Liposuction For Men Dr. John A. Millard

Liposuction is a procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits in a wide range of body areas.

These areas typically include the abdomen, love handles, chest (especially regarding gynecomastia), and hips. You no longer need to be frustrated with difficult fat when liposuction offers an excellent solution to help you achieve a contoured body and improved muscle definition.

About Liposuction for Men

Cosmetic procedures have gained popularity among men in recent years largely due to societal changes in male beauty standards and reduced stigma. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons released data that showed an approximate 55% increase in plastic surgery procedures in men from 1997 to 2018. (1) The desire for a more defined muscular profile is common, driving many to choose liposuction as a solution. Men receive liposuction to enhance their appearance and self-image to live happier, healthier lives.

Dr. Millard is one of the world’s leading experts in VASER liposuction. VASER, or vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance, is a refinement of ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques that uses specific vibrational frequencies at controlled intervals to effectively emulsify and dislodge fat without damage to the surrounding tissue and with significantly less heat from friction in the cannula. (2)

Our experienced plastic surgeons have performed countless liposuction procedures with different techniques on patients of all shapes and sizes. They have found that VASER liposuction creates the most effective results that require minimal recovery.

VASER Liposuction

As men age, hormones, diet, and lifestyle choices can contribute to changes in body composition, including the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area and “love handles”. Many individuals find that localized fat deposits in the midsection do not respond to standard weight loss methods, leading them to consider VASER liposuction as a viable option. The VASER process involves enhanced technology, delivering precise and effective fat removal from targeted areas to achieve the optimal shape.

VASER Hi-Def

The advanced VASER Hi-Def body contouring technique allows for greater precision and muscle definition compared to traditional liposuction methods. VASER Hi-Def focuses on selective fat removal, creating a three-dimensional sculpted appearance. It can highlight muscle groups, such as the abs and pectorals, by leaving certain fat layers intact to enhance the underlying muscle definition. Patients seeking VASER Hi-Def often desire a more athletic appearance, with well-defined muscles and enhanced body contours.

Gynecomastia Treatment

Gynecomastia is a condition that causes enlarged breast tissue in men. A male chest liposuction treatment can efficiently reduce excess fat to provide a defined masculine chest. This can greatly improve a man’s confidence and self-image. A liposuction treatment can potentially reduce the appearance of overdeveloped breast tissue and help you be more comfortable with your body.

It is important to note, however, that liposuction alone in the chest is rarely indicated. A true gynecomastia procedure also includes removal of the gland and skin tightening of the chest area to make it look amazing!

Can Liposuction Be Combined With Other Procedures?

Yes, it can be safely combined with fat transfer or other body contouring procedures for enhanced outcomes. Our male patients may wish to consider a Brozilian butt lift which accentuates the buttocks. Through consultation and customized planning, the surgeon ensures that each aspect of the procedure meets the unique needs of the patient.

When you receive a VASER liposuction procedure at Millard Plastic Surgery, you can experience many benefits, including:

  • Long-Lasting Results: The results from liposuction can last for many years with a healthy lifestyle.

Ideal candidates for liposuction are typically those who:

  • Are at or near their target weight.
  • Struggle with stubborn fat pockets despite a healthy lifestyle.

A personal consultation is vital when discussing liposuction for men. During this initial meeting, your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, talk about your aesthetic goals, and perform a physical examination of the areas you wish to treat. You will discuss various options, anesthesia considerations, and the anticipated recovery process.

This meeting allows both you and your surgeon to align expectations and concerns, ensuring that you are fully informed and comfortable moving forward.

Preparation

Preparing for liposuction is critical to ensure a successful procedure. Once your surgery is scheduled, you should:

  • Stop any medications and supplements that could affect bleeding as advised.
  • Avoid smoking for at least a few weeks leading up to the surgery.
  • Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical facility.
  • Set aside sufficient recovery time after your procedure, planning to take some time off from work.

Following all preoperative instructions will not only promote a smoother operation but also aid in achieving optimal results.

Procedure

All liposuction procedures, regardless of the technologies employed, start in a similar fashion. Your surgeon will begin by making a small incision at the treatment site and injecting a tumescent solution. This solution helps to reduce tissue damage, minimize pain, and reduce bleeding during the procedure. Tumescent solutions normally contain a mixture of lidocaine, blood clotting agents, saline, and other beneficial compounds. (3)

Your surgeon will then insert a thin VASER probe emitting ultrasonic waves into the incisions. These waves break down fat cells while protecting surrounding structures. Once the fat has been emulsified, it is gently suctioned away using fine cannulas. With VASER Hi-Def, special attention is given to refining muscle contours to provide high-definition results.

Recovery

You can expect some swelling and bruising after your liposuction procedure. This is natural and is part of your body’s healing process. Recovery is dependent on what parts of your body receive liposuction, but we recommend that all patients rest for at least 3-4 days and avoid exercise and strenuous activities. After this period, you can slowly resume your normal routine, but do so carefully and do not push yourself.

Results

Once your swelling has dissipated, you will immediately see the results of your liposuction. Liposuction results are long-lasting when maintained with proper diet and exercise, offering a significant boost in confidence and self-image.

Men receive liposuction in many different areas of their bodies to improve their appearance and feel good! You no longer need to be frustrated with those difficult fat deposits. Liposuction can help you look your best in no time. Obtain the chiseled body you’ve always wanted at Millard Plastic Surgery.
