Male Liposuction or should I surgically remove love handles? (photo)

Question

First of all I'm new here and the pic isn't me but I don't have any of my back love handles .but I assume I'm very close the pic. Im 27 years old , 200lbs and 5'8. My love handles have always been with me since childhood. Would lipo take them down? I have really firm skin and don't sag or anything.. I'm new but forgive any lack of knowledge on how things are done here. Thanks u and please any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Although an examination is always helpful, liposuction of the love handles usually produces a very nice result.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you appear to have areas of disproportion and would do well with liposuction.  you would need an in person consultation to determine your best options and which areas should be treated.  if you have skin laxity or poor muscle tone the chance of the skin retracting or tightening is less than if you have good tone to begin.  I suggest seeing someone who specalizes in treating men and contouring rather than just solely removing fat.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Would be good to see the frontal view as well. Liposuction can address the love handles-- best to seek in person consultation with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Liposuction is an excellent treatment for areas of fat that are difficult to remove through diet and exercise.  The beauty of this procedure is that it targets specific problem areas such as male love handles and chest.  The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis through very small incisions.  You should visit a plastic surgeon in your area who is board-certified in plastic surgery.  Best of luck!
