Liposuction for Men

If you’re struggling to get rid of stubborn fat in certain areas of your body, liposuction may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Liposuction can help men achieve a more toned and sculpted physique by removing excess fat from specific body areas. It’s not a weight loss solution but a way to target and remove stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.

WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION FOR MEN?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from specific body parts. It is a popular procedure among men seeking a more toned and defined physique. Liposuction for men can target areas such as the abdomen, chest, love handles, and thighs.

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the targeted area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. The cannula is then used to break up and suction the excess fat. Liposuction can be done under local or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and the extent of the procedure.

BENEFITS OF LIPOSUCTION FOR MEN

Liposuction can provide several benefits for men looking to improve their body contour. Some of these benefits include:

Improved self-confidence and self-esteem
A more toned and defined physique
Clothes fit better and look more flattering
Improved overall health, as excess fat can contribute to health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION?

If you are a man close to your ideal weight but have stubborn areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a good candidate for liposuction. However, having realistic expectations and understanding that liposuction is not a weight loss solution is essential. It is also important to be in good overall health and stable weight.

Men considering liposuction generally experience unwanted fat in the following areas:

Chin and neck.
Arms
Chest
Abdomen
Hips
Thighs
Back
Calves
Buttocks
Waist
Inner knee
Ankles
Pubic area

THE LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE

First, Dr. Markelov explains the procedure and listens as you describe your ideal results. He then considers your medical history and determines if liposuction will help you reach your body sculpting goals.

Before the procedure, you will receive anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free. Dr. Markelov will make small incisions in the targeted areas of your body. The incisions are typically less than half an inch long and will be strategically placed to minimize scarring.

Dr. Markelov will use a thin, hollow cannula to suction out unwanted fat during liposuction. The cannula is inserted through the incisions and moved back and forth to break up the fat cells and remove them from your body. Liposuction typically takes one to two hours, depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed.
