The number of men receiving cosmetic enhancement procedures is steadily increasing as more men choose to achieve more sharply sculpted masculine features through plastic surgery. A strong, defined chest was the goal for this 48-year-old man who consulted with a surgeon at Marina Plastic Surgery to find out how he could remove the fat and excess breast tissue over his pectoral muscles. Based on his extensive experience with Los Angeles liposuction procedures, her surgeon suggested a combination of tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction.

A tumescent approach combined with ultrasonic liposuction can be highly effective for areas where the fat is positioned within or near fibrous tissue. Tumescent liposuction requires the surgeon to inject a fluid into the fatty areas, making it easier to break down and remove fat cells. However, this approach alone is not as effective for fibrous tissue areas like the chest and inner thighs. Ultrasonic liposuction transmits ultrasonic energy through the fibrous tissue to the fat to break down the fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues, as older techniques would have. By combining these techniques, this patient’s chest size was reduced from 46″ to 42′.

This man’s post-operative photo clearly shows that his tumescent liposuction procedure in Los Angeles has reduced his excess tissues and given him a firmer-looking chest. Combined liposuction techniques have given the man’s whole upper torso a more fit, attractive look, and the patient is extremely pleased with the results.
