Male Liposuction

Male Liposuction

Male liposuction is a procedure in which localized deposits of fat are removed to re-contour one or more areas of the body; although this should not be viewed as a treatment for weight loss. Unfortunately, an unwanted side effect to this procedure is the return of the fat on occasion; often ths occurs in a different area from where it was first removed.

Tumescent and Ultrasonic are the two most commonly used methods although there are other lesser known techniques. The most popular of these two methods, Tumescent, is performed routinely now in the USA as a treatment for unwanted fat.

The tube used is much smaller and this also helps lessen the bruising which normally means a longer recovery period. Unfortunately there is often a certain amount of blood loss with traditional male liposuction; something that is addressed with the Tumescent technique which adds adrenaline to the solution to reduce the blood loss.

Ultrasonic male liposuction allows fat to be removed from traditionally awkward locations like the thighs, upper stomach and back.

The problem with the conventional treatment is the surgeon has trouble seeing where the probe is located in the body so it is possible for internal organs to be damaged if extreme care is not taken. As always the best course of action for a prospective patient is to speak to the surgeon who is going the carry out the procedure and learn what method is best suited for them.

The male liposuction procedure although relatively safe does carry some risk of side-effects but fortunately fatalities are very rare. In preparing for the procedure, individuals are required to undergo a series of physical examinations to determine whether or not their health is good enough to have it performed. With any medical procedure there is the risk of infection so surgeons have to ensure all wounds are kept clean and prescribe a course of antibiotics to patients having this cosmetic treatment. Fortunately, fat removal techniques have improved a great deal in recent years.

A new procedure akin to male liposuction is Lipo dissolve, which eliminates unwanted fat with a series of micro-injections into problem areas such as the neck, stomach and thighs. Lipo Dissolve can also be administered in combination with any other non-surgical skin treatment and does not require any anesthesia since it is virtually painless.
