Dr. Henry A. Mentz, III, MD, PA,
FACS, FICS - Before & After's
Stomach/ Love Handle Reduction
for Men
Just as women have the hormonally-induced
saddlebag thighs, so men have the hormonally-induced
spare tire around their middle section. This area is
made up of dense, fibrous tissue which in the past was
more difficult to remove.
Dr. Mentz in 1991 pioneered new liposuction
techniques that enhances muscular contour to achieve
a more athletic appearance for the male patient. Liposuction
is the removal of unwanted fat from the body. In this
technique more fat is removed in some areas, etched,
and some fat thickness is left in others to enhance
the muscular fullness. Small incisions 3 millimeters
in length are made in the skin just large enough to
accommodate a small hollow tube called a cannula. The
cannula suctions the fat from selected areas of the
body to create the desired contour. Any person who can
pinch 3/4 inch of fat in the abdomen can benefit from
this type of liposuction. Diet and exercise can only
reduce the spare tire so much.
During your clinic visit Dr. Mentz
can customize and taylor a strategy just for you. He
can design a treatment to enhance the muscular physique
of a bodybuilder or the former athlete now 10-30 lbs.
heavier. Significant body fat reduction can result in
a longer life, reduced lower back strain and allow a
more intense exercise program to diminish muscular skeletal
pain. These procedures are performed on an outpatient
basis, usually under general anesthesia. The patient
is able to be back at work in three to five days and
resume sports activities in 1-3 weeks.
Out of Town Patients
Out of town patients can schedule
their visit to Houston, a same day office visit for
registration, physical exam and informed consent and
plan their surgery for the next morning.
Usually patients plan their return home several days
after their surgery, depending of the extent of the
event. Let us help you with your arrangements by
calling Dr. Mentz's patient coordinator, Lupe Elizondo
at any of the listed numbers or email addresses.

FULL
ABDOMINAL ETCHING
In 1992 Dr. Mentz performed the first
athletic contoured liposuction in
the US and coined the operation "Abdominal
Etching." Since then he has made
multiple presentations on the topic
in the US and at international conferences. Dr
Mentz continues to improve this operation
to provide better results.

FULL
ABDOMINAL ETHING
The operation is performed by carefully
sculpting the abdominal fat pad to
create subtle enhancements of the
existing muscle. Recovery is quick
and the operation can be performed
easily on out of town patients with
a three day Houston stay.

ABDOMINAL ETCHING
In 1994 Dr. Mentz found that most
patients required only subtle contour
changes that provide very nice improvements
in an athletic appearance. Recovery
is generally 3 days and patients can
resume athletic activity in 2 weeks.

ABDOMINAL ETCHING
Careful tailoring of the fatty layers
of the abdomen can improve youthfulness
and contours. Etching in the midline
linea alba and contouring the abdominal
area to appear more muscular is one
of the tricks to a great male liposuction.
