Dieting is no longer a task for women only. As a slim figure has become a marker of self-management, men with active social lives are also paying attention to their appearance. That is why many men set flatter stomachs and dieting, alongside quitting smoking and drinking, as their new year goals.
In reality, however, succeeding at a diet is not easy. When busy days take over, there may not be enough time to exercise, and late-night meals eaten while working overtime and frequent company dinners also get in the way of a controlled diet. The abdomen in particular is where fat settles easily, so far more exercise is needed there than elsewhere, which can bring stress over exercise as well.
Moreover, men with a low basal metabolic rate or a body-shape disorder find it hard to see results from exercise, which can make the stress severe and cost them confidence because of insecurity about their appearance. If the degree of obesity is serious, health problems can arise as well, and some men reach the difficult decision to consider male body contouring such as male liposuction.
According to Dr. Jaeho Cho of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, once a man has made the difficult decision to have male liposuction, he needs to understand accurately, through consultation with specialists in male body contouring, the characteristics that set male body contouring apart from the female body. A slim figure is an issue among men as well, but with male body contouring, bringing out masculinity through an inverted-triangle upper body and a hint of abdominal definition is what raises satisfaction with surgery.
To create such a figure, it is important to remove fat appropriately from each area, including the abdomen and the flanks. Beyond gaining a slim figure through abdominal liposuction and love-handle liposuction on the flanks, the concern of gynecomastia, where breast development makes the chest protrude like a woman's, can also be resolved.
Assessing the individual body shape through ultrasound diagnosis before liposuction is also necessary. Precise 3D ultrasound assessment allows minimal incisions without damage to soft tissue such as nerves and blood vessels, which raises surgical accuracy and safety.
This ultrasound assessment makes it possible to understand the individual body shape and to receive tailored male liposuction, and because there are no unnecessary incisions the recovery speed is also fast, which has made it popular among male patients who want to return to work even a day sooner.
Dr. Yongseung Seo said, “Since men usually have more muscle mass than women, it is important to identify the muscle and subcutaneous fat layers accurately through ultrasound fat analysis before liposuction,” adding, “It is best to choose a clinic equipped with an advanced system capable of precise 3D ultrasound assessment and with a specialised aftercare system that supports fast recovery.”
