianapolis plastic surgery practice, men can expect a slimmer, stronger shape.

The best male candidates for liposuction are those men who have areas of fat deposits with good skin tone. This allows the treated areas to “snap back” or re-contour, after the fat is removed. Fortunately, most men do have this type of elasticity in their skin. Those with pre-existing skin laxity may require other surgical procedures, such as tummy tuck or facelift, to remove the skin and excess fat. Approximate cost for liposuction for men:

Male Liposuction Surgery

The plastic surgeon begins the liposuction procedure by inserting a cannula (a slim, hollow tube) into tiny incisions near the area to be re-contoured. The cannula is moved through the layers of tissue and extracts the necessary fat. Once the fat and tissue have been removed, the plastic surgeon stitches the incision.

After Male Liposuction Surgery

Following male liposuction surgery at our Indianapolis practice, an elastic bandage is applied in order to reduce swelling. Most men return to work after a few days. Moderate swelling and bruising usually resolve within a few weeks of the liposuction procedure. A return to full activities can be expected within two weeks. Temporary numbness to the treated areas will resolve over several weeks.
