Indications
Liposuction in men usually treats areas of fat accumulation typical of male body fat distribution, such as the flanks, abdomen and submental area (under the chin).
It is not a weight-loss method and does not replace lifestyle habits; the indication and treated areas are assessed individually in consultation.
Commonly treated areas
- Flanks — the sides of the torso, a common area of fat accumulation in men.
- Abdomen — localized fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
- Submental area — under the chin.
Assessment
Areas defined individually
Fat distribution in the male body has its own characteristics; treated areas and technique are defined according to each person's anatomy.
How it is performed
Carried out in a hospital setting, under anaesthesia agreed with the team. Through small incisions, cannulas remove fat from the planned areas. Technique and volume treated vary according to the case.
Recovery
Swelling, bruising and discomfort in the first weeks are expected. A compression garment and the timing of return to activity are advised individually. Final contour develops over weeks to months.
Risks and factors that influence the outcome
Like any surgery, it involves risks — related to anaesthesia, contour irregularities, bleeding or infection, among others — discussed individually.
Skin quality and elasticity, weight, smoking and adherence to post-operative care affect the outcome, which varies from person to person.

Yes, the submental area is often one of the treated areas, assessed individually according to the case.
Can liposuction be combined with gynecomastia treatment?
Yes, when there is an indication for both areas — the combination is assessed individually in consultation.
