Best Candidates for Liposuction - Men

Liposuction can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it may not change your looks to match your ideal image.  The best candidates for liposuction are of relatively normal weight and healthy, but have relatively well-localized area of fat deposits.  Having firm, elastic skin will result in a better final contour.  Hanging skin won’t reshape to your body’s new contours, and may require an additional procedure to surgically remove the excess skin. 

Liposuction is not recommended if you’ve had surgery in the area to be sculpted, if you have poor blood circulation in that area, if you have heart or lung disease, or if you are generally over-weight.  You should also understand that liposuction will not improve the dimpled skin known as cellulite.

While this web site can give you some basic information about liposuction, you may feel free to contact Dr. Bartell’s office for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss the procedure in more detail, view many pre- and post-operative examples, and address your particular needs.
