Liposculpture - MEN
For
decades many people have wanted to change their appearance and shape
by removing deposits of excess fatty tissue. This dream became a reality
beginning in the 1970's and 1980's. The procedure of liposuction, initially
called suction assisted lipectomy was invented by Arpad and Giorgio
Fisher in Rome. Further developments were made by Yves Illouz in Paris,
but another Parisian Dr. Pierre Fournier was a sentinel figure in making
the technique more popular. The technique spread to America early.
Continually
refined in both Europe and America it is now the world's most popular
cosmetic surgery procedure.
Modern
liposculpture though really came of age when transformed by Dr. Jeffrey
Klein of San Juan Capistrano in California. Since 1985.he has developed
what is now called the tumescent technique in which a local anaesthetic
solution is used to numb the tissue before the procedure is commenced.This
solution also vastly reduces the amount of bruising after the procedure,
which used to be a major complication of liposuction surgery.
Much
more refined results are possible with liposculpture than with conventional
liposuction. As the patient can stand towards the end of the procedure
final adjustments can be performed which improves the overall result.
The figure can be truly sculpted. Liposculpture has a high
rate of patient satisfaction.

In
general men's unwanted fatty deposits are most commonly over
the abdomen and the flanks or 'love handles'. Here are some examples
of just how liposculpture can help men achieve a fitter looking,
more masculine shape.
Examples
As
you can see a dramatic improvement can be achieved in outline.
But it is not only men with substantial deposits of fat that
can be treated effectively with liposculpture. Some men who have
relatively small volumes removed can have a greater percentage
of the fat taken away from an area achieving a dramatic and permanent
change in shape.
Example
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction in men is a very commonly requested
procedure, regardless of whether the material is fatty tissue,
breast tissue or a combination of both. Hereditary deposits of
fat over the breast can often cause men unwanted embarrassment,
a problem which liposculpture can eliminate. It is possible to
go to the beach and wear tighter fitting shirts with new confidence.
Example
Neck
In both men and women the neck and under the chin can be successfully
sculptured to give a more youthful appearance. Of all the areas
of the body which can be treated with liposculpture, the neck
can be the most rejuvenating. Many people will comment that you
look younger without even realising just why.The underlying skin
firmly attaches to the structures beneath, and just as with other
areas of the body, looseness of the skin is very unusual.
