Plastic Surgery for Men

Laser lipolysis also known as SmartLipo for man boobs or Gynecomastia

Quick alternative treatment for gynecomastia or “man boobs” is a laser treatment that lasts only thirty minutes.

Laser lipolsis is an in-clinic alternative to surgical liposuction that is performed under a local anaesthetic. A small incision is made on either side of the chest and a surgical tube with a blunt needle is inserted to vacuum out the fat.

Simultaneously a laser breaks up the fat cells for easy removal and tightens up the skin. This procedure is best suited for men that have stubborn pockets of fat that will not go away with normal diet and exercise. It is also effective to remove fat in and around the neck, face, chin, upper arms, back, hips, knees, tummy, ankles, inner and outer thighs. If additional areas are treated than it can take between 30 minutes to two hours. The patient feel an uncomfortable tugging at the area during the procedure and will be subject to brusing and swelling that will disapate within a week.

Recovery lasts a day or two and it is recommended to take at least a day off work as patients experience soreness after treatment. A surgical body stocking is worn for a week and limit heavy lifting or exercise for at least ten days. The reduction in “man boobs” is usually permanent. Complete effects of the treatment can be seen in around three to six months. Although costs for SmartLipo vary depending on the size of the area to be treated; you can usually expect to pay approximately $1,700 to $4,500 per area treated. Costs of SmartLipo will also vary according to the doctor or clinic performing the procedure.

As with any plastic surgery procedure it is important to find an experienced, skilled surgeon to achieve optimum results. This will help avoid risks and complications throughout the treatment procedure. In addition, discuss your needs and expectations prior to your procedure with the doctor.

Vaser Hi Def Liposculpture for Abs or Pecs

Vaser Hi Def Liposuction creates a more natural muscular appearance to the human form by using deep, superficial and transforming liposculpture techniques to specific areas such as abs, arms, chest etc. This procedure actually transfers the fat from one area to another to create a more athletic, muscular appearance.

Vaser Hi Def is a tumescent technique a super-wet method used with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) that has proven to help plastic surgeons provide patients with more precise results and quicker recovery time due to its improved ability to select what it resects and most importantly that it leaves behind much of the connective tissue, nerve and vascular tissue.

The procedure is intended for generally fit men who have good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or excess skin. The typical patient maintains a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise, but is unable to achieve the desired definition. Many patients report that they see results immediately after the procedure with the final result at around 3 to 6 months. It is important that you establish realistic expectations through discussion with your doctor.

Cost definitely varies from as low as $1600.00 for upper/lower Abs in Tennessee to $12,000 for Abs and chest in New York City. Definitely do your homework when it comes to this procedure as I have found on realself.com the reviews on not only tell us how much and where people went, but if they were happy with the results.
