Today, more men are opting for male liposuction procedures. In the past, liposuction procedures have been dominated by women, but recent studies by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery discovered that twelve percent of men are actively involved in performing liposuction procedures.
Cost of Male Liposuction
Male lipo is more costly than women’s liposuction. There are three reasons for this. First, the fat on a male’s body is more fibrous, so it is more difficult and timely to remove. Second, men normally request highly fibrous areas such as the abdomen, love handles, and chest to be initially done. Finally, men are generally larger than women, so the liposuction will need to be done across a larger area, raising the cost. The range of cost on the lower scale runs about $1,500 for the arms, back and buttocks to $7,500 for the upper and lower abdomen and breasts.
Liposuction for Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male breasts are enlarged. The causes can be an imbalance of hormones or overweight. When fat accumulates in the breast region, liposuction, along with other surgical procedures, is highly effective in decreasing the volume and size of the breast area. If the breasts are enlarged due to excessive glandular tissue, liposuction is not an option, therefore other therapies will need to be pursued.
Other Treatable Areas
Liposuction is also effective in reducing fat in the oblique (love handles) and abdominal areas. Liposuction is not just for the body. More men are looking into liposuction procedures to rejuvenate and trim down their facial area. Common areas of liposuction include the jowls, neck, and chin. Suctioning fatty tissue from these regions can restore definition to the face and offer the patient a more youthful appearance.
Liposuction Financing
Liposuction is now more affordable due to the financing options most doctors accept. Financing companies such as CareCredit and Capital One Healthcare Finance both specialize in elective surgeries. Most companies offer applications on their websites that will give a decisive answer within seconds of applying. Make sure to talk to the doctor about options that are available.
So when diet and exercise fails, liposuction for men can offer new possibilities for a better physique.
