Male Liposuction:
- Approximately 30% of our patients are men.
- The introduction of ultrasound liposuction in this patient group has increased the effectiveness of the procedure.
- This is because the areas that are usually treated in men have dense fat compared to women. In the past, this has been difficult to treat.
