Liposuction - Not just for Women

Plastic and cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years. But, did you know that it is not just women who want to look and feel better about themselves. Men also have areas of the body that they would like to change. Liposuction is one such plastic surgery procedure that doctors are treating both men and women alike.

Plastic surgeons reveal that it is not just women that are visiting them to look a little better. Men too, are becoming patients of plastic surgery. Men want to look better and be able to compete in the job world as they age just like women. Liposuction is a type of cosmetic procedure where an experienced plastic surgeon inserts a needle into the problem area and literally sucks fat from that area. This procedure is commonly thought of as something women have in order to achieve certain results that cannot be achieved at the gym. But, men too have problem areas.

All human beings have a genetic code that determines how their body will look. Where a person stores and carries fat is predetermined and cannot be spot targeted with certain exercise. The human body just does not work that way. So, science can step in to make that change.

A man may resemble his father’s face, but have other features that are from his mother as well. Like, for instance, his mother’s torso. Some men and women both feel that their features are not in proportion to the rest of their body. With liposuction, your body can be sculpted, so to speak, in a way that looks a little more appealing and balanced to you. And there is nothing that says a man can’t undergo this type of procedure to make a few changes to their physique.

Commonly, men choose to have liposuction done to their abdominal region. Sometimes a man’s belly can balloon out while having very skinny legs. Although some of that excess fat can be removed with diet and exercise a major reason it collects there is because of genetics. When there are a lot of fat cells concentrated in one area of the body, that area will grow larger in that area when weight is put on. This puts the body out of proportion. With this type of procedure, the excess fat can be removed, leaving the body looking more balanced.

However, the abdomen is not the only place on the male’s body that doctors treat. The chest, love handles, flanks, and even the chin and neck can all be sculpted a bit in order to give a more refined look.

Men and women are both affected by the signs of aging. Though it is different for each gender it still happens. And, men also feel that they have areas of the physique are tell tale signs of their age. Liposuction can be a great tool for men who are interested in shaping up as they age.
