Who Is a Good Candidate for Male Liposuction?

Ideal candidates for liposuction are healthy men at a stable weight who have positive yet realistic expectations for their results. You are likely an excellent candidate if you have done your research, have undergone an in-depth consultation with Dr. Small in Toms River or Stafford Township, and are highly motivated to follow preoperative and postoperative instructions. Additionally, you will need adequate time to set aside for the healing process.

How Is Male Liposuction Performed?

Dr. Small follows a safety-oriented approach with sedation, allowing the patient to rest peacefully while the work is performed.

General anesthesia is also an option if additional procedures are performed in combination with male liposuction.

To get started, Dr. Small will create tiny incisions in the targeted areas through which he will thread a slender tube known as a cannula.

The cannula is used to suction out fat that can be discarded or preserved for a future fat transfer procedure.

Dr. Small focuses on sophisticated and balanced results and does not over-remove fat, which might leave a patient looking gaunt. He strives to adhere to the highest standards of excellence by insisting on a holistic approach to care. After all changes are complete, Dr. Small closes your incisions with state-of-the-art suturing techniques.

After Male Liposuction Surgery

After liposuction, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising. It is critical to follow Dr. Small’s aftercare plan to the letter in order to ensure the best results possible. You will be prescribed pain medications and a broad-spectrum antibiotic to help with your healing process. Once you get home, you will need to wear a compression garment, which helps to reduce swelling and keep your newly sculpted contours in pristine condition.

Consistently wearing your compression garment will ensure a seamless recovery journey. Within a few days after surgery, you will be able to shower. Most patients can resume work within a few weeks, provided that their jobs are sedentary. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be postponed for around 4 to 6 weeks.
