Liposuction for Men Jacksonville FL

Q: Are you put to sleep for liposuction?

Liposuction can be performed under a local anesthetic which only numbs the treatment area or general anesthesia which puts the patient to sleep. It depends on how extensive your liposuction procedure will be and your comfort level.

Q: Can I get liposuction if I am overweight?

Liposuction is an excellent option for overweight people who want to sculpt or recontour their bodies. It may not be an effective treatment if you are obese (BMI greater than 30).

Q: Does fat come back after lipo?

Liposuction permanently removes fat so fat cells will not come back. However, it is important to maintain a good exercise and diet routine after liposuction since new or untreated fat cells can grow.

Q: Does liposuction get rid of cellulite?

Since cellulite is not the result of fat, liposuction is usually not the best treatment option for cellulite. In some cases, liposuction can actually make dimpling caused by cellulite worse.

Q: What is the ideal weight for male liposuction?

While there is no specific weight that an individual should be at to undergo liposuction, individuals should generally be within their goal weight. Most surgeons recommend being within at least 30 pounds of your goal weight or within 30% of your goal weight.

Q: Who is not a good candidate for male liposuction?

Men who are not within 30 lbs of their goal weight or who have serious medical problems, such as lung disease, heart disease, or other serious medical issues, may not be good candidates. Smokers are also more likely to have complications with liposuction. The best way to determine if liposuction is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Basile.

Q: How much weight can a man lose with liposuction?

Firstly, it is important to understand that liposuction is not a fat-loss procedure. Rather, it is a body contouring solution. However, depending on the size of the treatment area, the removal of fat may lead to a lower weight. Some people may lose five or more pounds of fat after liposuction.

Q: How much does male liposuction cost?

The cost of liposuction may vary depending on many different factors. To learn more about pricing for this procedure, please reach out to our Jacksonville Beach, FL practice today.

Q: What areas of the body can male liposuction treat?

Liposuction is a very versatile treatment and can address many areas of the body. In men, these areas may include the abdomen, back, neck, chest, flanks, hips, upper arms, buttocks, knees, calves, ankles, and more.

Do you work out regularly, but still have pockets of flab that you just can’t seem to get rid of? If healthy eating and physical fitness just isn’t working, you may want to consider Liposuction.

About Liposuction

As a male, you may want a leaner, more defined body, but it is possible that some areas are more stubborn than others. For example, men commonly carry excess fat in their chest, midsection, flanks and around the neck. Dr. Basile can use liposuction to remove these pesky fat cells and give you better contours for a tighter, leaner look. Depending on your goals, we can target specific areas to remove and re-contour to bring you one step closer to those aesthetic desires.

Am I a good candidate?

If you have stubborn areas of fat and are in good general health, you may be a good candidate for Liposuction.

How is Liposuction performed?

A Liposuction procedure can range from one hour to a few based on the amount of fat that needs to be removed. Dr. Basile will begin with a local or general anesthesia for a more comfortable process. Then, a small cannula, or thin tube will be inserted in small incisions to loosen the targeted fat. Once the fat is dislodged, it will then be suctioned out from the body.

Results and Recovery

You should expect minor swelling and bruising along with some pain post-procedure. Dr. Basile will prescribe medication to help make your healing more comfortable. You should take a few days off of work and a few weeks before resuming physical activity following your procedure. During recovery, you will be expected to wear tight compression garments to assist in reducing the swelling and help stabilize your new contour.
