Male Liposuction in Raleigh

Why Choose Male Liposuction

Liposuction, or simply lipo, is a procedure that specifically removes fat deposits in specific areas of the body. While women are more likely to use lipo to remove fat on the lower abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks, male liposuction is more often targeted on the abdomen, sides, breast, and shoulders. The end result is a more trim, toned physique.

There are two liposuction techniques: suction-assisted liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Suction-assisted liposuction is a procedure in which a solution of saline, water, and anesthesia is injected directly into the targeted fat cells, then suctioned out using a slim cannula, like an IV needle. On the other hand, ultrasound-assisted liposuction involves inserting a slim, specialized cannula which then vibrates at a rapid pace while releasing ultrasound energy. The high frequency liquifies the fat cells, allowing them to be suctioned out.
