Liposuction for Men: Abdomen, Hips, Chest, Beer Belly, and Spare Tire

Men's bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. This is due to each individuals unique distribution of fat cells. Historically, storing fat was how our bodies survived during food shortages. Today, we are less fond of certain fat storage. Over the last 50 years, liposuction has proven to be an excellent means of removing fat that often cannot be worked off by exercising and dieting.

I have good news if you have been exercising or dieting and you still have fat deposits that you want to remove--you are an excellent candidate for Liposuction. A healthy person generally achieves results through Liposuction that are not possible through exercising and dieting. This is because bodies tend to store fat in areas that can only be reduced by surgery or extreme levels of caloric restriction.

Great liposuction occurs when a surgeon artistically sculpts and curves a body to maximize beauty. Before you consider liposuction, I recommend you watch the video below to learn more about what is possible through liposuction. I show you different body types in this video to give you a sense of what you might achieve through liposuction. In the video, I also answer the most common questions liposuction patients have during pre-surgery consultations.

Will A Nose Job Get Rid of the Hump On My Nose?

There are over 6 billion people on planet earth and every one of them has a different nose. Some noses have a hump, some noses have a slope and a few noses are straight. This blog entry addresses those who want to learn more about removing their hump, also known as a dorsal hump.

I have good news for you if you have a hump on your nose; this is the easiest nose to operate on. Because of the starting point, I have more to work with and can create different shapes through surgical artistry. This allows me to reduce the hump, flatten the hump, or even give you a slight slope.

Additionally, I encourage you to enjoy the video below which will help you see what is possible for you.  In the video, I also answer the most common questions nose surgery patients have during pre-surgery consultations.

Can I Set My Ears Back and Make Them More Symetrical?

Most people are born with ears that stick out and are not symmetrical. In fact, everyone has a lower and a higher ear and one that sticks out further than the other.

Although everyone has a degree of imperfection in their ears, I only recommend surgery when prominence and asymmetry are generally noticeable. Plastic surgery is an excellent choice for those that want to adjust the positioning of their ears. Fortunately, this is a simple and very successful surgery.

Please enjoy the video below if you are curious about what is possible with plastic surgery. The before and after pictures in this video will help you see what is possible for you.  I also answer the most common questions ear surgery patients have during pre-surgery consultations.
