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. The doctors at The Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery® have pioneered new liposuction techniques to achieve a more athletic appearance for the male patient. Liposuction is the removal of unwanted fat from the body.
A small incision is 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. The surgeons at ACPS® have over ten customized treatments designed to enhance the muscular physique of a bodybuilder or the former athlete now 20-50 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 3 weeks.
