You will immediately know you’re in good hands once you meet with this team for a consultation for your male liposuction in Houston, TX.
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that contours the body by removing excess fat deposits. Also known as lipoplasty and suction-assisted lipectomy, it can be performed on men of all ages and body types. People often think it is just for women, but more and more men are getting the procedure to sculpt their bodies.
It can be performed on multiple areas of the body, but the most common areas for men are the abdomen, love handles, and chest.
While the procedure is essentially the same for both men and women, there are some anatomical differences that must be taken into account. Men have larger, more fibrous fat deposits and thicker skin. This can make it more difficult to remove the fat and achieve the desired results.
Lipoplasty can help improve your quality of life by accentuating the definition of your muscles, making you thinner, and helping you to look younger. The procedure can also help to improve your self-confidence and body image.
If you are unhappy with your appearance and would like to improve your quality of life, liposuction may be right for you. Lipoplasty can be used for:
The abdomen is one of the most common areas for fat accumulation in men. Fat can accumulate in the stomach area, causing what is often referred to as a “beer gut.” Suction-assisted lipectomy can help to remove the excess fat and give you a flatter, more toned stomach.
These are often difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. Male liposuction can remove the excess fat and give you a more toned appearance.
Other treatment areas can include:
The above treatment areas can easily be discussed with your surgeon during your consultation. It's not uncommon for men to treat multiple areas at one time. For example, you may want to treat your love handles and abdomen at the same time. Or some people may want to treat their back and neck at the same time. It all depends on your trouble areas and what you want to achieve.
You may be eligible if you have realistic expectations and are in good health.
The ideal candidate is someone who:
There are some health conditions that may make you ineligible for lipoplasty. These include:

The consultation is the most important part of the process. This is when you will meet with the surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns. The surgeon will examine your body and determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. They will also explain the risks and benefits of the surgery.

Once you have decided to have liposuction, there are some things you need to do to prepare for the surgery. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery. These instructions may include:
The Clinic for Plastic Surgery offers a variety of techniques to help patients achieve their desired results. We use the latest technology and equipment to provide our patients with safe, effective treatment, and we ultimately strive to deliver the best male liposuction Houston has to offer.
Vaser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to break up and remove fat cells. This technique is less traumatic to the surrounding tissues and results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising.
PowerX liposuction is a new, cutting-edge technique that uses a power-assisted suction device to break up and remove fat cells. This method may minimize superficial to large amounts of fat to achieve a more precise body contouring and sculpting. This technique is less invasive than a traditional procedure and results in less bleeding, swelling, and bruising.
At the Clinic for Plastic Surgery in Houston liposuction for men is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you can go home the same day. The surgery will take place in our state-of-the-art surgical facility. You will be given general anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the surgery.
Once you are asleep, the surgeon will make small incisions in the treatment area. A thin tube, called a cannula, will be inserted through the incisions to break up and suction out the fat cells. The surgery will take about 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed.
After the surgery is complete, you will be taken to our recovery room where you will be closely monitored. Once you are awake and stable, you will be able to go home.
You will need someone to drive you home after the surgery. You should also have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
You will likely feel some pain and discomfort after the surgery. Your surgeon will prescribe pain medication to help you manage the pain. You may also have some bruising and swelling. These side effects are normal and will resolve over time.
Most patients take about two weeks off from work to recover. You should avoid strenuous activity during this time. You will be able to return to your normal activities after 4-6 weeks.
You will see some immediate results after the surgery. However, it can take up to 3 months for the full results to be visible. The final results of your surgery will depend on your healing process and how well you follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions.
