Liposuction for Men Differs from Women’s Liposuction
There are differences between liposuction for men and liposuction for women. The main difference is where the fat is. Fat deposits settle in different parts of the male body. Men mainly suffer from fat deposits in the abdominal area, torso, chest and back. Where for the most part, women will have liposuction on hips, thighs and also the abdominal area.
There are different types of abdominal fat. visceral fat is inside the abdominal cavity and not directly under the skin, liposuction may not be able to safely remove visceral fat because of the risk of blood loss, nerve damaged and punctured organs because of the increased risk. Beer bellies, typically are mostly visceral fat. Intra-abdominal fat is the fat directly under the skin and liposuction is a great solution for intra-abdominal fat in men.
The healing process after liposuction in men differs slightly from women. Recovery from any liposuction procedure varies with the individual. In most cases a man can return to work in one or two weeks. Men with more strenuous jobs will want to take up to four weeks to recover. Swelling and bruising can take a month and up to six months or longer to completely heal and disappear. Special post-liposuction clothing / undergarments (available here) are worn from one or two weeks to help in recovery time. These constrict the area helping to reduce swelling and mold the tissue that was disturbed back into place.
Not all men are candidates for liposuction surgery. Because it is a surgery and general anesthesia is used precautions and even avoidence of the procedure should be determined on an individual basis for those individuals that may have the following conditions -
