Jacksonville Liposuction - Jacksonville Male Liposuction
Liposuction (also called suction-assisted lipectomy, lipoplasty, or simply “fat suctioning”) is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method of removing localized fat that doesn’t respond to dieting and exercise. Men, like women, can benefit from liposuction wherever these unwanted fat deposits occur. In men, that tends to be their breasts (a condition called gynecomastia), around the abdomen and waist, and along the chin and neck.
In the procedure, fat is auctioned out through a small, hollow tube inserted through one or more tiny incisions. The incisions are usually hidden in natural body creases and leave nearly imperceptible scars.
The best candidates for liposuction are of relatively normal weight with isolated pockets of excess fat. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations. Most important, you should have firm, elastic skin. (Loose, drooping skin won’t reshape to your body’s new contours, and may require an additional procedure to surgically remove the excess skin. This procedure will leave visible scars.)
For more information about liposuction - including a description of the surgery, how to prepare for it, what to expect from the recovery period, and specific risks - ask your plastic surgeon for the ASPRS brochure on this topic. You may also be interested in the ASPRS brochures on facelift, eyelid surgery, and abdominoplasty (”tummy tuck”).
Liposuction is becoming an increasingly popular procedure for men, especially around the chest, abdomen, and waist, and along the chin and neck.
