I’ve noticed that since I’ve turned 40, I’ve gained a few pounds around my stomach over the past few years. I work out regularly and eat well, but I have not been able to stop from developing love handles and fat around my stomach. I am interested in surgery or liposuction to get rid of this extra fat, but I have a demanding job and am afraid I would not be able to take time off of work to recover from surgery. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this extra fat that is quick and easy?
One of the greatest challenges to maintaining a youthful figure as you age is balancing a busy schedule and still finding time to work out, eat healthily, and get enough rest. Even for those who do manage to hit the gym and skip the fries, it is impossible to stop the inevitable process of aging. For men, part of this process is developing excess fat deposits around the body, especially in the stomach and flank area, creating “love handles” and a protruding, soft stomach. The best way to get rid of excess fat if you already lead a healthy lifestyle is liposuction, a procedure that targets and removes excess fat in areas where it has collected and settled. The science behind liposuction has advanced over time, and now it is a quick and easy procedure. This is the best option to remove fat from the stomach area, and the fast procedure and recovery will fit perfectly into your busy schedule.
Liposuction has been getting a lot of attention lately for its positive effects on the lives of working men all over the country. In the competitive job market, men feel great amounts of pressure to appear healthy and young in order to protect themselves from younger competition. Men who have abdominal liposuction look trimmer in a suit, and neck liposuction gets rid of double chins that make men look older and heavy. It can also improve a man’s self-confidence both at work and at home.
At The Kole Plastic Surgery Center, liposuction is done using a variety of methods including manual back and forth manipulation, lasers, ultrasonic energy, or vibration. In general, the procedure lasts about an hour and patients are discharged the same day. The time required for the procedure depends on the extensiveness of individual cases, but recovery time is quick and most individuals are able to return to work within a few days. For those patients who are concerned about cutting into work time, we suggest they make appointments towards the end of the week, recover over the weekend, and they can be back at work on Monday. Dr. Kole instructs patients to wear a compression garment for two weeks, which is easily hidden under a suit or dress shirt. Within two weeks, patients can resume all normal activities such as sports and exercise.
