Do you…

  • Hate trying on clothes – especially that moment when you don’t fit in pants that fit just last year?
  • Feel frustrated with your appearance, being unable to get rid of fat despite watching what you eat and exercising?
  • Envy other guys who walk around shirtless and don’t have a “dad bod” or “man boobs”?

You’re not alone. Over 40% of men feel self-conscious about their body shape. Diet and exercise are often simply not enough to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat. Nowadays, most men have accepted that they’re going to look this way forever. Fortunately, there is a way to get back the body you once had.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body such as the abdomen, arms, chest, and neck. It is one of the most popular and safest forms of cosmetic surgery that involves a minimally invasive procedure that uses small, thin tubes called cannulas through tiny incisions to remove unwanted pockets of fat.

Liposuction Surgery is Simple, Fast & Effective

Most of the patients who come in to discuss liposuction are frustrated. They’ve tried every diet on the planet, exercise a few times a week. But those stubborn areas of fat still won’t disappear. They want a lasting solution, and liposuction is often regarded as the best decision they’ve made.

Improved Contours

After surgery, their contours are improved, misplaced fat cells have been removed, and they no longer face a daily struggle against the inevitable.

These patients continue to watch what they eat and exercise regularly. Liposuction isn’t a reprieve from self-discipline.

Liposuction Pushes the Restart Button

But it evens the playing field. It presses the restart button on your body, so you continue life on a doable maintenance program – not an uphill sprint against reality.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

Dr. Chappell uses Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) to re-contour your body so you can wear today’s fashions, including swimsuits. PAL was developed to add precision to the fat-removal process. With PAL, we can target fat cells in the upper thigh and buttock area precisely. The fat is removed with greater ease, with less stress to the body, and the result is smoother and more streamlined.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How will my skin look after surgery?

The changes following liposuction are similar to what you’d see if you could lose an equal amount of localized fat through diet and exercise. As with diet and exercise, dimples, ripples and stretch marks can’t be removed.

Will liposuction get rid of cellulite?

Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite.

What will my recovery be like?

You will wear a snug elastic dressing, girdle, or body stocking over the treated area for the next several weeks. You’ll go home after the procedure and rest for at least 24 hours. You can expect some pain along with bruising and swelling in the first few days after the procedure is performed.

After 2- 3 days, you may resume non-strenuous activities. You may gradually increase your activity as tolerated. Serious exercise will have to be postponed for 14-30 days or more.

Liposuction and Weight Loss Can Work Together

While some people label liposuction as the lazy person’s alternative to diet and exercise, it is not. Recent news reports show weight management physicians using liposuction as an adjunct to a healthy weight reduction program.
