Traditional methods of liposuction require quite a bit of trauma to break fat cells from their position underneath the skin. The violence puts other parts of the body around the treated area at risk of being damage particularly the blood vessels. In severe cases, there can be internal damage to the organs depending on where the surgery is being performed. The introduction of laser liposuction greatly reduces the risk of injury to surrounding tissues and significantly reduces the amount of bleeding caused by damaged blood vessels. When small blood vessels are damaged during laser surgery, the heat of the laser will usually cause trace amounts of blood to dry up before it can cause additional problems. For this reason it is often referred to as smart liposuction and it becoming an increasingly popular plastic surgery procedure.

One – men are getting cosmetic surgery treatments more and more each year. This is especially prominent in Asian countries.

Two – men pay more for the same liposuction treatments than women!

The first one is not such a surprise, but the second – men paying more for the same procedure! What’s going on here? Are men getting ripped off?

Actually, the truth is there are legitimate reasons why liposuction treatments on a male body cost more than on a female body. Men’s bodies tend to have more fibrous fat. This means it’s harder for the surgeon to break it up via the cannula (or another device, depending on the liposuction technique being implemented). This extra work translates into more expertise and overall, more time spent by the doctor.

It is obvious to see then that this leads to an increase in the rates for male liposuction prices for men over women.
