The Liposuction Procedure

The liposuction procedure begins with making incisions in the treatment area and inserting a specialized tube in those incisions to loosen the fat. Afterward, a small attachment on the cannula tube vacuums the displaced fat from the body.

Once the fat is entirely gone, we closes the incisions using sutures. Recovery time for the procedure is usually between three and five days. Male liposuction is available for a wide variety of body areas that may carry excess fat, including:

  • Back
  • Arms
  • Abdomen and waist
  • Thighs
  • Chest
  • Cheeks, neck, and chin
  • Ankles and calves

The only difference between male liposuction and female liposuction is the body areas most commonly targeted by patients. For males, the most popular sites include the lower abdomen, upper arms, and waist. Results typically become apparent after any residual swelling has subsided.

Benefits of Undergoing the Procedure

Our cosmetic surgeons can use liposuction to improve your body proportions and help you achieve your ideal figure. Though many people only think of liposuction’s physical and visual benefits, the operation also offers emotional and health benefits.

After undergoing liposuction, many male patients report increased confidence, self-esteem, and comfort when wearing clothing. In addition, liposuction surgery could improve your health by preventing the development of or diminishing the effects of diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction?

During a one-on-one consultation, one of our surgeons in Virginia Beach will help you determine whether male liposuction is the best option for you. Since liposuction surgery does not tighten the skin, you must have good skin elasticity so your skin can adhere around new contours. Additionally, before the operation, a you must achieve the maximum possible weight loss with diet and exercise.

Generally, liposuction patients should maintain a stable weight for three to six months before the procedure. Further, since liposuction is not a weight-loss solution, your stable weight should be close to your optimal weight. Men with heart disease, a weak immune system, diabetes, or other significant health difficulties are not ideal candidates for liposuction. However, you could still discuss your cosmetic options with a surgeon.
