What are the risks of a male getting pubic liposuction done?

Thank you for your question. Fortunately, significant complications from liposuction surgery are infrequent. Liposuction surgery is one of the two most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons. Most often this surgery is performed without experiencing any major problem.

The subject of risks and potential complications of surgery is best discussed on a personal basis with you when you visit us during your consultation and your preoperative appointment. The risks in most surgeries are similar. Some of the potential complications that may be discussed with you include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin that may require removal), infection, changes in sensation, scarring, allergic reactions, damage to underlying structures, need for revisions, unsatisfactory results possibly necessitating additional procedures and medical risks. Other risks more specific to liposuction may include indentations and irregularities.

You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions we provide, both before and after your liposuction surgery. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeonHoffman Estates BarringtonOakbrook Chicago

Liposuction of the area in question can be performed with local anesthesia. There's really very little risk. Infection is highly unlikely. Minor contour irregularities would probably be the only considerable consideration.

At our practice, there is a significant number of men who desire liposuction. Men tend to have good skin quality and subsequently do very well, even if only modest fat removal is desired. Liposuction is somewhat painful for a few days, but not a very difficult recovery. Infection is a pretty rare complication.
