Male Liposuction Surgery

     Simply put Liposuction is taking out the unwanted fat in certain areas of the body.  The process is rather simple but the result is quite satisfying.  Most body areas can be treated with Liposuction, though the most common areas in women are the abdomen, hips, and thighs.  Men are often treated for Liposuction in the chest, hips and abdomen and, of course, the "Love- Handles".   Liposuction is not limited to these areas; other places may include the upper arms, under the chin and the buttock. 

There is one basic technique used in all patients undergoing liposuction surgery. This technique involves the insertion of a hollow tube, or cannula, through a tiny incision into the layers of fat that lie deep beneath the skin. The cannula is connected to a suction device that literally vacuums the fat out as the surgeon breaks up the cells with a push/pull motion. 

Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods, and improve body contour.  The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people who have isolated pockets of fat that do not respond well to diet or exercise. Liposuction can be done at any age, but those with firm, elastic skin achieve the best results since elasticity lends itself to smoother contouring after the fat removal.

Liposuction is among most frequently performed surgeries by Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, in Port Jefferson Station, Suffolk County, New York.  At your complimentary consultation Dr. Diehl will discuss all aspects of the Liposuction Surgery with you.  Dr. Diehl will also determine whether you are a good candidate for the Liposuction Surgery.

Do the results of Liposuction last?

Liposuction results are permanent, as long as the patient maintains a healthy life-style, including exercise and a sensible diet.  Once the fat cells have been removed from an area there is no longer a preferential fat storage area, and any fat gain will be distributed more evenly over the rest of the body.

Does Liposuction leave scars?

Liposuction Incisions are made generally very small and put in areas that are more inconspicuous. Most cases of liposuction will heal well and it will be difficult to see where they were originally made.

What kind of recovery can I expect?

Recovery from Liposuction surgery is rather brief.  A few days of soreness and some bruising and swelling can be expected for about a week.   Usually patients can return to work in a couple of days and resume strenuous physical activity after one to two weeks.
