Liposuction for Men in Louisville – Dr. Lee Corbett
A common myth Dr. Corbett hears about cosmetic surgery is that it is just for women. Ironically, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), men made up 13 percent of all surgical procedures performed in 2016. Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for men. It was the fourth most popular male procedure in 2016, with an increase of 5% over the year prior. Liposuction removes targeted areas of fat in order to contour the body. In men, it is commonly used to treat the neck, chest, abdomen, and flanks.
Liposuction for Men: What Are My Options?
Liposuction removes areas of excess fat (“saddle bags,” “man boobs,” “turkey neck,” and “double chin”). Multiple areas can be treated in one setting, and liposuction is often used to refine the results of other plastic surgery procedures.
