Men retain their skin elasticity longer than women do, and the areas of fat beneath the skin tend to be firmer and more vascular than those in women. Because of these and other factors, liposuction in men is usually very effective.
Overal healthy men who want to remove areas of unwanted fat or reshape particular areas of the body can be helped with male liposuction.
It is always best to consult your surgeon who will advise what type of procedure is suitable for you to have the best possible result. If you have excessive overweight, this treatment is not suitable for you and you might consider a gastric bypass surgery.
The operation is performed under a general anaesthetic, or local anaesthetic with sedation often as a day case.
It is a fairly quick procedure, a very small incision is made to extract the fat and is closed with a stitch or dissolvable suture.
Most patients have hardly any pain after liposculpture. The special anaesthetic lasts about a day, then the tissue and muscles may feel somewhat stiff or tight. When you are at home you can take some paracetamol if necessary. You should take into account that a reddish serum can leak from the wounds for the first few days. At home you may need to use a mattress cover the first night.
Despite the fact that some people don't take any time off work after having liposculpture, you can take a few days off to rest. It is important though to move around as normal as possible.
After 4-8 days you can resume your normal activities. After 10 days you can start to play sports, swim and cycle again. 4 weeks later you are fully recovered and can also carry out heavy physical work.
Small inconveniences, such as local sensory disorders or small subcutaneous lesions may occur. They usually disappear within a few months. Post-operative massage and lymphatic drainage are sometimes prescribed.
Make sure to discuss all your questions and concerns with your surgeon.
During your consultation you will meet the surgeon who will perform your surgery. The consultation will start with you expressing your desired result of the surgery.
Your surgeon will then perform a medical examination to assess whether you are medically fit and a suitable candidate for this procedure.
During the consultation, the surgeon explains the entire procedure and determines the quantity of fat that can be harvested. The surgeon will also be able to give you an idea of the expected final result.
Your surgery will be performed under intravenous sleep sedation. This stops you from feeling pain and puts you under a state of unconsciousness. Your anaesthetist will insert a needle into your arm through which the medication will be injected. It takes about 10 seconds to take effect. Once asleep the surgeon will make a few tiny incisions (3 mm) in the area agreed upon during the consultation.
With the aid of a thin cannula, the surgeon will aspirate fatty tissue until achieving the desired result. The incisions will be closed with single dissoluble suture, or first left open to heal. After that, a tight compression garment is applied to the operated area. The anaesthetist will start the wake-up process and you will be brought back to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored.
After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be closely monitored by our medical staff. If the surgery took place under general anaesthesia or intravenous sleep sedation, your bodily functions will routinely be monitored whilst you start to awake.
Once you are fully conscious, you will be taken to your room where you can continue resting until you feel fit to go home.
Some surgeries require patients to stay overnight.
For optimal healing and aesthetic outcome, it is important to strictly follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. These guidelines may vary from patient to patient.
All stitches are dissoluble so you don't need to visit your family doctor or a nurse to remove them.
We are there to support you day and night. Our doctors and staff will advise and assist you until you are fully recovered.
