In modern society, broad shoulders, defined chests, flat abdomens, and toned flanks and thighs are the apex of male beauty aesthetics. The desire for men to achieve this ideal body image is becoming more apparent. Cosmetic surgery was once female dominated, but now an increasing number of men are taking advantage of cosmetic surgery. While the majority of procedures are still marketed to the female audience, men are becoming less concerned about the stigma of getting plastic surgery.
Getting Rid of Stubborn Fat
Liposuction, a procedure that removes stubborn fat from targeted areas, is minimally invasive and requires little downtime during recovery. It is no surprise that this procedure is becoming increasingly popular among men who are looking to tighten certain areas of their body. Liposuction can be a standalone procedure or be combined with other procedures to achieve the patient’s specific goals. Desired results can be achieved in one treatment, and results tend to be more predictable. Liposuction can treat areas of the body, such as the upper arms, chest, abdomen, flanks, hips, buttock, and thighs. Recovery time after liposuction varies from two to seven days depending on the amount of fat removed and the areas treated. Bruising and swelling may still be present after the initial recovery period and may take two weeks to dissipate depending on the individual.
Want a Flatter Abdomen?
Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. This procedure can also repair and strengthen the muscles of the midsection. The downtime for a tummy tuck is usually a minimum of seven to 10 days. However, if a patient’s job requires a lot of standing, two weeks is preferred to promote proper healing. Patients should wear an abdominal compression garment to help reduce swelling for up to six weeks. After six weeks, patients can return to all activities. If you have any questions about the healing process, feel free to set up a consultation with our office.
After Extreme Weight Loss
It is an exciting personal victory to lose weight and improve your overall health through diet and exercise. In cases of extreme weight loss, sagging, excess skin is left behind and can often be a source of self-consciousness. Procedures such as an upper arm lift, body lift, and thigh lift can help a patient attain the body they have always wanted.
