Men have a distinct pattern of fat distribution. They tend to have skinny legs and no buttocks. But fat cells need a home. So, most men gain weight around their abdomen, love handles, and breasts. These problem areas only get worse with age. And oftentimes, diet and exercise do not make a difference. Even really fit men can struggle with uneven fat distribution.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Van Natta understands first hand how debilitating it is to not look your best. Particularly since many men are retiring later and want to stay competitive in the workplace. Uneven lumps and bumps can really do a number on a man’s self esteem. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells from specific areas in the body. It allows Dr. Van Natta to literally re-sculpt your body contour into the very best version of you.
Is Male Liposuction Right for You?
It’s important to understand that procedures to improve body contour such as liposuction or CoolSculpting are not weight loss techniques. Yes, liposuction will permanently reduce the number of fat cells in the treatment area. But there is only so much fat that can be removed at any one time. What liposuction really delivers is an improved body contour. But when your torso is in proper proportion, it will make you look thinner, stand up straighter and feel more youthful and alive.
In general, someone is a good candidate for male liposuction if he:
eats well and exercises regularly but still has stubborn pockets of fat
is within 30% of his target weight with good muscle tone and skin elasticity
is in good overall health with no life threatening illness or medical condition that might interfere with the healing process
doesn’t smoke
has a positive attitude and realistic goals for his results
If this sounds like you and you are bothered by your reflection in the mirror, then schedule a consultation to come in and talk with Dr. Van Natta. Warm, caring and extremely honest, he will be very straight with you about whether or not male liposuction is right for your individual needs and anatomy.
