Liposuction procedure for Men

Online I keep finding info about women who had liposuction. Thats fine, but I would be very interested in doing something about my love handles and stomach roll. Is it common for a male to have liposuction procedures to improve body contours? Are the risks of liposuction for men the same as for women?

Liposuction for men

Thanks for your question - Men absolutely get liposuction and can have great results. Liposuction is targeted permanent fat removal of specific areas. There are a few differences that should be taken into account by your plastic surgeon moving forward. The Bad: Men can have a higher incidence of hypertension which can lead to bleeding or hematomas. Men tend to be less compliant with post-op care (in this case men usually stop wearing a compression garment sooner than women against advice). The Good: Many times men can have higher elasticity of their skin and can have better results after lipo than women. I hope this helps.
