Liposuction may be considered for reducing excess fat in certain areas of the body. These can include:
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Flanks (sides)
- Chest
- Chin

Each area is assessed based on the individual’s body shape, skin characteristics, and personal goals. This procedure is not a weight loss method but may be suitable in specific cases where fat remains after changes to diet or physical activity.

FINANCE INFORMATION
How much does it cost?
The cost of liposuction for men can vary based on the area or areas being treated, the complexity of the procedure, and other factors such as the practitioner’s fee and medical facility fee. Be sure to discuss the total cost during your consultation.
Who is a suitable candidate for liposuction for men?
Liposuction for men focuses on reducing localised fat deposits and is not intended as a weight-loss procedure. It may be considered by patients who are close to a stable weight but have fat in specific areas that has not responded to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
Patients who may be suitable are generally in good overall health and without medical conditions that could increase risks or affect recovery. Skin quality is also an important factor, as this can influence how the treated area looks after the procedure.
Non-smokers, or those willing to stop smoking around the time of treatment, may also be more suitable, as smoking can interfere with healing. It is important to have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve. These factors are assessed during a consultation with Dr Attalla.

Recovery information
Recovery time
Recovery after liposuction can vary between patients. Some may return to light daily activities within a few days, depending on how their body responds to the procedure. Strenuous activities, such as exercise, are usually delayed until recovery has progressed further.
Swelling and bruising in the treated areas may last for several weeks. Wearing compression garments, if recommended, may provide comfort and assist with the healing process during this time.
Patients are encouraged to follow all post-treatment instructions and attend any follow-up appointments. This helps ensure recovery is monitored properly and allows for any concerns to be addressed along the way.
Potential risks & complications
Liposuction for men carries certain risks and potential complications. These include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Bruising and swelling
- Fluid accumulation (seromas)
- Numbness
- Irregular contours
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism)
- Adverse reactions to anaesthesia
- Skin irregularities
- Fat embolism
- Organ damage
