Why Would A Man Choose To Get Liposuction?
When people think of things that are stereotypically male, they might list off such things as hunting, big trucks, beer and sports. Probably very few people would think to mention liposuction. However, this surgical procedure (which is also called lipoplasty and suction lipectomy) seems to be growing in popularity among men.

When people think of things that are stereotypically male, they might list off such things as hunting, big trucks, beer and sports. Probably very few people would think to mention liposuction. However, this surgical procedure (which is also called lipoplasty and suction lipectomy) seems to be growing in popularity among men.
Each year, men comprise somewhere around 10% of the lipoplasties performed in the United States. In 2008, roughly 31,000 male lipoplasties were performed in America. Surveys and polls seem to suggest that the number of men who would consider getting cosmetic surgeries such as lipectomies are on the rise. In some surveys, the level of male interest in cosmetic surgery seems to rival or even surpass that of women.
It’s certainly true that men seem to be taking more of an interest in their appearance these days. There are more fashion and beauty-related products being marketed to men.
People have been talking for a while about the effect that seeing ultra-fit and skinny fashion models and actresses has on women and girls. People are now beginning to talk about the effect that seeing impressively muscular, fit and ripped male models and actors have on men. Men are having more and more pressure put on them to look ideal. All of these factors, as well as the loosening of traditional gender roles could help to explain the rising interest in male lipoplasty.
Men get lipoplasty performed in a number of areas. Because men’s bodies are different than women’s, there are different fat-distribution problems that the surgery addresses. The most popular area for men to get lipectomies is their abdomen.
Men fairly naturally tend to store a large amount of their body fat around their abdomens. This can occur in the front, where it causes a “beer belly” effect, and it can also happen on the sides, where it causes “love handles.” A lipoplasty can frequently help to offset these. In some rare cases, it can even be used to help a man to achieve six-pack abs.
It’s also relatively common for a man to get a lipoplasty to help fix “man boobs.” When men store excess fat around their chests, it can be a very embarrassing thing. Some men feel that this extra fat makes them look unmanly. Often, liposuction can help by removing some of the excess fat.
Another place where the procedure can help men is around the face and neck. Getting fat removed from one’s face can help to minimize overly large cheeks, reduce jowls and remove double chins. This can often help a man to appear younger and more attractive than before.
