Your guide to abdomen fat removal with liposuction for men

At White Pearl Medi-Spa & Nail Lounge, we get it—love handles aren’t always very loveable or even desirable. If you are a male in Des Plaines, Illinois, who is considering your options for getting rid of stubborn abdominal fat in your midsection, you may want to ask about liposuction for men. Let’s look at a few commonly asked questions Dr. Philip Conrardy and his team have heard regarding this treatment for men—and women!

What exactly is liposuction for abdomen fat removal?

Liposuction is best described as a cosmetic procedure that removes pockets of fat from areas resistant to diet and exercise—the abdomen is one of the most popular spots for men. Using a minimally invasive technique, Dr. Conrardy, our skilled specialist, will target and suck out those fat cells, giving you a more toned and defined appearance.

Am I a good candidate for abdominal liposuction?

Most men who are healthy, close to their ideal weight, and dealing with local fat deposits that will not budge are good candidates. If you are dreaming of a six-pack but feel like you’re stuck at the “dad bod” level despite your efforts, liposuction may be a great option. Remember that it’s not a weight-loss solution but a body-sculpting solution with faster results.

Does it hurt?

“Pain” is scary, but don’t worry—it’s not as bad as it sounds. You will be numbed before and during the procedure, so you should not feel much beyond a little tugging or pressure. Post-op soreness is more like the feeling after an intense workout than anything unbearable. Plus, most people return to their routines within a week after their initial treatment.

How long does the procedure take?

The liposuction procedure at our office is typically pretty quick! Depending on the amount of fat being removed and the areas being treated, the procedure itself can last an hour or so. After a short recovery at the clinic, you can head home the same day.

Actual Patient Before And After Results

Will I have scars or weird skin afterwards?

Liposuction involves tiny incisions strategically placed in less noticeable areas like the belly button or along natural creases. Over time, they fade to the point where most people don’t notice them. As for the skin, experienced surgeons ensure the results are smooth and natural-looking.

Do the results last forever?

Once those fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good. However, that doesn’t mean new fat can’t appear if you overindulge on burgers and fries. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-lipo is key to keeping your new and improved physique. Exercise and portion control can help you avoid revisiting the office for further treatments.
