Liposuction for Men
Are you tired of those love handles or being told you sport a “Dad-bod”? Find out how Formation’s liposuction for men can help eliminate stubborn fat and reveal the muscular, toned figure you’ve always wanted.
At Formation, we understand a “dream body” can look very different for male and female patients. While many female patients come to us looking for hourglass curves or a snatched waist, we understand most of our male patients have different liposuction goals.
That is why we have focused on perfecting male liposuction techniques specifically tailored to create athletic angles and narrower waists, achieving the sough-after inverted pyramid torso (broad shoulders and slim waist). Whether your goal is to eliminate stubborn fat or increase ab definition, Dr. Gopal Grandhige and the team here at Formation have you covered.
What Is Liposuction For Men?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove excess fat from a patient’s body. By melting and emptying out the deep layers of fat, it can be used to treat small or large areas from the chin to the calves. Liposculpture has evolved into a precise, highly effective, minimally invasive permanent method of removing unwanted, stubborn deposits of fat in order to regain the toned, athletic body you desire.
Power-Assisted Liposuction
This method utilizes vibration to loosen the fat cells to facilitate easier and more complete removal. Dr. Grandhige uses novel techniques to achieve additional skin contraction that normally involves the addition of other modalities and additional cost. Formation is a site for training other physicians in PAL-HD techniques.
Ultrasonic Liposuction
This approach uses ultrasonic energy to gently remove fat with less trauma to the surrounding skin and tissue. VASER is one brand that has popularized this technique, especially for allowing additional control and better definition around the midsection. This technique is often used in our high-definition liposculpture to etch the coveted “six-pack”.
Laser Liposuction
In this technique, a laser is used to heat the fat cells, liquefying them, allowing for easier removal. This results in a smoother result when compared to standard liposuction. The addition of heat also constricts the surrounding tissue and stimulates collagen production so the skin conforms to the new body contour.
While liposuction can revolutionize your life, it is not a substitute for diet and exercise. You can gain weight back after liposuction. Treated areas will not expand as they would have prior to liposuction, but the residual fat cells can swell with weight gain.
At Formation, we pair traditional liposuction for men with high-definition liposculpture techniques in appropriate patients, going beyond fat removal to further sculpt and contour the patient’s body.
What Areas Can You Treat With Male Liposuction?
While we can target almost any part of the body, male liposuction is most commonly used to reduce fat in the following areas:
abdomen
Banishing unwanted “love-handles” and exposing a tighter, smoother, flatter stomach helps slims the waist and lower torso – accentuating the appearance of a broad upper torso.
chest
Removing fat from the lower and lateral borders of the chest creates sculpted pecs and may be combined with fat transfer for further definition.
arms
Liposuction can successfully treat gynecomastia in the majority of patients.
back
By removing the fat on the flanks, leaving the central and upper bulk in place combined with removal of the highly diet-resistant lower back fat, the waistline is reduced creating the desired “V” torso.
butt
Contouring the junction of the lower back and the upper buttock creates a shelf, resulting in an athletic butt.
legs
Removal of fat helps contour the legs, resulting in a youthful appearance.
Am I A Good Candidate For Liposuction?
Although liposuction isn’t considered a major surgery, there are certain factors that can exclude someone from being a good candidate for the procedure. Our surgeons are best suited to determine if you qualify for liposuction, but you may be a good candidate if:
- You have “diet resistant fat”, often caused by genetics, that doesn’t respond to food regimes or exercise
- You are in good health, average to moderate weight and a non-smoker
- You have good skin elasticity (no loose or excess skin)
- You have fat deposits that are out of proportion with the rest of your body
- You understand that liposuction is a fat removal procedure -- it does not help with cellulite, stretch marks, or sagging skin. Age is not a determinant of candidacy, each individual is assessed for skin laxity to ensure desired goal can be achieved.
- You have a stable weight, positive outlook and specific goals in mind
While liposuction is a powerful procedure for fat removal, it is not a weight loss surgery. Patients who have a high BMI and are looking to remove over 10 pounds of fat may be better candidates for endoscopic balloon placement or ESG, our non-surgical weight loss procedures.
For those who have a large amount of weight loss with skin and muscle laxity, liposuction can be combined with an abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” to achieve the desired results.
