What Is Special About Liposuction In Men?

Until recently, cosmetic surgery was considered the prerogative of women. But now, more men are turning to the help of plastic surgeons to correct facial features and body contours. The greatest number of requests from men are  recorded regarding rhinoplasty or improvement of muscle relief. But in recent years, male interest in liposuction has increased greatly. This is serious, so be sure to chose the best plastic surgeon to work with you.

Why Do Men Want Liposuction?

Improper nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, lack of proper rest, and hormonal changes often lead to disruption of normal metabolism and, as a result, the deposition of excess fat masses. The physiological characteristics of the body lead to the fact that it is quite difficult to get rid of fat in some parts of the body, even with the help of intensive training and dietary nutrition. The only way to quickly get rid of excess weight is surgery.

Cosmetic surgery allows you to reduce the amount of fatty tissue, more clearly define muscle relief, correct the figure, and improve overall health. Performing liposuction in men requires more meticulous work by the surgeon. Its tasks include not only reducing the volume of the body but also maintaining the masculinity of the silhouette. Men who have significantly lost weight may also face complications like loose skin and some amount of belly fat that doesn't go away on its own. In this case, abdominoplasty surgery NYC may also be an option.

The intervention procedure is the same for both sexes. The doctor makes a marking of the problem area, and anesthetizes the selected area. After the anesthesia has taken effect, punctures are made at the fat accumulation site. Fatty tissues are exposed to ultrasonic radiation, and the destroyed cells are sucked off by vacuum through special cannulas.

The main feature of the surgery in men is different from women. Most often, the male gender resorts to:

- Breast reduction. Such a need occurs with gynecomastia. The disease can be accompanied by the growth of glandular tissue, excessive deposition of fat in the chest area, causing the development of complexes, and the occurrence of psychological problems.

- Liposuction of the abdomen. Irrational nutrition, drinking beer, which contains a large amount of phytoestrogens, leads to the formation of excess fat on the abdomen. Getting rid of it is quite problematic, so even the six-pack can be lost.

- Back liposuction. Unwanted rollers on the back can form even in athletes. When carrying out liposuction, it is possible not only to reduce the volume of body fat but also to remove sagging skin.

- Chin liposuction. A pronounced, strong-willed chin is one of the main external attributes of masculinity. It is not possible to solve the problem of its sagging with the help of exercises; therefore plastic surgery may be required to restore the beautiful contours of the face.

The Features of Preparation for Surgery

For this purpose, laboratory tests, several diagnostic procedures (ECG, ultrasound), as well as an examination by an endocrinologist, therapist, dentist, and phlebologist are prescribed.

In the absence of risk factors, the patient is recommended:

- To stop smoking, drinking alcohol

- To avoid visiting baths, saunas

- To stop taking anticoagulants

- To reduce the consumption of fatty, fried, high-calorie foods. You should stop eating 6-8 hours before the plastic surgery,.

To exclude inflammatory processes, the doctor may additionally prescribe antibiotics.
