Liposuction - Men

Liposuction is a very effective technique to remove stubborn pockets of fat. It is mostly for shaping rather than weight loss or overall total body fat reduction. Ideal results occur when patients have good skin tone which reduces loose skin from developing after deflation of the affected areas.
Alternative options such as Cool sculpting can be very effective and do not require incisions. They may take several treatments to become completely effective. Sometimes the cost of multiple Coolsculpting treatments is almost the same as liposuction.
Small areas of liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia with awake technique utilizing a tumescent solution which expands the targeted area with a dilute numbing medicine which makes the procedure tolerable. Mild sedative may be given. This is generally preferred for small targeted areas.
