Male Liposuction

What Is Male Liposuction?

Male liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat to improve body shape. Unlike traditional liposuction, this approach accounts for male fat distribution and muscle definition.

Dr. Massey uses tumescent liposuction, which involves injecting a solution of local anesthetic and epinephrine to firm the tissues, minimize bleeding, and enhance precision. This method leads to less bruising, faster recovery, and a more sculpted outcome.

Who Is a Candidate for Male Liposuction?

This procedure is ideal for men who are in good health and close to their goal weight but have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. You may be a candidate if you:

• Have isolated fat in the abdomen, flanks, chest, or neck
• Maintain a stable weight and have good skin elasticity
• Do not smoke, or are willing to stop temporarily
• Have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve

Liposuction can also be paired with facial procedures such as blepharoplasty or Botox to address signs of aging.

What Happens During Male Liposuction Surgery?

During surgery, a solution containing local anesthesia and epinephrine is first injected into the fat beneath the skin. This causes the area to swell and firm slightly, which gives Dr. Massey better control when shaping the body.

The addition of epinephrine also helps temporarily constrict the blood vessels, thereby minimizing bleeding throughout the procedure. A small cannula is then used to gently suction out the fat. Common treatment areas for male liposuction include the abdomen, flanks, chest, jawline, and neck.

What to Expect After Male Liposuction / Recovery

Recovery is generally straightforward. Patients receive post-procedure care instructions and compression garments to reduce swelling. Here’s what to expect:

• Soreness, swelling, and bruising for the first one to two weeks
• Most return to light work within three to five days
• No strenuous activity or heavy lifting for two weeks
• Final results begin to show around two to three months post-op

Complementary procedures like laser resurfacing can enhance your overall appearance during recovery. Dr. Massey will help you find the best options to complete your personalized treatment plan.

Benefits of Male Liposuction

Liposuction helps refine body contours and improve how clothes fit. Benefits include:

• A leaner, more athletic body shape
• Improved proportions and posture
• Permanent fat removal in treated areas
• Higher confidence and body satisfaction

Results last long-term with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
