A Guide To Men's Liposuction and How It Can Help The Abs

Liposuction for men may focus on different areas than procedures for women. The most popular are the neck, chest, abdomen, and flanks/love handles for men.

Liposuction is designed to remove fat below the skin using incisions that may heal to leave behind a scar. Liposuction isn't a weight-loss procedure and should not be confused with one.

Nonetheless, removing fat from these specific areas can significantly change your appearance and body contours.

Liposuction has progressed throughout the years, specifically with the tumescent technique, which uses a numbing solution to limit pain and bruising.

Some procedures use ultrasound and laser technology to prepare the fat by "melting" it for easier removal.

 

Male liposuction procedures commonly use laser or ultrasound technology to help dissolve the fat, making it much easier to remove.

Can Liposuction Help You Get Abs?

Given that men's abdominal liposuction removes fat from the midsection, it is possible to obtain a more chiseled ab look post-procedure.

It's recommended that any patients experiment with exercise and diet before considering a cosmetic procedure; therefore, the best male candidates for these procedures usually have a fairly fit lifestyle.

That being said, they may already have developed abdominal muscles that are not noticeable over the layer of fat that surrounds their midsection.

Remember that even the fittest humans don't always have pronounced abdominal muscles, given that genetics play a huge role in their aesthetics.

Nonetheless, if enough fat is removed from the midsection, the abs can appear more pronounced, which allows for a more aesthetic core.

What's The Best Fat Removal Procedure For Me?

AirSculpt® offers the optimal fat removal procedure for obtaining a more sculpted midsection.

Elite Body Sculpture's surgeons are masters at fat removal, completely revamping liposuction for men in Seattle by providing safe and comfortable results without scalpels, stitches, needles, or general anesthesia.

Their abdominal fat removal process consists of the following steps:

1. The Elite Body Sculpture surgeons first use the AirPen to numb the midsection. The AirPen is a device that uses pressurized air to administer numbing medication to the skin instead of needles.
2. A tiny 2-millimeter-wide, symmetrical opening is made on the upper abdomen with a biopsy punch rather than a scalpel.
3. A local anesthetic is applied through this entry point, allowing the patient to be treated without general anesthesia. This step minimizes risks compared to traditional liposuction.
4. The patented AirSculpt® cannula is inserted, seamlessly removing the fat from the midsection cell-by-cell with unmatched precision.
5. The opening is naturally left to heal without stitches, leaving a tiny mark the size of a freckle, unnoticeable to the naked eye.
