Am I a Candidate for Male Liposuction?
he best liposuction candidates are men who are healthy overall, in reasonably good shape, but have some stubborn areas that are resistant to improvement with diet and exercise. In some cases, men who are heavier may be candidates for large volume liposuction.Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss - it is a contouring procedure for areas of the body that are diet and exercise resistant. These would include the abdomen and flanks in men. The chest and back, and are also areas that liposuction can be effective. You should have realistic expectations for what the procedure can achieve in your case.
Procedure
Liposuction uses a number of very small incisions - about ¼ inch each - placed at various sites to allow insertion of the canula. These are often not even closed since they will seal all by themselves and fade to almost nothing in about a year.
Recovery
For most people, liposuction recovery is very comfortable. Most likely you will simply feel a bit sore. Depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of fat removed, men take between two days and a week or so off from work following the procedure. You will have some swelling and some bruising, and this begins to go down a few days following the procedure.
