When people think of liposuction, for some reason male liposuction is not what comes to mind. Women are usually thought of receiving the liposuction and not the men. However, men need the liposuction too.
When men need liposuction, they will notice that it costs more for them than it does for women. There are a few reasons for this. Men tend to be larger than women in general, and there usually is more that needs to be removed. Also, the fat than men have is much more fibrous and it is more difficult and takes much longer to be removed than in women.
Most of the male liposuction that is requested is in the breast area, the chest, abdomen and love handles. These are the places where men will have more fat, and these are the areas where fat is more fibrous in both men and women. Women will request liposuction in more areas of the body, such as the thighs and even the face.
Breast reduction for men, also called gynecomastia surgery, can now just be done using a local anesthetic with a short recovery time of perhaps only two to three days.
The love handles are also easily removed by liposuction. This office procedure also only requires a local anesthetic and can be done as an outpatient. The patient can be back to work in only three days, and he can get up and walk around right after the liposuction is performed.
The laser liposuction for men on the abdomen is mostly needed on the lower abdomen. Also called the spare tire, this area is hard to lose even with a regular exercise program. Once again, only a local anesthesia is needed for this tumescent liposuction with the recovery time averaging only three days. Liposuction for males may cost more, but the results are quick, and the procedure is fast.
