Liposuction for Men
The ideal male body shape is considered to be trim and athletic-lookin
with broad shoulders and chest, a flat abdomen, and a narrow hip-thigh
area. However, as men age, areas of fat tend to accumulate around
the abdomen, the flanks ("love handles"), the breast area
(a condition called gynecomastia), and along the chin and neck.
Men sometimes seek liposuction to remove these fatty areas that
are resistant to diet and exercise.
In many cases, liposuction alone can effectively correct these
problem areas. Men retain their skin elasticity longer than women
do, and the areas of fat beneath the skin tend to be firmer and
more vascular. Because of these and other factors, liposuction in
men is usually very effective. Men who have some loose, hanging
skin as well as areas of excess fat may opt for a traditional excision
procedure (surgical skin removal) in addition to liposuction. An
excision may also be performed on gynecomastia patients whose breast
enlargement is made up of mostly glandular tissue, rather than fat.
