Male Liposuction

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.

(Men’s Body Contouring, Fat Removal)

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.

Your plan may include:

why choose

Fat cells removed by liposuction are gone for good. However, weight gain can still affect your results. We’ll talk about long-term maintenance during your recovery.

Can this fix love handles or belly fat?

Yes. These are common areas we treat in men, especially when diet and exercise aren’t enough.

Will I have visible scars?

The incisions are very small and placed in discreet areas. They typically fade significantly over time.

Can I combine this with other procedures?

Absolutely. Male liposuction is often paired with Gynecomastia surgery, Neck Liposuction, or body contouring after weight loss.

Will fat return after surgery?

The technique is similar, but the aesthetic goals are different. With men, we focus on sharper angles, flatter contours, and muscle visibility.

FAQs ABOUT

Does liposuction fix skin surface problems?

No. Skin that is soft and thin from stretch marks, weight loss, or natural aging will not reshape as well. You may need more surgeries to remove and tighten extra skin.
