Image isn't everything. But, in today's hectic, competitive environment, it can make a big difference. Studies have shown that the male cosmetic surgery trend is closely tied to career advancement. In a recent nationwide survey on the importance of appearance and job success, 84% of men believed physical attractiveness was important for power and success on the job, and 32% of men agreed that if they had a more youthful appearance, it would positively impact their job success. You may have tried to diet and exercise on a regular basis, only to find that those "love handles," fatty breasts, belly, and that fatty pouch under your chin just won't go away. Your reasons for choosing to have liposuction may be as simple as just wanting to look better at the beach or on the job. While liposuction is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, it can make you look and feel better.

Question:
What is Tumescent liposuction?
Answer:
With the Tumescent technique, large volumes of saline solution, local anesthesia, and adrenaline are infused into the fatty area being treated to cause swelling. This enables your surgeon to maneuver a small instrument called a cannula, connected to a vacuum machine, superficially under the skin. The cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue through tiny incisions. Your surgeon gently moves it around under your skin and suctions away the unwanted fatty deposits to reveal more attractive contours.

Question:
What areas can be treated by liposuction?
Answer:
The most frequent areas treated by liposuction in men are:

• the "love handles"
• breasts
• abdomen
• neckline

Question:
Is the fat removal permanent?
Answer:
Yes! It seems that after puberty, we do not create new fat cells. When you gain weight, you expand the fat cells that you have. Tumescent liposuction permanently removes fat cells to improve your body's contour. Should you gain weight after liposuction, it goes to the fat cells that remain in your body. The localized fatty deposits that existed prior to liposuction can no longer balloon up out of proportion to the surrounding areas.
