Liposuction for Men | Dr. Christoph Jethon

Liposuction: Targeted Removal of Fat Deposits for Contour Improvement

With just a minimal procedure, liposuction often achieves noticeable results: Unwanted fat accumulations that affect the body's aesthetics are specifically addressed. Dr. Christoph Jethon uses this method to eliminate both small and extensive fat deposits, thereby harmoniously shaping body contours. Especially in male patients, where fat accumulations in the chest area can influence the aesthetic appearance, liposuction offers a suitable solution for a more defined look.

Thanks to the precise technique, no large incisions are necessary – a small puncture is sufficient to remove the fat deposits with a fine cannula and reshape the body areas, resulting in a harmonious outcome.

Additional possible positive effects of the treatment include:

An almost invisible puncture site after healing.
A possible reduction of cellulite.
The possibility of performing the procedure at almost any age, with good results achievable with sufficient skin elasticity.
The option of additional skin tightening in case of reduced skin elasticity.
While liposuction is not primarily intended for weight loss, the removed fat cells are permanently eliminated. Maintaining a stable weight after the procedure is important for preserving the results.

Where can liposuction be performed on the body?

Dr. Christoph Jethon applies liposuction not only to well-known areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. Smaller fat accumulations that can cause dissatisfaction in other body areas can also be treated. An advantage is that once removed, fat tissue does not return, which can enable a long-term improvement in body aesthetics. Maintaining a stable weight after the procedure is important for preserving the results. Dr. Jethon offers targeted liposuction for various body areas, including:

Cheek area ("Buccal Fat Removal")
Chin area for double chin
Neck area ("Turkey neck")
Chest area in men (for treatment of gynecomastia)
Abdomen ("Love handles")
Waist ("Muffin top")
Hip area ("Love Handles", "Hip fat")
Back ("Back fat")
Thighs ("Saddlebags")
Knees
Calves
Ankle area

Such procedures can often be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return to their usual environment immediately afterward.

What are the benefits of liposuction for men?

The decision for liposuction is a step for many men to improve their physical appearance. Many men also report a positive impact on their well-being. 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, offering a customized solution for stubborn problem areas that can be tailored specifically to the anatomical and aesthetic needs of the male body.

Targeted body shaping: Men tend to store fat in certain areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and chest – areas that are often difficult to shape with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction enables targeted treatment of these problem zones to create a more defined body silhouette.
Improved muscle definition: By removing excess fat tissue, the underlying muscles can be better highlighted. This can be especially beneficial for men who invest a lot of time and effort in their training but still do not achieve the desired muscle definition.
Long-lasting results: The fat cells removed by liposuction are permanently eliminated. With stable weight and lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting, leading to a permanent improvement in body image.
Impact on well-being: A changed external appearance can positively affect personal well-being. Many men report increased satisfaction after the procedure.
Minimal scarring: Modern liposuction techniques require only small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring. These discreet scars are often barely visible and do not impair the aesthetic outcome.
Quick recovery: Compared to other cosmetic procedures, liposuction offers a relatively quick recovery time, allowing men to return quickly to their daily routine and sports activities.
Adaptation to individual needs: Liposuction is highly customizable. This means the procedure can be specifically tailored to the individual needs and goals of each man to achieve natural and harmonious results.

For men aiming for a defined figure and wanting to improve specific body areas, liposuction offers a proven method. In the experienced hands of a qualified surgeon like Dr. Christoph Jethon, this procedure can bring about significant improvements. However, it is important to understand that results vary individually and depend on personal factors.

How does liposuction for men proceed?

What can you expect in the consultation?

Your path to liposuction begins with a personal consultation. In this context, Dr. Jethon discusses your aesthetic goals with you and evaluates the areas to be treated. This is the moment when you can ask all your questions and clarify your expectations. Based on this conversation, your doctor develops an individual treatment plan tailored to your needs and the desired outcome.

How do you prepare for the procedure and how is it performed?

Before the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions for preparation, which may include adjusting your diet and medication intake. On the day of liposuction, the target areas are marked before the procedure begins under local or general anesthesia. Through small incisions, the surgeon inserts a thin cannula to suction the fat tissue and reshape the body contours.

What happens after the operation: Healing and aftercare

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 of the puncture sites and structuring your recovery time, are provided to support good healing. Regular follow-up examinations serve to monitor your progress and the healing process.

Is liposuction suitable for you?

Liposuction is an effective method for improving body contours, but it is not the right solution for everyone. Suitability is based on a number of factors that must be carefully evaluated to ensure that liposuction can deliver realistic results.

