At ERA Aesthetics, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kimberly Jones understands that men often struggle with stubborn fat in specific areas, even with a disciplined diet and exercise. Liposuction for men effectively sculpts areas of the body that resist traditional fitness efforts, while maintaining a natural, masculine contour.
Dr. Jones approaches every case thoughtfully, combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of how body contouring affects both appearance and confidence.
What Is Liposuction for Men?
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring technique that removes localized fat to improve shape, proportion, and definition. Male bodies store and distribute fat differently than female bodies. For many men, fat tends to collect in areas such as the lower abdomen, flanks, chest, and neck.
Dr. Jones customizes liposuction plans to respect these differences, enhancing masculine lines and promoting smooth, proportionate contours. Whether you’re looking to refine your midsection, define your jawline, or balance stubborn areas of fat, Dr. Jones tailors treatment to your goals.
Advanced Technique: MicroAire® Liposuction
Dr. Jones uses the MicroAire power-assisted liposuction (PAL) system, an advanced technique that allows for precise fat removal with reduced tissue trauma.
Benefits of this approach include:
- Gentler treatment compared to traditional manual liposuction
- Less bleeding and bruising
- Reduced swelling and discomfort
- Enhanced precision for smoother, natural contours
This modern technology helps support a more comfortable recovery and refined outcome.
Awake Liposuction Option
Many of Dr. Jones’ patients elect awake liposuction, which uses local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. This technique offers important safety benefits and allows for real-time feedback during the procedure, often resulting in a faster recovery and improved comfort.
Dr. Jones is one of the most experienced providers of awake liposuction in the Research Triangle area, having performed more than 2,000 procedures.
Common Liposuction Treatment Areas for Men
Whether focusing on one area or multiple sites, Dr. Jones designs your contouring plan to enhance your proportions from every angle.
- Abdomen and waistline
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Chest (including gynecomastia-associated fat)
- Neck and jawline
Combining Liposuction
With Other Procedures
Liposuction can be performed alone or in combination with another procedure that will further enhance your body contouring results. Depending on your anatomy and goals, options may include:
- Tummy tuck: A male tummy tuck, or male abdominoplasty, is traditionally performed on men who have lost a significant amount of weight. Tummy tuck surgery trims excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles, creating sculpted, toned, and masculine contours.
- Gynecomastia surgery: Gynecomastia is a condition defined by the presence of excess tissue and fat that leads to enlarged male breasts. Liposuction alone or combined with surgical excision reduces excess fat in and around the breast area.
- Arm lift (brachioplasty): In men with significant upper-arm skin laxity—often after weight loss—an arm lift removes excess skin to create a firmer, more streamlined contour.

Male Liposuction FAQs
Is liposuction painful?
Most liposuction patients report soreness rather than pain and manage discomfort during the first few days of recovery with prescription pain medication. The power-assisted liposuction technique Dr. Jones uses is gentler than manual liposuction procedures.
How much weight can I lose with liposuction?
Most liposuction procedures remove only a few pounds of fat. The procedure removes localized fat for contouring, but it is not a weight loss procedure.
How long do results last?
Liposuction results can last for many years if you maintain a stable weight and lead a healthy lifestyle. Fat cells removed during liposuction don’t return, but remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain.
Can liposuction address gynecomastia?
Yes, liposuction can help reduce excess fatty tissue in the chest, but firm glandular tissue may also require excision for the best result.
Will I have visible scars?
Liposuction involves small incisions, so some scarring is expected. However, Dr. Jones places incisions discreetly, and most scars fade significantly over time, becoming barely noticeable.
