Sensible eating, regular exercise and a moderation of alcohol intake are the first steps to achieving a desired body shape. However, some men may opt for cosmetic procedures in order to aid in their goals.
Is liposculpture performed differently for men and women?
In a female liposculpture one creates a shape by altering the shape of the waist, hips and outer thighs.
In a male liposculpture by contrast the aim is to etch out the underlying muscle definition, to reveal the triangular slope of the back, to contrast the breadth of the shoulder against a tight narrow waist, and to uncover the pectoral muscles and the abdominal six pack.

Case Study One
This slender young male in his mid-20s had a disproportionate amount of fat around his abdomen, which he found impossible to shift despite vigorous excercise. A 2.2 litre liposculpture was performed to remove fatty excess and define his underlying muscularity.
Case Study Two
This man in his mid-30s had progressively gained fat on his chest and abdomen since his mid-20s. He also had male breast development (gynaecomastia). A 5.2 litre liposculpture was performed with particular emphasis on superficial undermining to ensure skin retraction. His abdomen was altered, including the muscular shape and the breast glands and fat were also altered.
Case Study Three
This man in his early 60s had a significant excess of fat across his torso. A 4.2 litre liposculpture was performed to remove fat from his abdomen.
Case Study Four
This man in his 50s presented with a large fatty abdomen. A 3 litre liposculpture was performed to remove his abdominal fat and define his abdominal muscles and back.
Let us take a look at each of the attributes that may contribute to a successful Liposculpture/liposuction result
Surgical skill
Dr Rastogi’s experience and training started in 1996, under Georgio Fischer, the surgeon who developed Liposuction as we know it today.
This training, and 27 years of experience, may allow him to maximise fat removal and skin contraction with techniques such as superficial undermining. Employing technologies and using microcannulas may further improve the result.
Clinical judgement
This comes from experience and training. It allows the surgeon to evaluate the skin, the fat and the underlying musculoskeletal structures before performing the procedure to determine the potential for his patient to achieve the desired result.
He evaluates the skin’s ability to contract, how much fat there is in an area and how much can be removed. He also evaluates any possible risks in performing Liposculpture surgery and how much fat can be removed for an effective result.
Passion
I believe it is essential for the surgeon to be passionate about his work, his results and also his patients’ wellbeing. It is usual for a patient contemplating Liposculpture surgery in Sydney to be apprehensive about the procedure and outcome. Empathy, comfort and patience from the surgeon allow the patient to express themselves so their goals can be understood.
