Costs of Male Fat Deposits Removal

It used to be that cosmetic surgery and other treatments were considered appropriate only for women - that is, only women were willing to admit having had "work done." Nowadays, however, men are recognizing the benefits to looking their best. The good news is that there are just as many benefits to body sculpting for men as there are for their female counterparts. In the hands of a skilled cosmetic surgeon like Dr. John van Wert, those hard-to-shrink love handles respond well to treatment and because incisions are tiny, there are no visible scars to tip-off that the procedure was done. Vaser lipo is an effective way to accentuate musculature in areas where spot reduction is not possible. The procedure is becoming more common and acceptable among men, with some statistics placing the percentage of male body sculpting patients at or above the 12 percent mark.

When researching the costs of cosmetic procedures such as liposuction and lipo injection, men need to be aware that the price tag for a male patient may be different from female patients. Because men have larger bodies and treatment generally encompasses a larger area, the cost is usually higher. Additionally, men tend to request for fat deposits removal in areas of the body that are more fibrous and therefore more difficult and time consuming to work on. In addition to requesting work on more fibrous areas, the male body is more fibrous overall than a woman's, driving up the procedural time and the lipo cost.

This treatment, also referred to as lipodissolve, uses injectable dissolving fluids (enzymes, extracts, chemical agents and anti-inflammatory meds) to break down a targeted deposit of fatty tissue for suctioning out of the body. Lipo injection has been used for some time, but is relegated only to small areas of the body and for a relatively small amount of tissue. Risks are minimal and most commonly include bruising, swelling and soreness. Vaser LipoSelection and other newer fat deposits removal techniques that use ultrasonic dissolving technologies can often be used on larger areas with minimal side effect, but speak to a qualified cosmetic surgeon about all the risks and benefits.
