Liposuction for Men

Vaser Liposuction is a procedure designed to assist men in targeting specific areas of fat that are resistant to other methods. The results can vary based on individual factors, and the overall effectiveness depends on a range of personal considerations. This method is generally less invasive than traditional liposuction techniques, but recovery times may differ for each individual. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is recommended to assess suitability and provide more detailed guidance.

At Cosmos Aesthetics, we’ve performed thousands of liposuction procedures for men across each of our clinics (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Canberra). Post Vaser liposuction, results such as a firmer body shape may be observed, however, outcomes vary between individuals. Our Vaser technology has the added benefit of tightening the skin, so you don’t need to concerned about having lax skin after the procedure.

THE PROCEDURE

Targeted fat reduction with Vaser liposuction

At Cosmos Aesthetics, we use Vaser technology for all liposuction procedures. Vaser, which stands for “Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance,” represents a significant advancement in liposuction technology, utilising ultrasonic energy to break apart fat cells before their removal.

Vaser offers a less invasive and more precise approach compared to traditional liposuction methods. Previously, male liposuction was described by some as attempting to extract a solid block of fat through a narrow tube, often resulting in increased discomfort and longer recovery periods. Vaser, however, uses ultrasound waves to separate fat cells from fibrous tissue, softening it for easier removal. This is particularly beneficial for men, as they tend to have more fibrous fat tissue. Additionally, the heat generated by the Vaser machine helps contract the skin, reducing the risk of excess skin after the procedure.

Liposuction for men is typically performed under local anaesthesia and twilight sedation, though general anaesthesia can be requested if preferred. Once the area is numbed, small incisions are made, and the Vaser probe is inserted. The probe moves back and forth, breaking apart the fat cells. As the tissue separates, a cannula is used to remove the fat from the body.

Treatment Areas for Men

Abdomen: Commonly treated to address fat stored in the midsection
Chest: Addresses excess fat and tissue in the chest area
Sides: Targets fat above the hip bones
Back: Treats fibrous fat in the back
Neck and Jawline: Addresses stubborn fat around the neck and jaw

Vaser Hi Definition

Vaser Hi Definition may be an option for men seeking more pronounced muscle definition. This procedure involves relocating fat to accentuate muscle groups such as the abdomen, chest, arms, and back. It suits men with good skin elasticity, quality and already visible muscle tone.

Vaser Liposuction Pricing

The cost of Vaser Liposuction varies based on factors such as the areas being treated, the amount of fat removal required, and the complexity of the procedure. At Cosmos Aesthetics, we provide customised pricing tailored to each individual’s treatment plan, ensuring a transparent and straightforward process.

Typically, pricing for Vaser Liposuction includes the procedure itself, anaesthesia (local or general, depending on preference), and post-operative care. During your consultation, your doctor will assess your specific needs and provide a detailed quote, outlining all associated costs.

POST SURGERY

Recovering from your male liposuction procedure

Vaser Liposuction is a surgical procedure that allows most men to return home the same day. While some discomfort and mild pain are common, medications will be prescribed to manage these symptoms. Some patients may experience fluid leakage from incisions for 3-5 days, but recovery is typically straightforward, with many returning to work within a week.

To support recovery, minimise swelling, and aid skin contraction, wearing a compression garment is essential. This is typically recommended for three weeks full-time, followed by three weeks part-time. Regular follow-up lymphatic massages—usually twice a week for two weeks—are also advised to promote healing.

Liposuction Recovery Tips

Wear your compression garments as instructed.
Maintain a nutritious diet.
Follow your body’s cues and rest as needed.
Care for your surgical sites.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.

Am I a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction?

If you fit the following criteria, you may be a potential candidate for male liposuction:

You have stubborn pockets of fat, despite exercise and diet efforts
You have realistic expectations regarding what liposuction can achieve
You are in good physical and mental health
You have good skin elasticity
You are willing to follow healthy diet and exercise habits after surgery to maintain results
You are a non-smoker or are prepared to quit in the weeks before and after surgery

Of course, the above criteria is just a guide. The best way to determine whether you are suitable for male liposuction is to meet with our Cosmos Aesthetics doctors for a consultation.

How do I prepare for my procedure?

During your consultation, your doctor will give you specific pre-operative instructions. To avoid surgical complications and ensure a speedy recovery, you must quit smoking at least two weeks before surgery, and your doctor may ask you to avoid certain medications and supplements. We also recommend that you prepare for recovery by purchasing comfortable clothes, preparing some healthy meals and filling any required prescriptions. You will also need to arrange for somebody to pick you up from the hospital and help around the house for the first few days after the procedure.

Is Vaser liposuction painful?

You should not feel any pain during your Vaser liposuction procedure, as you will be under twilight sedation and local anaesthesia. If you do experience any discomfort during recovery, you can alleviate this with medications prescribed by your doctor.

When will I see the results of my Vaser liposuction procedure?

Most men notice a subtle improvement immediately after surgery. However, you will need to allow time for post-operative swelling to subside and the skin to retract and tighten before your final results become visible. Your Vaser liposuction results will gradually improve over time, with your final results appearing at around six months.

Are the results of my liposuction procedure permanent?

Once your doctor has removed the fat cells from your body, they are permanently gone. However, you can still gain weight after male liposuction, as the remaining fat cells can grow in size. In order to maintain results in the long term, we recommend that our patients make healthy lifestyle changes following surgery, such as exercising more regularly and enjoying a more balanced diet.

How long does the procedure take to perform?

Your male liposuction procedure can take anywhere from one to four hours to complete, depending on the number of areas treated and the amount of fat removed.

How many liposuction procedures will I need?

At Cosmos Aesthetics, our doctors aim for a single liposuction procedure. However, men who wish to remove large amounts of fat may need a second procedure. Your doctor will give his suggestions on whether you may need a second procedure during your consultation.

How much fat can you remove from my body?

Depending on your distribution of fat and your desired surgical outcome, your doctor will remove between three and five litres of fat. Removing any more than this can put your safety and comfort at risk. In fact, one study found that removing more than five litres of fat can increase complication rates by 3.7 percent. As such, men who wish to remove more than five litres of fat will need to undergo a second liposuction procedure.

How noticeable are liposuction scars?

Liposuction for men, as with any invasive procedure, will leave behind a scar. Despite this, significant scarring following male liposuction is rare, as the incisions required to insert the Vaser probes are only small and will be placed in inconspicuous locations.

What are the risks and side effects associated with male liposuction?

Every invasive procedure comes with risk. However, Vaser liposuction for men is typically regarded as less risky than traditional liposuction. Some potential side effects to be aware of include:
