Liposuction for Men

Even with an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, some areas of stubborn fat won’t go away. Whether it’s a double chin, love handles, or excess fat around the abdomen, certain pockets of fat resist even the most disciplined workout routines. Liposuction is a highly effective solution for men looking to refine their physique, enhance definition, and achieve a firmer, more sculpted appearance.

Liposuction techniques for men differ from those for women due to variations in fat distribution, skin thickness, and desired results. While women commonly seek contouring in the hips, thighs, and lower abdomen, men typically target the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest, and neck. The goal is not just fat reduction but the enhancement of masculine definition, creating a toned, athletic, and natural-looking result.

Dr. Godwin understands that men want to look fit and sculpted—without it obvious they had a procedure. His refined liposuction techniques ensure that results are noticeable but never unnatural, meaning no one will know you had liposuction, but everyone will notice how great you look.

With his expertise in body contouring for men, Dr. Godwin removes excess fat strategically and precisely, highlighting natural muscle definition and ensuring a smooth, masculine shape.

Liposuction can be the missing piece for men seeking a chiseled, toned, and more defined physique—helping you achieve the results that diet and exercise alone couldn’t.

SmartLipo® in Philadelphia

In addition to traditional liposuction, Dr. Godwin offers SmartLipo®, an advanced laser-assisted lipolysis procedure designed to remove fat while promoting skin tightening and reduced bruising.

While both SmartLipo® and traditional liposuction effectively eliminate stubborn fat, SmartLipo® uses laser technology to enhance tissue contraction, providing smoother, more contoured results. This procedure is ideal for targeting problem areas such as the abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and neck, permanently reducing fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

What makes SmartLipo® unique is its ability to refine the chin, neck, and lower face, offering a more sculpted, youthful appearance in these delicate areas.

Procedures:

Liposuction involves using a thin tube, called a cannula, to gently suction out fat from targeted areas. Dr. Godwin begins by injecting a tumescent solution to numb the area and minimize blood loss, allowing for precise fat removal. Small incisions are made for the cannula to be inserted.

The incisions from the cannula typically heal quickly and become barely noticeable with minimal scarring. Because the incisions are small, they usually heal without stitches.

After removing the fat, a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling. It's not simply about removing fat—an experienced surgeon like Dr. Godwin understands how much fat to remove and where to sculpt, ensuring the results are smooth, balanced, and in harmony with your body’s natural contours.

Recovery:

Each patient’s procedure is unique, targeting different areas of concern, so each patient’s recovery will vary. Because men have denser fat and tissue, they typically have more swelling and bruising than women. In all cases, you will receive detailed instructions and guidance for a healthy recovery.

Note: Liposuction does not address loose skin, cellulite, or obesity. Realistic outcomes will be discussed during your thorough consultation and exam with Dr. Godwin.

SmartLipo®: A Minimally Invasive, In-Office Procedure

SmartLipo® is performed right in our office’s private procedure room, eliminating the need for a Surgery Center or hospital setting. Our facility includes a comfortable pre-procedure area, post-op recovery space, and a private consultation room to ensure a seamless and discreet experience.

As a minimally invasive procedure, SmartLipo® requires only tiny incisions and local anesthesia. During the treatment, a thin laser fiber is inserted through a small tube, where the laser ruptures fat cell membranes, permanently destroying fat cells.

Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo® also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin, reducing sagging and enhancing overall contour through laser-assisted coagulation.
