Liposuction for Men

Liposuction Procedures FOR MEN

The ideal male body shape is considered to be trim and athletic-looking, with broad shoulders and chest, a flat abdomen and a narrow hip-thigh area. However, as men age, areas of fat tend to accumulate around the abdomen, the flanks (“love handles”), the breast area (a condition called gynecomastia) and along the chin and neck. Men sometimes seek liposuction to remove these fatty areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction is a procedure in which the contours of the body are resculpted through the removal of localized deposits of unwanted fat. During the past decade, advancements in liposuction techniques and technology have made the procedure safer and more efficient than ever before.

Dr. Lamblet performs liposuction using the tumescent technique. With this technique, fat is suctioned using a thin instrument, called a cannula; the cannula causes less trauma to surrounding tissues than past methods of liposuction. At the end of the procedure, Dr. Lamblet may attach small drains that allow the release of excess fluid during healing, and he bandages the area. Your recovery will be monitored closely by Dr. Lamblet to make sure that you are healing properly.

Liposuction is the ideal procedure for removing stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to dieting and exercise. Contact Dr. Lamblet’s office to find out if you are a good candidate for liposuction.
