Liposuction for men targets stubborn fat in areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Common treatment zones include the chest, abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), and back. Whether you want a leaner look or a more defined shape, this procedure reveals the muscle structure beneath.
At Appleby Plastic Surgery, we take a customized, discreet approach to male body contouring. Our surgeons work with you to understand your goals and create a plan that’s technically precise and natural-looking.
Liposuction uses a small cannula and vacuum system to remove unwanted fat through tiny incisions. For male patients, the focus is often on achieving a classic masculine shape with cleaner lines and subtle definition. If you have firm, elastic skin, you will have better results.
This procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
(often combined with Gynecomastia surgery).
Some patients choose to combine their Liposuction with a Tummy Tuck, Neck Liposuction, or another surgery.
