Male Liposuction and Gynecomastia:

Men liposuction is increasingly becoming popular among males. In recent times, many men have undergone body-shaping procedures such as liposuction and male breast reduction surgery. An increasing number of males are turning to plastic surgery to reform their physical appearance.

Men liposuction is somewhat costlier than female liposuction procedure. The reason for price difference is that male physique is more fibrous, especially the chest, abdomen and love handles.

Surgeons, sometimes, perform male breast reduction surgery in combination with lipoplasty, wherein a suction device goes inside the body via existing incisions. However, for the removal of too much fat only, men liposuction is the solution. Wounds are nominal and indistinct.

Normally, results are permanent. However, obesity after surgery can create a gynecomastia effect.

Certain advantages of this surgery include a smoother, firmer and more outlined chest, which may offer the patient a sudden boost in self-confidence. It also removes puffy nipples in males.

The downtime is very short and patients may get back to their routine work within one week only, until and unless they engage in tiring activities.

Further, for a quick heal, patients might be provided with elastic pressure garments to wear for around three to six weeks, to firmly avoid direct sunlight for the next six months.
