MALE-SPECIFIC SURGERY

Male Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove extra body fat. It can be done on different parts of the body, such as the neck, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. Excess fat removal from the chest, flanks (love handles), and abdomen is a common procedure for men.

WHAT MAKES MALE LIPOSUCTION SUCH A POPULAR OPTION?

There are a variety of reasons why men might decide to get liposuction. Due to excess fat in certain areas of their bodies, some men might feel self-conscious about how they look. In addition, liposuction can be used to treat gynecomastia, a condition in which men develop extra breast tissue. Numerous things, such as hormonal imbalances, certain medications, and obesity, can contribute to this condition. By removing extra breast tissue, liposuction can enhance the appearance of the chest.

IS THE PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR ME?

It is crucial to understand that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and cannot replace a balanced diet and regular exercise. It works best for people who are at or close to their ideal weight and have stubborn pockets of extra fat that cannot be fixed by diet and exercise.

Additionally, it’s critical to have reasonable expectations for the procedure’s outcomes. Liposuction can help with body contour and shape, but it won’t result in significant weight loss or fundamentally alter a person’s appearance if you do not actively keep up a healthy lifestyle.

PREPARATION AND CONSIDERATIONS

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?

If you are considering liposuction, there are several steps you can take to prepare for the procedure:

Schedule a consultation.
Stop smoking.
Avoid certain medications such as blood thinners, before the procedure.
Follow a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Arrange for someone to drive you home due to the effects of the anaesthesia.
Follow all pre-operative instructions.

Be sure to follow these instructions carefully to minimise the risk of complications.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE SURGERY?

Before your surgery, our team will be in constant contact with you to make sure all the boxes are checked. Some crucial elements to remember are:

Do not eat or drink for 6-7 hours leading to the surgery, otherwise you may not tolerate the anaesthesia well.
Avoid strong colognes or perfumes
Make sure to have enough comfortable clothes
Take off all your piercings and jewellery
Remove nail polish and extensions. This is necessary for the medical staff to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood.

You can also attend to minor details like removing contacts and switching to glasses, packing a bag of essentials as well as preparing a last-minute list of questions. Remember, there’s no such thing as being too prepared!

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCEDURE?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a cannula, a hollow stainless steel tube, to remove extra body fat. Typically, either general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation is used to carry out the procedure.

Here is a general description of what to anticipate throughout the procedure:

You will receive general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation prior to the procedure to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout.
To insert the cannula, your surgeon will make a small incision in the treatment area.
Using a high-pressure suction device, the cannula will be used to suction out the extra fat. A procedure known as tumescent liposuction, which involves injecting a solution into the treatment area to help loosen the fat, may be used by your surgeon.
After the excess fat has been eliminated, your surgeon will use sutures or skin adhesive to close the incisions.

Following your successful procedure, you will be taken to our Recovery Suites where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off.

HEALING AND AFTERCARE

WHAT TO EXPECT WHILE HEALING FROM THE PROCEDURE

You will be taken to a recovery suite after the procedure, where you will be watched until the anaesthesia has worn off. You’ll receive instructions on how to take care of your incisions and deal with any pain or swelling.

To ensure a quick recovery and lower your risk of complications, it’s crucial to adhere to all of your surgeon’s instructions. Your surgeon will also inform you of any potential follow-up procedures or additional treatments.

You should anticipate some swelling, bruising, and discomfort following liposuction. Painkillers can help with these side effects.

After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some soreness for a few days, but most people are able to resume work and their regular activities within a week. To give the incisions and swelling time to heal, strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks.

You will receive detailed instructions from your surgeon on how to take care of your incisions and handle any pain or swelling. For several weeks, you might need to support the treated area and help reduce swelling by wearing a compression garment. Additionally, your surgeon will inform you of any required follow-up care or additional therapies.

ANSWERING YOUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How safe is liposuction?

When carried out by an experienced plastic surgeon, liposuction is a relatively safe procedure. Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including those of bleeding, infection, and anaesthesia-related side effects. Your surgeon will go over the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure with you and give you advice on how to reduce the possibility of complications.

How much fat can be removed during liposuction?

Depending on a number of variables, including the patient’s overall health, the location and size of the treatment area, and the patient’s goals for the procedure, the amount of fat that can be safely removed during liposuction varies from person to person.

Can cellulite be eliminated with liposuction?

Cellulite cannot be effectively treated with liposuction. Cellulite is best reduced by a procedure that will disintegrate the connective tissue beneath the skin.

Is liposuction a method of losing weight?

Liposuction is not a weight loss method and should not be used in place of a balanced diet and regular exercise. It works best for people who are at or close to their ideal weight and have stubborn pockets of extra fat that cannot be lost through diet and exercise.
