Male Liposuction in Korea: Transformative Results and Confidence Boost
Unlock a more sculpted, confident you with male liposuction in Korea. Learn why AAS is the premier choice for advanced, natural-looking body contouring.
Gone are the days when beauty procedures were common to just women. More and more men nowadays are choosing to break stereotypes regarding men’s cosmetic surgeries.
Liposuction is becoming popular not just among women but also among men. It is also becoming a key component in “daddy do-over” surgeries, which are cosmetic procedures for men that aim to help men restore their physiques and boost their confidence.
Male liposuction is the reshaping of the problematic areas of the body with excess fat that is stubborn and resistant to exercise and diet. It targets problem areas and gives men a sculpted and defined appearance by eliminating fat from certain areas of the body that need improvement by adding definition and improving the contour of the muscles.
It’s important to note that liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets specific areas that have hard-to-remove fat stored and is not a weight loss procedure.
It can be performed on the tummy, pubic area, chest, and thighs. The male liposuction procedure is done by making small incisions on the body through which a cannula is inserted and excess fat is suctioned out.
A recent survey done by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery showed that over 1.9 million liposuction procedures were done in 2021, out of which about 1.3 million procedures were performed on men.
Detailed statistics revealed that about 8% men received non-invasive procedures and 13% received invasive procedures like liposuction in the past few years, showing how gender roles are changing and men are starting to accept that it’s okay for them to want to feel and look their best.
Common areas for Male Liposuction
Male liposuction can be done on different body parts, and it can address areas where fat deposits accumulate. The most common problematic areas where liposuction for men can be done are;
Chest:
Gynecomastia surgery, most commonly known as male chest liposuction, removes excess fat from the chest area. It is done to achieve a more masculine chest profile that can boost men's self-esteem and appearance.
Tummy:
Male tummy liposuction focuses on the abdominal area and works by flattening and defining the stomach, giving men the most desired 6-pack abs.
It is considered an ideal procedure to remove unwanted fat that results in a natural-looking and sculpted stomach.
Pubic Area:
The procedure of liposuction of the pubic area eliminates the fat cells that may be causing discomfort or an unwanted bulging appearance. By removing the fat present, a smoother look can be achieved that may enhance comfort and confidence among men.
Male Thigh liposuction:
Male thigh liposuction targets the stubborn fat in the thigh region to create a more proportionate and defined lower body. It can enhance the leg contour and the overall shape of the body.
Full Body Liposuction:
Male full body liposuction overall reshapes the body by targeting multiple areas like the chest, back, and arms. It is an all-in-one procedure for a more balanced and streamlined look.
The Procedure
The Liposuction techniques include wet and dry methods that are typically performed under general anesthesia. However, local anesthetics can also be used to remove small fats.
Limits on fat and fluid removal may vary depending on the clinic you choose and the expertise of the surgeon. We’ll talk about both techniques here in detail;
Dry Liposuction
Dry liposuction is also known as the traditional liposuction procedure. It is an invasive method that requires the patient to be under general anesthesia, as it is painful and time-consuming.
The surgeon marks the targeted area and places small incisions through which a cannula is passed that breaks up the fatty tissue by moving to and fro. A high-pressure vacuum suctions out the fat. Any excess fluid and blood are also drained out at the end of the procedure.
This procedure includes risks and in rare cases, can cause nerve damage and tissue death due to damaged blood vessels. The biggest risk is excessive blood loss, which can lead to shock and fatal results. Side effects include heavy bruising, swelling, weakness, and pain. Recovery can take months and leave patients unsatisfied with the results.
Wet Liposuction
Wet liposuction is a procedure that uses a solution of saline, lidocaine (a local anesthetic), and epinephrine that are injected into the treatment area by your surgeon before fat removal.
The rest of the process is the same as the dry method that uses a cannula to break up fat but it is more efficient and smoother, as the lidocaine numbs the area and epinephrine constricts blood vessels, resulting in minimized blood loss.
Planning your liposuction journey
It is important to consider things like costs, scarring, and expected results when you’re planning your liposuction journey. At “All About Seoul,” we guide you every step of the way so that you have a smooth and informed journey.
Liposuction Cost
The cost of male liposuction varies depending on various factors like the level of experience of the surgeon, the location of the clinic, anesthesia, the extent of the procedure and post-operative care.
However, Korean clinics offer competitive rates that are much more affordable than Western countries and offer world-class services to their clients.
Results(Before and After)
Liposuction is tailored to each individual's unique body structure in Korea. You can set your expectations for the results of the procedure by looking at the liposuction before and after male photos present on the clinic’s website that you are choosing.
They can give you a realistic idea of the potential male liposuction results. Thus, you can expect precise body contouring that delivers natural-looking and long-lasting results because Korean clinics utilize advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques for the procedure.
Scars
Even though Korean surgeons are highly skilled and experienced, scarring is unavoidable as liposuction is a surgical procedure.
However, with Koreans using cutting-edge technology, only small, well-hidden scars occur at the incision sites. It’s important to discuss the possibility of male liposuction scars with your surgeon and ways of minimizing them.
Recovery timeline and process
The recovery time for male liposuction can vary depending on the extent and site of the procedure.
● Most patients can return to work within a few days, but because connective tissues loosen during the procedure and cavities are made from where the fat has been removed, it’s essential to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks.
● Patients are advised to wear a special compression garment for 5–6 weeks to help with this and tissue healing.
● Few patients may need draining for a few days if they have fluid build-up.
● Full recovery can take a few months, during which the swelling gradually subsides.
● Applying cold compresses and keeping the treated areas elevated is also advised in some cases.
Reasons for men getting liposuction
Male liposuction's growing popularity reflects a larger cultural movement towards self-improvement and body positivity. Men opt for liposuction for several reasons:
Reduction of fat
Men may want to remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise to achieve a youthful and defined appearance.
Muscle definition
Male liposuction can help accentuate the chest, abdomen, thighs, or arms muscles and enhance muscle definition.
Self Confidence
An improved body image can boost self-confidence and improve quality of life, so the psychological benefits of male liposuction are also significant.
Comprehensive transformation
Some men may also go through multiple types of liposuctions to completely transform them and achieve personal goals.
Even fat distribution
Men also choose to get liposuction to improve their body proportion, e.g. an overly prominent abdomen or a disproportionate distribution of fat may look unattractive.
Is it safe and permanent?
Liposuction is a safe surgical procedure, and working with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon reduces the risk of complications during liposuction, too.
The surgeon and medical team conduct a physical exam, discuss medical history, and conduct essential blood work to make sure the procedure is safe for you.
Side effects like infections and fat embolisms can be easily treated but can also be avoided with proper aftercare.
Even though liposuction removes the fat permanently from the body, there’s still a chance that you’ll regain fat if you don’t maintain a healthy weight.