Health status: Suitable candidates for liposuction are generally healthy, without conditions that could significantly impair the healing process. A stable health condition is important for good recovery after the procedure.
Realistic expectations: It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of liposuction. The procedure can shape and improve specific body areas but is not a substitute for general weight loss or treatment of obesity.
Skin elasticity: Good skin elasticity helps the skin retract smoothly after fat removal. In candidates with significantly reduced skin elasticity, additional tightening may be considered to achieve good results.
Goal setting: Men who want to improve specific areas of their body where diet and exercise have not produced the desired results are often suitable candidates. Liposuction is suitable for stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen, flanks, back, and other areas.
Lifestyle: Suitable candidates should be willing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Although liposuction can provide long-lasting results, especially when a stable weight is maintained, a balanced diet and regular physical activity help support the results in the long term.

What is the tumescent technique?

The tumescent technique is an established liposuction method known for its safety and effectiveness. In this method, a larger amount 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 loosening of the fat cells, minimizes blood loss, and can reduce pain and swelling during and after the operation.

Dr. Jethon relies on the tumescent technique because of its advantages:

High safety: The method can reduce the risk of bleeding and infections.
Effective fat removal: The injected solution facilitates targeted removal of fat cells and allows precise body contouring.
Reduced pain and swelling: The local anesthesia can provide more comfort during and after the procedure, making it easier to return to daily life.
Minimal downtime: Patients can usually resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

What complementary treatments are available?

Skin tightening: Especially for men who have lost significant amounts of weight, skin tightening in addition to liposuction can be useful to remove excess skin and further define body contours. This can contribute to a more harmonious overall appearance.
Body contouring: Dr. Jethon offers individually tailored solutions that can go beyond pure liposuction. By using modern techniques, contouring of specific areas such as the chest (for treatment of gynecomastia), abdomen, or hips can be improved to achieve a defined profile.
Holistic approaches: In addition to surgical methods, Dr. Jethon emphasizes advice on nutrition and lifestyle to support the achieved results. A healthy lifestyle contributes to the long-term effect of liposuction and promotes overall well-being.
Aftercare and recovery: An aftercare program supports good healing and satisfaction with the results. Dr. Jethon and his team accompany you through the healing process, provide support, and ensure you are satisfied with the outcome.

What anesthesia is used and what are the risks?

In liposuction, especially when using tumescent local anesthesia (TLA), Dr. Christoph Jethon places great emphasis on the safety and well-being of his patients. Tumescent local anesthesia has proven effective in liposuction by not only locally anesthetizing the treated body area but also preparing the fat cells for suction. Dr. Jethon injects a diluted anesthetic solution into the tissue, which can offer several advantages:

The patient remains awake: You can stay awake during the procedure, which can increase safety and allow you to adjust your position if needed.
Ability to move: The ability to tense muscles and stand up enables Dr. Jethon to control and optimize the symmetry of the treated body parts as well as the overall body silhouette during the procedure.
Reduced bleeding risk: The tumescent method can minimize the risk of bleeding and hematoma formation, contributing to a safer procedure and good healing.

How do you prepare for liposuction?

What happens in the preliminary discussion?

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation in which Dr. Jethon discusses your wishes and ideas in detail. This conversation is crucial to create an individual treatment plan precisely tailored to your needs. You will learn everything about the advantages of the tumescent method that Dr. Jethon uses and receive a clear idea of the expected costs.

How to prepare for liposuction

Body weight and nutrition: It is advisable to be close to your desired weight on the day of liposuction. A healthy diet and possibly targeted weight reduction before the procedure can support the results and help maintain them long-term.
Medication intake: Stop all medications that could affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, about two weeks before the operation. 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 marks the areas to be treated on your skin and prepares you for liposuction by injecting a tumescent solution that anesthetizes 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 usually performed on an outpatient basis. For more extensive treatments, a short stay at our PraxisClinic may be necessary.

Checklist for preparation

Aim for a balanced diet and try to reach your desired weight before the procedure.
Stop blood-thinning medications in time 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.

What should be considered during aftercare?

Immediately after your liposuction procedure, you will receive specially made compression garments. These are important for your healing process and should be worn for a period ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the treatment. The compression garments promote even healing of the skin and underlying tissue and are thus an important part of your recovery after liposuction. Usually, 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 negatively affect the healing process. This also applies to visits to solariums or saunas.

These guidelines are important for good recovery and achieving good results after your liposuction. Individual results may vary.

What costs can be expected?

The financial investment for liposuction varies as it depends on several factors such as the extent of the treatment, the duration of the procedure, and any stays at our PraxisClinic. As a rough guide, prices for liposuction at PraxisClinic Jadore start at around €2,000.
