What is Male Liposuction?
With plastic surgery on the rise, it comes as no surprise that many men are starting to take an interest in reaching their body goals. As we age, unwanted fat can start accumulating in various areas of our body that can be difficult to get rid of, even with diet and exercise. Fortunately, Dr. Constantino Mendieta specializes in male body contouring procedures like male liposuction to help you achieve a slimmer, firmer midsection. Male liposuction is a surgical procedure that sculpts and tones the body by eliminating fat from trouble spots to create an attractive and athletic physique.

Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for male liposuction must be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. You will also be asked to stop smoking for at least two weeks before and after your surgery. Dr. Mendieta will examine the condition of your body to determine the best approach to produce the aesthetic results you desire. Male liposuction can remove unwanted fat from the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Chest
- Back
- Calves
Male Liposuction Procedure
Male liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis and can take one hour to complete, depending on the amount of fat being removed. During your procedure, a small incision will be placed in the treatment site and excess fatty tissue is removed using a thin metal tube, also known as a cannula. Once the fat has been removed, Dr. Mendieta will reshape your body to produce a more toned figure. The incisions are then closed using sutures.
