Liposuction Considerations in Men

Dermatol Clin. 2018 Jan;36(1):75-80. doi: 10.1016/j.det.2017.09.010.

Abstract

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed in men. Aside from traditional liposuction using the tumescent technique, several energy-assisted liposuction technologies have emerged and been proven safe and particularly beneficial for the male patient demographic. The differences in fat distribution and unique goals and emotional perspective in men need to be taken into account when performing liposuction, to ensure meeting the patient's needs and expectations for satisfactory results.
