Liposuction: Q&A
Ask a QuestionLiposuction for Men
Online I keep finding info about women who had liposuction. Thats fine, but I would be very interested in doing something about my love handles and stomach roll. Is it common to do male liposuction to improve body contours? Are the risks of liposuction for men the same as for women?

Liposuction is popular for men
Men are coming to see us for liposuction almost as often as women. Men who are close to their ideal weight but have persistent stubborn fat deposits on their abdomens, love handles or chest find that liposuction can significantly improve the way they look. The operation is very similar in men as it is in women. Liposuction is quickly becoming one of the most popular operations we perform in men.

Male liposuction
Most liposuction patients are females, but the same benefit can be achieved for men, and more men are becoming aware of the benefits of liposuction.
The most common areas for men are the "love handles", the lower abdomen, breast and the neck, and all of these can be performed under local anesthesia, called tumescent liposuction, if desired. The recovery is usually minimal, providing the amount of fat to be removed is not excessive and they are generally in good shape....

Liposuction for Men
One of the most common reasons men come to my plastic surgery practice is for liposuction. Over the years, plastic surgery for men, particularly liposuction, has increased significantly in popularity. In the properly selected patients, liposuction can be an effective way to improve men’s physiques with minimal scarring and fairly low rates of complications.
I use what is called power-assisted liposuction, which uses a special machine that rapidly reciprocates (vibrates back and forth) a...

Liposuction for men
More male patients are undergoing cosmetic surgeries especially liposuction. This operation is not a replacement for diet and exercise, nor is to treat obesity. Undesirable fat is usually stored in abdomen, flanks ( love handles ) and in the breast area. Not infrequently we see fat deposits underneath of chin and in and around the neck especially in patients with short necks. Accumulated fat are more dense in male patients , therefore ultrasonic liposuction ( liposelsction/vaser ) is a...

Liposuction is very common for men
Liposuction is a very common procedure for men. Infact, in my practice the number one procedure for males is Liposuction and the most commonly treated areas are the flanks or "love handles", abdomen and chest. Men have thick skin and have not lost the skin elasticity like many women after pregnancy and get great results. Liposuction is a wonderful treatment option for men and women who are generally in good shape with a healthy BMI but just how those problem areas...

Liposuction in men
Liposuction on men is actually very commonly performed. It is mostly done on abdomen, flanks and necks. Men actually do quite well as their thicker skin tends to contract or shrink down well. The risks for the liposuction are the same as for women.

Male liposuction /fat reducing options/coolsculpting
Men can be great candidates for liposuction or even the new Zeltiq non invasive procedure.
The best candidates are men who are actually in decent shape but have resistant pockets of fat in the central abdomen and/or love handles. Despite exercise, they have a hard time eliminating these fat pockets. Liposuction works very well in these cases and a high satisfaction is the rule.
Zeltiq "Coolsculpting" is a procedure that does not require...

Men Benefiting from Liposuction
Men do GREAT with LOVE HANDEL LIPOSUCTION. The risks fro men are extremely low and the same holds for women. Liposuction is extremely safe in safe hands of ABPS surgeons and can be dangerous in some hands. Men have liposuction primarily for neck, jaw line, jowl, man boobs, and love handles. Talk to 3 ABPS surgeons. Good Surgery For YOU.

Men can have Liposuction too
Men can get improvement from liposuction as well. It's just that many men put fat on inside the abdomen: the "beer belly." Fat in this area is not amenable to liposuction or tummy tuck surgery. But if it's outside (if you can grab it) then we can treat it.

Male love handles usually respond very well to liposuction
The short answer to your question is that men do get liposuctions for the lovehandles. Men have a tendency not to discuss this as much as women. I have performed liposuction on men's lovehandles many times and they all have been pleased with the results. After the procedure, I usually instruct my patients to wear the compression garment for as long as they can or up to 4 weeks, which either comes first. Men usually are not use to wearing the garment and often will stop wearing them after a...
