Effective Removal of Fat Deposits for Lasting Contour Improvement
With just a minimal intervention, liposuction achieves significant results: Unwanted fat accumulations that impair the aesthetics of the body are targeted. Dr. Christoph Jethon uses this method to eliminate both small and large fat deposits, thereby harmoniously shaping body contours. Particularly in male patients, where fat accumulations in the chest area can disrupt the aesthetic appearance, liposuction offers an effective solution for a slimmer and more attractive look.
Thanks to the precise technique, no visible cuts are necessary – a small incision is sufficient to remove the fat deposits with a fine cannula and reshape the body parts, resulting in a well-proportioned and appealing outcome.
Additional positive effects of the treatment include:
- An almost invisible incision site after healing.
- A significant reduction in cellulite.
- The possibility of performing the procedure at almost any age, with optimal results achieved with sufficient skin elasticity.
- The option of additional skin tightening in cases of reduced skin elasticity.
- While liposuction is not primarily intended for weight loss, the removed fat cells are permanently eliminated.
Full Body Liposuction for Comprehensive Enhancement
Dr. Christoph Jethon applies liposuction not only to the well-known problem areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. Smaller fat accumulations that lead to dissatisfaction in other body areas can also be effectively treated. A key advantage is that once fat tissue is removed, it does not return, allowing for a lasting improvement in body aesthetics. Dr. Jethon offers targeted liposuction for the entire body, including:
- Cheek area ("Buccal Fat Removal")
- Chin area for double chin
- Neck area ("Turkey Neck")
- Chest area for men (to treat gynecomastia)
- Abdomen ("Love Handles")
- Waist ("Prince Roll")
- Hip area ("Love Handles", "Hip Gold")
- Back ("Back Fat")
- Thighs ("Rider Pants")
- Knees
- Calves
- Ankle area
Such procedures can often be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return to their usual environment immediately afterward.
Benefits of Liposuction for Male Body Contours
The decision to undergo liposuction is a significant step for many men in improving their physical appearance and self-confidence. While fitness and a healthy diet are fundamental elements for a well-shaped body, there are specific challenges that men often cannot overcome with traditional methods alone. This is where liposuction comes in, providing a tailored solution for stubborn problem areas specifically designed to meet the anatomical and aesthetic needs of the male body.
- Targeted Body Shaping: Men tend to store fat in specific areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and chest – areas that are often difficult to shape with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction allows for targeted treatment of these problem zones to create a more masculine and firmer body silhouette.
- Improvement of Muscle Definition: By removing excess fat tissue, underlying muscles can be better highlighted. This is particularly beneficial for men who invest a lot of time and effort in their training but still cannot achieve the desired muscle definition.
- Long-lasting Results: The fat cells removed through liposuction are permanently eliminated. As long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained, the results can be long-lasting, leading to a permanent improvement in body image.
- Boost in Self-Confidence: An improved outward appearance can significantly enhance self-confidence and overall well-being. Many men report a new zest for life and increased self-assurance in personal and professional situations.
- Minimal Scarring: Modern liposuction techniques require only small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring. These discreet scars are often barely visible and do not compromise the aesthetic outcome.
- Quick Recovery: Compared to other cosmetic procedures, liposuction offers a relatively quick recovery time, allowing men to return to their daily routines and physical activities swiftly.
- Customization to Individual Needs: Liposuction is highly customizable. This means that the procedure can be specifically tailored to the individual needs and goals of each man to achieve natural and harmonious results.
For men seeking a defined, athletic figure and wishing to improve specific body areas, liposuction offers an effective and safe solution. Under the experienced hands of a qualified surgeon like Dr. Christoph Jethon, this procedure can bring about significant improvements that go far beyond the possibilities of diet and exercise.

The Process of Liposuction for Men
Personal Consultation and Customized Treatment Plans
Your journey to liposuction begins with a personal consultation. During this meeting, Dr. Jethon will discuss your aesthetic goals and assess the areas to be treated. This is the moment to ask all your questions and clarify your expectations. Based on this discussion, your doctor will develop an individual treatment plan that is precisely aligned with your needs and the desired end state.
Preparation and Execution of Liposuction
Before the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions for preparation, which may include adjustments to your diet and medication intake. On the day of the liposuction, the target areas will be marked before the procedure begins under local or general anesthesia. Through small incisions, the surgeon will insert a thin cannula to suction out the fat tissue and reshape the body contours.
Healing Process and Aftercare: Optimizing Results
After the operation, the healing phase begins. You will receive special compression garments that help reduce swelling and support the new body contours. Direct aftercare instructions, including care for the incision sites and managing your recovery time, will be provided to ensure optimal healing. Regular follow-up appointments will monitor your progress and ensure the best possible results.
Who is Liposuction Suitable For
Liposuction is a highly effective method for improving body contours, but it is not the right solution for everyone. Ideal candidacy is based on a range of factors that must be carefully evaluated to ensure that liposuction delivers the desired results.
- Health Status: Ideal candidates for liposuction are generally healthy, without conditions that could impair the healing process. A stable health status is crucial for a successful recovery after the procedure.
- Realistic Expectations: It is important to have realistic expectations regarding the results of liposuction. The procedure can shape and improve specific body areas but is not a substitute for weight loss or a cure-all for obesity.
- Skin Elasticity: Good skin elasticity helps the skin retract smoothly after the removal of fat tissue. Candidates with poor skin elasticity may require additional tightening to achieve optimal results.
