Male Aesthetics

Liposuction for Men

Targeted fat removal to sharpen masculine contour across the chest, abdomen, and flanks.

What it is

Liposuction removes localized fat through small incisions using fine cannulas to refine masculine contour, commonly across the chest, abdomen, and flanks (love handles). It reshapes a specific area rather than reducing overall weight.

It is a contouring procedure, not a treatment for obesity. Results depend on skin quality, since the skin must retract over the new contour, and a stable weight protects the outcome.

What it can improve

  • Stubborn fat over the chest, abdomen, and flanks
  • Masculine contour and proportion
  • Smoother transitions when adjacent areas are treated

It does not treat obesity, does not tighten significantly loose skin, and does not build muscle.

Quick facts

  • Procedure time: 1--3 hours depending on areas
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation
  • Clinic stay: Same-day or short stay
  • Recovery: Around 1--2 weeks before light daily activity
  • Exercise: Strenuous activity from about 4--6 weeks
  • Final result: Settles over 3--6 months

Before the procedure

You will receive individualized preparation guidance and a compression garment plan. Treatment areas and realistic outcomes are planned at consultation.

During the procedure

Through small incisions, fine cannulas remove fat evenly to sharpen the contour, leaving a smooth layer beneath the skin for a natural, masculine result.

After the procedure

Swelling, bruising, and firmness are normal and settle gradually. A compression garment supports the new contour, and activity is increased gradually.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A sharper, more defined masculine contour is achievable. Liposuction cannot tighten loose skin or prevent future weight gain, which can change the result. A stable weight protects the outcome.

Possible risks and complications

All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:

  • Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness
  • Contour irregularity or asymmetry
  • Fluid collection (seroma)
  • Loose skin where retraction is limited
  • Rare but serious risks including blood clots and fat embolism

Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems and wound complications, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential.

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.
