Male Liposuction near Fort Lauderdale, FL
A growing number of men are choosing liposuction as a way to achieve a firmer, younger-looking upper body, reduce the noticeable signs of aging, obtain a more sculpted and masculine figure and get rid of unwanted body fat. Male liposuction is among the many specialties of Dr. David J. Levens, a board-certified plastic surgeon with an office in Coral Springs. He is one of the major surgeons in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County for cutting-edge cosmetic treatments and procedures.
What is Liposuction for Men?
Liposuction, which is also called liposculpture, is a type of aesthetic surgery that is performed with the intent of eliminating unwanted body fat and enhancing the body’s contours. In men, the body tends to accumulate fat in certain places, and these aren’t always the same areas where women struggle. Although almost every part of the body can be improved using this procedure, the areas where it is most frequently used include the low back, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, chest, and buttocks. The purpose of liposuction is to eliminate deposits of fat that fail to respond to a healthy diet and proper exercise. While the procedure can be done on its own, it is usually done alongside other procedures such as male breast reduction for gynecomastia or a tummy tuck.

Benefits of Liposuction for Men
Liposuction is a safe, widely used and highly effective treatment for sculpting the body, eliminating unwanted fat deposits and giving patients the athletic, toned and healthy-looking body they’ve always wanted.
Men can experience these benefits from liposuction:
- Shorter downtime compared to more invasive large incision or excisional plastic surgery.
- Scarring is minimal.
- Results are natural-looking.
- Effective on numerous parts of the body.
Good Candidates for Liposuction for Men
Liposuction is just one of the numerous treatments and procedures offered by Dr. Levens, and it’s not necessarily right for all men. Liposuction is not recommended for men who are extremely overweight or who have abdominal sagging, cellulite or stretch marks. These issues must be addressed through the use of other procedures. In most cases, good liposuction candidates include:
- Men within 30 percent of their optimal weight range.
- Men who possess good muscle tone and skin elasticity.
- Men who are in good health and don’t have health problems that would interfere with healing.
- Men who are non-smokers, since smoking inhibits healing.
- Men who expect realistic outcomes from the procedure.

What Happens During Liposuction for Men?
The liposuction procedure usually takes between one and two hours. Unwanted fat is removed from the target areas through small, barely-noticeable incisions. Dr. Levens performs this procedure on a regular basis and uses a variety of techniques that depend on each patient’s particular situation and needs. A specialized sculpting and contouring tool is employed for the procedure, which removes fat tissue from places such as the hips, thighs, abdomen, chest, chin and buttocks. Recovery time from liposuction is minimal, and most people can go back to work after a few days.
Recovery after Liposuction for Men
After the procedure, you should expect to have some fluid retention, swelling, bruising and tenderness. You will need to wear a special compression garment to help prevent swelling. The results of your treatment will soon be apparent, and you’ll see the complete results within three months. Any scars resulting from the procedure are small and will be inconspicuous. If you commit to a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, the results of your fat loss can be permanent. However, should you gain weight, it can undo the results of liposuction.
