Plastic Surgery Affiliates offers male liposuction in Nashville for men who want to reduce excess fat on their bodies. Dr. Olivia MaDan offers various plastic surgery procedures to male patients in Nashville, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Franklin, Smyrna, and the surrounding areas of Tennessee.
Male liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic body sculpting procedures in Nashville. Dr. MaDan recommends liposuction for men who have small areas of fat that do not indicate the need for more extensive surgery. Liposuction may be combined with surgery to refine the results of your tummy tuck, gynecomastia surgery, and other body procedures.
Liposuction involves making small incisions in the skin to access the fat layer. The incisions are small enough that sutures are generally not required. A flexible tube is inserted through the incision, and the tube is used to dislodge and suction out the fat. Dr. MaDan uses various techniques to help with fat removal, such as using energy sources to melt the fat prior to removing it with the cannula.
When performed alone, male liposuction requires little recovery compared to body contouring surgeries that require the removal of fat and skin in Nashville. You will need to avoid placing pressure on the area for a few days or longer. Common symptoms after liposuction are tenderness, swelling, bruising, and moderate discomfort.

During the recovery process, the skin will naturally tighten and should reduce loose skin. However, the extent of this tightening will depend on a number of factors, including the age of the patient and the amount of fat that was removed during liposuction. Patients who are interested in skin tightening may want to combine or follow-up their liposuction treatment with skin tightening services.
Generally, patients lose one to two sizes with liposuction, although this will vary depending on the patient’s size, treatment goals and personalized treatment plan. In many cases, patients find that liposuction gives them the mobility and motivation to continue losing weight, which can result in continued changes after the liposuction treatment.
After liposuction, swelling is most severe within the first few days of treatment and will begin to fade substantially after the first two weeks. Some minor swelling may persist for another month or two after this, but it is generally only noticeable to the patient. You can expect a full recovery within three months.
There is no minimum weight required for liposuction. Patients who are interested in liposuction should be within about 20 to 30 pounds of their ideal weight. Generally, patients with a BMI between 18 and 30 are good candidates for liposuction.
Liposuction has no direct benefit to weight loss. However, many patients find that liposuction helps them feel better about themselves and about being physically active. This often results in increased motivation to lose weight, which in many cases, does make it easier for a person to lose weight. Therefore, if liposuction motivates you to improve your health habits, then it can lead to successful long-term weight loss.
