Male Body Contouring Houston, TX

Body image isn't only a female issue.

In fact, in 2019 the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' annual statistics reported over 1.6 million men sought a variety of cosmetic procedures, including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), liposuction, among other treatments. As men age or go through excessive weight loss, the chest and abdomen accumulate fat that diet and exercise are unable to affect. A common condition in men is gynecomastia, which causes enlargement of the male breast tissue and can be treated via gynecomastia surgery.

Liposuction: Most men have good skin elasticity, and a liposuction treatment is a viable option to have in the contouring process. Liposuction removes excess fat from the body to achieve a smoother, natural look.
