Liposuction For Men

September 10, 2015 | Uncategorized

In its beginnings, it was believed that plastic surgery was designed for women, but nowadays cosmetic surgery is used for both genders, and both men and women undergo it. Men have realized that they may benefit from plastic surgery too.

Liposuction is a plastic surgery that helps men to improve the shape and contour of their abdomen, so they may look more athletic, lean, and attractive. Liposuction is the most popular plastic surgery in the United States.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a plastic surgery that allows removing the undesirable fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, from any part of the body. This technique offers the advantage that the removed fat will not accumulate in the same part of the body in the future; in other terms, if the patient gains weight, the fat will be redistributed.

In the case of the men, the most common treated areas are the neck, breast (to eliminate gynecomastia or large breast in men), abdomen and waist (commonly called “love handles”), and the back.

Who is an ideal patient for a Male Liposuction?

The ideal patients for this procedure are those physically and mentally healthy men, with a relatively adequate weight, and areas with fat difficult to remove with diet and exercise.

How much does a Male Liposuction cost?

The price may vary according to the treated area, but in average the price may range between $2500 and $7000. This range of cost doesn’t include extra fees like anaesthetics fees, hospital fees, among others. Usually, this type of surgery isn’t covered by insurances, this is because it is an elective and cosmetic procedure.

What should the patient do before a Male Liposuction?

During the first consultation, it is important for the patient to explain his desired outcomes to the plastic surgeon; also, all his medical record including all the diseases and current medication. The plastic surgeon will examine the patient to determine the areas of the body that need liposuction; he/she will take pictures to show an approximation of the results and to compare with the new body after the procedure.

The man should avoid drinking alcohol, smoking or taking certain medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen at least two weeks before the surgery, they can alter blood.

What is the general procedure of Male Liposuction?

Usually, the patient is under general anesthesia, but when liposuction will be performed in small areas the patient may be under local anesthesia and sedation. The surgery may last from 1 to 4 hours depending on the amount of fat that will be removed and the extension of the areas that will be treated.

The plastic surgeon makes a small incision in the areas to be treated, after that he/she will insert a cannula or micro-cannula, connected to a vacuum system, under the skin to extract out the excess of fat.

There are many different liposuction techniques. In some of them the surgeon may use saline solution, lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine or adrenaline (vessel-constrictor) subcutaneously in the area to be suctioned; this helps to make the fat deposits easier to remove, minimize bleeding, bruising and post-operative edema. In other techniques, the surgeon doesn’t use fluids (dry liposuction). Similarly, the plastic surgeon may use laser or ultrasound to destroy the fat deposits.

What are the postoperative cares after a Male Liposuction?

According to the extension of the treated areas the patient could go home the same day (small areas), or spend at least one night in the hospital (extent areas). During the first days after the procedure, the patient should take rest at home with limited movements. Likewise, the man should use during many weeks after the surgery a support garment or elastic bands, depending on the area where the liposuction was made, in order to bring support to the affected skin.

Oral medications will be used for pain (analgesics or painkillers), and also antibiotics immediately after surgery. The physical activity should be increased progressively, avoiding strenuous exercises for at least a month after the procedure. Sun exposure should also be avoided during the healing period, this could leave visible scars.

What are the results from a Male Liposuction?

When a man undergoes a liposuction the results are visible immediately; however, the final results are evident after the healing process is complete, approximately after 3 months. The eliminated fat doesn’t grow up again in the same area of the body treated with liposuction, so if the patient’s weight varies, the fat will redistribute.

What are the side effects, risks and complications of a Male Liposuction?

All surgeries carry risks of any complication; however when it is performed by a surgeon with experience the risks diminish. Among the complications that the patient may suffer infection at the operated area, alterations in the healing process, clots (of fat or blood), seroma or hematoma, burns, organ perforation, nerve or tissue damage,bad reaction to anaesthesia, irregularities in the final appearance are included.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
