A second chin, a "beer belly" or fat on the chest will definitely not increase a man's self-esteem. Interestingly, in these areas, weight loss will occur last. A man does not always have the strength and motivation to endure this long process. Desperate, they believe that nothing can be changed and will have to put up with such a constitution. However, the problem can be solved quickly and radically. He comes to the rescue liposuction for men. Yes, not only women appreciated the benefits of this operation. What results does it allow to achieve, how is it carried out and how does recovery take place? These questions are answered by a plastic surgeon from the "SM-Plastika" clinic.

Features of male liposuction

Male liposuction differs from female liposuction due to the peculiarities of anatomy and physiology. In men, local fat deposits are most often formed in the area of ​​the front wall of the abdomen, in the lateral lumbar regions and on the chest (false gynecomastia). Fat accumulations differ in greater density, as there is a greater amount of connective tissue between fat cells. A plastic surgeon must take this feature into account. To destroy fatty deposits, it is necessary to use greater force, and sometimes to combine vacuum liposuction with a water jet Body Jet.

Removal of fat deposits on the sides, stomach and chest allows you to emphasize the natural male relief and make the body more attractive. Liposuction helps to remove excess fat cells, which means to reduce the substrate on which fat deposits may appear in the future. To achieve a lasting result, it is recommended to adhere to proper nutrition and maintain a sufficient pace of physical activity in the postoperative period. Yes, it is recommended to devote at least 150 minutes to physical activity per week. Preference should be given to cardio training, which helps burn fat effectively. To maintain muscle tone and increase muscle relief, cardio training is recommended to be combined with strength training.




It is interesting that after liposuction the results are noticeable in men earlier than in women. This is due to the peculiarities of metabolic processes. In the male body, under the influence of testosterone, metabolism occurs faster than in the female body. The primary result can be evaluated on the third week. The final effect is estimated after 3-4 months.

If the operation involved the removal of a large volume of fat deposits, it can lead to a decrease in skin tone. Hardware lifting procedures are recommended for its tightening. During the operation, additional excision of each excess flap can be performed (prior agreement with the patient is required).

How to prepare for surgery

The success of the operation depends not only on the skill of the surgeon, but also on careful preparation. Before surgery, it is recommended to undergo a standard complex examination, which will allow you to assess the overall health of the body and identify potential risks. This information is necessary for carrying out the operation on the most favorable background. When contraindications are identified, surgical intervention is postponed until they are eliminated. Yes, the operation should be refrained from exacerbation of chronic pathologies, the development of an active inflammatory process in the body, impaired blood clotting, uncompensated endocrine disorders, unregulated blood pressure.

What types of liposuction are performed in men

Taking into account the zone of surgical correction, the following varieties are distinguished:

  1. Abdominal liposuction is an effective method of quickly getting rid of the "beer belly", removing local fat deposits allows you to highlight the abdominal muscles and make the male silhouette more relief;
  2. liposuction of the breast is a way to radically get rid of false gynecomastia (excess fat deposition in the area of ​​the mammary glands);
  3. chin liposuction — helps to solve the problem of the second chin.

Combined operations

At the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon talks in detail with the patient and finds out his wishes, details the result he wants to see after the operation. This allows you to carefully plan the surgical intervention and, if necessary, resort to a combined technique. The following options are available at "SM-Plastics":

  1. liposuction in combination with lipofilling — in this case, part of the removed fat undergoes special preparation, after which it can be injected into those areas that require the creation of additional volume;
  2. liposuction in combination with lifting — after removal of fatty deposits, excess skin is excised, the edges of the skin wound are joined with an intradermal cosmetic suture.

How does rehabilitation work after male liposuction

Swelling, bluishness and some soreness in the area of ​​the intervention is considered a normal reaction of the body. These symptoms usually pass within the first week. As a rule, they are less pronounced than in women. Stitches are removed after 5-7 days.

2 weeks after the operation, the first assessment of the achieved results can be carried out. If there is some looseness of the skin, it is possible to carry out radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser lifting. In the postoperative period, it is recommended to wear compression underwear or a chin support device until the tissue is completely restored. This allows skin and intradermal structures to take the correct position.

The full rehabilitation period usually lasts up to 3 months. After this time, you can start regular sports training.

The result of liposuction

Liposuction allows you to remove up to 4 kg of adipose tissue at one time. At the same time, the volume in the operated area decreases. A decrease in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer leads to better muscle contouring.
