Male Liposuction

Male liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes excess fatty deposits from the abdomen, flanks, chest, thighs, and upper arms for a more athletic appearance. As you age, exercise-resistant fat can be difficult to reduce with lifestyle changes alone. With liposuction, we can remove the excess fat while preserving the surrounding tissue for a natural appearance. In 2023, specialists performed more than 347,000 liposuction treatments to help patients achieve a slimmer figure. ⁽¹⁾

At PSI Miami, we have helped thousands of patients strategically sculpt their bodies with innovative body contouring procedures that require minimal downtime. Dr. Marcelo Ghersi and Dr. Salomon Puyana have decades of experience helping patients meet their body goals.

Why wait to achieve your dream body when a quick, well-tolerated procedure has helped thousands of others do the same?

About Male Liposuction

Male liposuction is designed specifically for men looking to improve their body shape through effective fat removal. The treatment is tailor-made to each individual and can create a more toned or muscular look, which may be especially important for individuals involved in competitive sports, physical labor, or those desiring a fit appearance. Given the differences in fat distribution and muscle structure between genders, male liposuction necessitates specialized techniques tailored to male anatomy.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia, a condition that causes men to develop abnormally large breasts, affects approximately 32-65% of men at some time in their lives. ⁽²⁾ Removing exercise-resistant fat is one of the most effective ways to address gynecomastia, ⁽³⁾ and rebalance your body proportions with long-lasting results.

Treatment for gynecomastia must be tailored to each patient’s unique needs, with options including liposuction, excision surgery, or a combination of both. Liposuction is ideal for cases where excess fat is the main contributor to breast enlargement, while excision surgery is necessary for removing significant glandular tissue that liposuction alone cannot address. In more complex cases, both procedures can be combined to target both fat and glandular tissue for optimal results. For severe gynecomastia, excess skin may also be removed to ensure a smooth, contoured chest.

Recovery times vary, but most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few days to several weeks. With our specialized treatments, we can help permanently remove excess fatty and glandular tissue to give you a smoother, more masculine look.

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL), removes excess fat with a specialized device that can create rapid vibrations, resulting in faster and more efficient fat reduction. During the treatment, we infiltrate the treatment area with tumescent fluid – a solution that contains saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine to reduce bleeding and provide a more comfortable recovery. Tumescent fluid also causes the fatty (adipose) cells to swell for easier removal.

For that “six-pack abs” appearance, we can perform liposuction with abdominal etching. During the treatment, we can use a cannula to highlight your muscle definition for a smoother, more muscular look. We can help you achieve natural results by customizing the procedure for your unique body proportions.

Bodytite Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL)

BodyTite RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction) is a minimally invasive option for men looking to remove stubborn fat while also tightening loose skin. For enhanced results, BodyTite RFAL can be combined with PAL male liposuction to address both fat removal and skin tightening. While liposuction effectively eliminates unwanted fat, BodyTite adds the benefit of radio-frequency energy to tighten the skin and improve overall contouring. This advanced technology melts fat for smoother removal and stimulates collagen production, which helps prevent loose or sagging skin after the procedure.

By incorporating BodyTite into your liposuction treatment, you can achieve a more sculpted, firm, and defined appearance, especially in areas like the abdomen, chest, and flanks. The recovery is still relatively quick, with minimal added downtime, ensuring long-lasting, natural-looking results.

VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) Male Liposuction

VASER liposuction is an advanced technique for men looking to achieve more precise fat removal and body sculpting. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER uses ultrasound technology to selectively break down fat cells while preserving the surrounding tissues, such as nerves and blood vessels. This allows for smoother fat extraction and greater definition in areas like the abdomen, flanks, chest, and arms, making it ideal for men seeking a more athletic, contoured look.

The VASER technique is particularly effective for refining muscle definition, such as creating six-pack abs or enhancing the chest. Recovery time is generally shorter due to its minimally invasive nature, and patients typically experience less bruising and discomfort compared to traditional liposuction. VASER liposuction not only removes fat but also enables us to shape and sculpt with precision, offering long-lasting, natural-looking results for men who want to enhance their body contours.

Male Liposuction Benefits

After male liposuction, you can enjoy several benefits, including:

Candidates & Consultation

Suitable candidates for male liposuction are men who can maintain a stable body weight but would like to eliminate excess fat for a more sculpted look. During your consultation, we will ask about your medical history, lifestyle, and current medications. It is also important that you have realistic expectations about the look that you would like to achieve. Please come prepared with any questions you have and bring photographs of your desired look if you have them. It is important to discuss your goals and any concerns you have to help us create the best treatment plan for your needs.

Preparation

Taking good care of your body before your procedure can help you achieve the best results from liposuction. There are several steps we recommend taking to ensure a smooth recovery:

Procedure

During the procedure, we will cleanse your skin and our anesthesiologist will place you under anesthesia. Dr. Ghersi or Dr. Puyana will make a very small incision to insert tumescent fluid, causing your fat cells to swell for easy removal. We will remove the excess fat with gentle suction while preserving your surrounding tissues. If you would like to highlight your muscle definition, we can also perform abdominal etching by applying radiofrequency to the fat cells. Dr. Ghersi and Dr. Puyana will sculpt your body strategically for your desired look. For gynecomastia treatments, we will remove the excess tissue for a flatter chest and a more masculine appearance. The procedure can take up to a few hours depending on the amount of excess fat you would like to remove.

Recovery

You can return home immediately after your procedure to recover. We will provide compression garments for you to wear to help your body heal. For the first few weeks, you will need to avoid intense exercise. You will also need to take good care of your skin and arrange for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Most patients can return to work after 1-2 weeks depending on the physical demands of their jobs. You will need to wait to return to intense exercise and strenuous activity for approximately four weeks. You can enjoy a smoother, more contoured appearance, improved body proportions, and increased self-confidence after liposuction.

Results

If you exercise regularly, eat healthy meals, and take good care of your body, you can enjoy long-lasting results. Many patients enjoy a smoother, more athletic, and masculine physique after eliminating excess fat on the abdomen, flanks, and chest. Patients can expect a more contoured appearance, improved body proportions, and enhanced self-confidence. Following a healthy lifestyle after your procedure can help you maintain your results for several years.

Tummy Tuck for Men

Although liposuction can eliminate excess fat, it cannot tighten severe droopy, loose abdominal skin. A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin on the abdomen for a tighter, smoother appearance. It is common to experience skin that is stretched from excess fat and cannot bounce back on its own. A tummy tuck is one of the most effective ways to eliminate droopy skin for a natural-looking and long-lasting result. During the procedure, we can make a thin, discrete incision along your underwear line to remove excess tissue and tighten the abdominal skin. Smoother, tighter skin does not chafe uncomfortably beneath your clothing so you can enjoy feeling more comfortable in your daily life. We can easily combine liposuction with a tummy tuck.

Cost of Male Liposuction in Miami

The cost of liposuction will depend on the amount of excess fat you would like to remove, your body goals, and whether or not you will need additional procedures to achieve your desired look. We can discuss your treatment plan and provide an all-inclusive quote during your consultation.
