Liposuction for men is one of the most commonly performed male cosmetic procedures. Stubborn body fat that won’t respond to traditional methods of fat reduction like dieting and exercise can significantly diminish the attractive appearance of a well-defined and well-proportioned masculine male body.
At the Cosmetic Surgery Center of Santa Monica, our goal is to provide our patients with the exceptional surgical care they need to feel good about the appearance of their bodies. We offer liposuction for men who want to sculpt and refine the appearance of their physique.
In general, men are excellent candidates for the liposuction procedure. Men usually have good skin tones with well-defined localized areas that need treatment. Areas such as the neck and love handles are resistant to regular diet and exercise yet can make you appear older and heavier than you are. Using tumescent liposuction to trim these areas is a safe, simple, and very effective way to improve your overall appearance as well as self-confidence.
As men tend to have a thicker dermis (the undersurface of the skin) and a more fibrous fatty layer, liposuction can be a little more difficult to perform. However, for the same reasons, in experienced hands, men often get the best results of all. While experience is important for all cosmetic surgery this is particularly true for liposuction in men where a different set of cannulas and a modified technique are needed to optimize results.
When performing liposuction for the male body, extreme care and precision must be used to ensure that the results provided enhance the masculine appearance of the patient’s figure. A trim, tight, and straight figure is ideal, so fat needs to be removed evenly across the treated areas.

Recovery from liposuction is relatively easy, and complications associated with the recovery period are minor and do not occur frequently. Soreness, bruising, and discomfort are common and can be easily managed with medication as recommended.
Most patients need around two weeks to recover from liposuction before they can return to their normal activities. More strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and hard exercise may need to be avoided for a few additional weeks. The incisions used to perform the procedure are small and should not leave noticeable post-surgical marks.
