The Pros and Cons of Liposuction for Men

Home / Men's Health & Fitness / The Pros and Cons of Liposuction for Men

We don’t talk about liposuction for men as often as we should. Meanwhile, nearly 40% of American adults are obese. Just under half of all those people are males in search of a solution.

What is liposuction for men? 

Liposuction is the American’s most common medical procedure. It’s scheduled primarily for cosmetic purposes but can be beneficial to a person’s health as well. During lipo, excess fat is safely removed from the patient’s body during in-office visits as part of an invasive weight-loss agenda.

Overall, liposuction is quick and painless because of the anesthetics used. Results are immediate too, but longevity depends on the patient’s lifestyle habits afterward. It’s important to speak to a plastic surgeon before scheduling anything.

The pros and cons of the procedure

Liposuction for men is no different than liposuction for women. The same basic rules apply but different parts of the body may be targeted depending on your goals. Meanwhile, here’s what you need to consider before scheduling an appointment:

The Pros

  • Unwanted fat and cellulite removed
  • Ideal body type achieved
  • Reduced risk of weight-related diseases 
  • Targeted body contouring
  • Boosted self-esteem
  • Permanent results (with proper maintenance)

The Cons

  • May cause damage to the skin (scarring)
  • Can cause swelling, pain, and/or bruising
  • Infections possible 
  • Potential for allergic reactions

Be sure to speak with your physician about the specifics of your case. Keep in mind that you may have to stop taking certain medications or rework your diet prior to surgery.

Common concerns about the risks of lipo for men

It’s normal to worry about the side effects of male liposuction. The procedure can be extremely dangerous if it’s done by an unskilled hand. Increase your chances of success using these 5 simple guidelines:

  1. Check your weight. Ideally, you should be within 30% of your ideal mass.
  2. Work on muscle tone and skin elasticity. Both will help reduce scarring from the procedure.
  3. Improve your health. Avoid lipo if you have chronic medical conditions that could impair the healing process.
  4. Stop smoking. Tobacco changes the way your body reacts to trauma and nutrition.
  5. Set some goals. Doctors are more willing to work with people who know what they want.

As always, try to remove excess fat or cellulite from your body through at-home remedies first because it’s safer. Many doctors and patients consider lipo a last resort, which means you should avoid making an appointment until you’ve tried everything else.

DID YOU KNOW: There are at least three different alternatives to liposuction. Ask your doctor for more information about endermology, mesotherapy, and/or cryolipolysis. 

The takeaway

You don’t have to undergo liposuction to become a healthier man. There are countless home remedies to reduce the amount of fat and cellulite on your body. The way your figure looks is a direct result of your diet and lifestyle habits.

Still, it’s generally safe to choose lipo for weight loss because the side effects are minimal. Most of the time, the liposuction procedure takes less than one afternoon to complete, so you’re in and out without missing a beat. Then, your self-esteem gets a major boost as a result.
