subject: There Are Certain Places Where Men Usually Get Liposuction: Here Are Some Of The Common Ones [print this page] Liposuction can be useful for trimming off a few pounds from a small area of the body. The common areas where people tend to want to have fat removed are different for men and women. More and more men are getting the surgery done, and this article will discuss some of the common areas that men choose.
Everyone's body is unique, and different bodies collect fat in different places. Liposuction can only safely remove about ten pounds of fat at one time. The changes maybe drastic or they may be barely noticeable; it just depends on the individual.
A lot of men put on weight in the center region of the body, getting fat bellies and love handles. These are some of the most common areas that men like to get liposuction. Usually the surgery makes these areas look leaner and toned and generally improves the way that shirts fit.
Another common area for men is the neck and jowls. Many men, especially as they age, have hanging fatty jowls. Having fat removed from this area can be highly noticeable and can create the impression that the person has lost a lot of weight from the entire body. It can also make some men look younger and more filled with vitality.
Some men gain fat in unexpected places such as the back, and the surgery can help to tone the appearance of such areas.
One less publicly-talked-about area that affects many men is the breasts. Some men put on quite a bit of fat on their breasts, and this can be embarrassing. Sometimes called man boobs, a lot of men feel that they could do without them.
Liposuction can remove the excess fat from the breasts, but some men grow actual breast tissues, and there's nothing that can be done about that. It does happen in rare cases, and can be discovered in a consult with a plastic surgeon.
Generally, it's harder to remove fat from men than it is from women. The fat tends to be more fibrous, and suctioning it out takes more time. Because of these factors, it is usually more expensive for men to get liposuction.
It's important to note that the procedure can only do so much. A small localized area is numbed with anesthetic, and small incisions are made that are about two-thirds of an inch long. Several of the incisions are made in the small region, but the rest of the body is unaffected.