- Goal Setting: Men who wish to improve specific areas of their bodies where diet and exercise have not yielded the desired results are often ideal candidates. Liposuction is particularly suitable for stubborn fat accumulations in the abdomen, flanks, back, and other areas.
- Lifestyle: Ideal candidates are willing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Although liposuction can provide lasting results, a balanced diet and regular physical activity help sustain the results in the long term.
Suitability for liposuction will be comprehensively assessed in a personal consultation. Here, your surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and conduct a physical examination. This process not only helps identify the best options for your individual needs but also ensures that you are fully informed about the procedure, the expected results, and the healing process.
Tumescent Technique: The Method of Choice
The tumescent technique is a proven method of liposuction known for its safety and effectiveness. In this method, a large volume of a special solution is injected into the fat tissue to be treated. This solution consists of a local anesthetic, a vasoconstrictor, and a physiological saline solution. The fluid facilitates the breakdown of fat cells, minimizes blood loss, and reduces pain and swelling during and after the operation.
Dr. Jethon relies on the tumescent technique due to its numerous advantages:
- Maximum Safety: The method minimizes the risk of bleeding and infections.
- Effective Fat Removal: The injected solution facilitates the targeted removal of fat cells and allows for precise body contouring.
- Reduced Pain and Swelling: Local anesthesia ensures comfort during and after the procedure, enabling a quicker return to daily life.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Complementary Treatments and Holistic Approaches
- Skin Tightening: Especially for men who have lost significant amounts of weight, skin tightening may be necessary in addition to liposuction to remove excess skin and further define body contours. This creates a more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
- Body Contouring: Dr. Jethon offers customized solutions that go beyond mere fat removal. By employing state-of-the-art techniques, the contouring of specific areas such as the chest (to treat gynecomastia), abdomen, or hips can be optimized to achieve a more masculine profile.
- Holistic Approaches: In addition to surgical methods, Dr. Jethon places great importance on advice regarding nutrition and lifestyle to support and maintain the results achieved. A healthy lifestyle significantly contributes to the long-term effects of liposuction and promotes overall well-being.
- Aftercare and Recovery: A comprehensive aftercare program not only ensures optimal healing but also satisfaction with the results. Dr. Jethon and his team will guide you through the entire healing process, providing support and ensuring that you are completely satisfied with the outcome.
Anesthesia and Possible Risks of Liposuction
In liposuction, especially using tumescent local anesthesia (TLA), Dr. Christoph Jethon places the utmost importance on the safety and well-being of his patients. Tumescent local anesthesia has proven revolutionary for liposuction, as it not only locally numbs the treated body area but also prepares the fat cells for suctioning. Dr. Jethon injects a highly diluted anesthetic solution into the tissue, which offers several advantages:
- The Patient Remains Awake: You can stay awake during the procedure, which increases safety and allows you to make adjustments to your position if necessary.
- Mobility: The ability to tense muscles and stand up enables Dr. Jethon to control and perfect the symmetry of the treated body areas as well as the overall body silhouette at any time.
- Reduced Risk of Bleeding: The tumescent technique minimizes the risk of bleeding and the formation of hematomas, leading to a safer procedure and faster healing.
Smaller procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, while larger body areas are treated under twilight sleep (2 - 4 hours), and a 1-day stay in our PraxisClinic is recommended.
Preparation for Liposuction: A Guide
Personal Pre-Consultation with Dr. Christoph Jethon
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation in which Dr. Jethon discusses your wishes and ideas in detail. This conversation is crucial for creating an individual treatment plan that is precisely tailored to your needs. You will learn all about the benefits of the tumescent technique that Dr. Jethon employs and gain a clear understanding of the expected costs.
How to Prepare for Liposuction
- Body Weight and Diet: Ideally, you should be close to your desired weight on the day of liposuction. A healthy diet and possibly targeted weight loss before the procedure can improve results and help maintain them long-term.
- Medication Intake: Discontinue any medications that may affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, about two weeks before the surgery. Inform Dr. Jethon about all prescription medications you are taking.
- Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption: Reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption at least two weeks before the procedure, as these can impair the healing process.
On the Day of the Operation
Dr. Jethon will mark the areas to be treated on your skin and prepare you for liposuction by injecting a tumescent solution that numbs the skin and prepares the fat for removal. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the extent of the treatment, but smaller procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis. For more extensive treatments, a short stay in our PraxisClinic may be necessary.
Preparation Checklist
- Prefer a balanced diet and reach your desired weight before the procedure.
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications in a timely manner and inform Dr. Jethon about your medication.
- Reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption to support the healing process.
- Plan accordingly for the day of the operation and the recovery period.
Aftercare Following Liposuction
Immediately after your liposuction procedure, you will receive specially tailored compression garments. These are essential for your healing process and should be worn for a period of several days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the treatment. The compression clothing promotes efficient and even healing of the skin and underlying tissue and is thus an integral part of your recovery after liposuction. After about a week, you should be able to participate in social life again. However, it is advisable to avoid sports activities or other physical exertion for the next six weeks to not impair the healing process. This also applies to visits to tanning beds or saunas.
In the first few days after the operation, you may experience pain similar to muscle soreness. However, these discomforts usually subside quickly and can be effectively treated with painkillers that Dr. Christoph Jethon will prescribe. Should bruising occur, these typically resolve within a few days as well.
Important Points for Your Aftercare:
- Consistent wearing of compression garments
- Avoid sports and physically demanding activities as well as sauna and tanning bed visits for six weeks
- Expect a quick social reintegration, typically within a week
These guidelines are crucial for a smooth recovery and achieving optimal results after your liposuction.
