Lateral Chest Liposuction for Men & Women Upper Back Reduction

Losing weight or gaining more weight can have a significant impact on several body areas. The sides of the lateral chest and upper back are among the most often affected locations.

Excess skin and fat rolls that extend to the upper back and begin beneath the armpit are what define this problem. The goal of the lateral chest wall reduction procedures is to remove excess skin to enhance contouring and allows for more clothing options.

Males and females both have breasts, despite what you may think. They even seem to have milk ducts. But unlike women, most men's breast tissue does not grow in the same manner.

Their increased testosterone levels throughout puberty prevent this type of development. For males, liposuction is an excellent method of reducing extra fat in the chest region as well as the belly. For many women, particularly those who have breasts that are bigger than what they find comfortable, breast size can be a huge problem.

Some women could have physical discomfort, including neck and back pain, while others might have trouble finding clothes that fit them well. Many women with bigger breasts may also have feelings of self-consciousness and dissatisfaction with their appearance. All of these issues can also be solved with liposuction.

Lateral Chest Liposuction for Women

Reduction mammoplasty, sometimes referred to as “breast reduction surgery”, is a popular choice for women who wish to have smaller chests. Traditional breast reduction surgery, however, carries several serious risks and problems, including bleeding and noticeable scars.

Candidates for breast surgery frequently have lateral chest wall abnormalities, which might impact the result. In terms of aesthetics, this region should be considered distinct from the breast according to a study.

Because liposuction is safe and successful, it has become the most popular body sculpting procedure in cosmetic surgery during the past 20 years. Despite this, a lot of cosmetic surgeons have been reluctant to accept liposuction breast reduction as a legitimate course of therapy for female mammary augmentation.

This is due to their belief that having liposuction might make breast ptosis or drooping more likely. Recent research, however, indicates that liposuction breast reduction can reduce breast size just as well as standard breast reduction surgery without resulting in ptosis or breast drooping.

Most clinics use the water displacement method to estimate the volume of each breast and may use ink to draw lines on your breasts. Next, they inject a tiny dose of local anesthetic into the skin using small needles.

They also use microcannulas to do breast liposuction. The diameter of these cannulas varies from 0.9 mm to 1.8 mm. After liposuction, the drained tumescent fluid is absorbed by super-absorbent pads placed on the breasts.

Lateral Chest Liposuction for Men

Gynecomastia, sometimes referred to as "man-boobs," is a common problem that affects males and teenage boys when there is an excessively high amount of breast tissue. The problem is not a significant issue and is frequently linked to extra skin and subcutaneous fat.

Even if a weight loss program has been successful for the rest of the body, breast fat can be particularly difficult to lose, and the resulting "man boobs" can be embarrassing in most men. The good news is that, depending on your needs and the desired outcomes, there are safe and efficient liposuction methods to approach this issue.

Male patients make up over 35% of liposuction patients according to many clinics, and the chest is one of their most prominent issue regions. For the removal of breast and adipose tissue, they frequently combine VASER technology with power-assisted liposuction.

Nonetheless, depending on each patient's demands, several therapy modalities may be used. Usually, a little incision is made during liposuction to reduce noticeable scars.

Once the region has been sufficiently numbed, the treatment can start while the patient may stay awake the entire time. The fat above the chest muscle will be reached by using the tiny liposuction cannula. Surgeons try to reshape the chest and impose new contours while maintaining natural proportions.

The Torsoplasty Procedure

Several functional and cosmetic abnormalities in the lateral chest wall region could result from obesity-related overstretching of the skin surrounding the torso. Torsoplasty is a surgical procedure that treats gynecomastia and the rest of the torso in just one-time procedure.

Post-bariatric patients often have drooping skin with sporadic stretch marks and folds that are prone to persistent irritation, among other irregularities.

Apart from the droopy skin, there could be damage to the deep connective tissues and a relaxed muscular tone. Furthermore, fat accumulation might continue. Naturally, aging causes a steady decrease of skin elasticity in this area, whether or not weight reduction is involved.

Improving the lateral breast shape requires correcting these abnormalities because, in both men and women, the lateral mammary area loses definition, particularly following significant weight reduction.

The torsoplasty procedure is commonly made up of liposuction and excision of the excess, loosened skin. The removal of fat deposits and the reshaping of fat tissue in surrounding regions are made possible via liposuction.

However, surgeons should prevent bleeding during surgery and preserve blood and lymphatic veins, both of which would be harmed by a full-thickness excision.

A triangle-shaped section of skin is excised from the lateral chest wall during the procedure. This leaves a "J"-shaped scar that, in men, follows along the contour of the lateral pectoralis muscle and, in women, runs from the underarm down.

Scars are less noticeable since they are located at the bottom of natural grooves. The underlying connective fascia is tightened and anchored to the ribs with a deep, powerful stitch before a cautious application of a skin suture.

This will prevent postoperative scar descent from falling because of gravity, resulting in a more stable end product both aesthetically and functionally. Only dissolvable, deep sutures are utilized.
