Cool Lipo Helps Men Achieve 6-Pack Abs

Achieving the much-coveted six-packs can be the result of hard work at the gym and a healthy diet, but some men and women choose a shortcut method to achieving a tight and toned midsection with the help of liposuction. There was a time when a tummy tuck was the only plastic surgery option for achieving a six-pack, but now some doctors are using innovative liposuction techniques and new tools to get rid of body fat and contour the waistline.

According to Allan Parungao, MD, FACS, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago, Cool Lipo goes a step beyond traditional liposuction because the laser technologies help to tighten and tone the skin while melting body fat. Dr. Parungao  uses the Cool Lipo procedure to carve out the perfect six-pack for his male patients, and patients have been having enjoying incredible results from the treatment.

Liposuction continues to be one of the most sought-after procedures in cosmetic surgery, and can be a valuable procedure for those who want to lose a few extra pounds around their waist, hips, thighs or under their arms. Today’s innovative procedures such as Cool Lipo give the surgeon more control over where the fat is removed from, which helps the surgeon create a sculpted, contoured and more aesthetically-pleasing outcome.

Cool Lipo naturally has a skin-tightening effect because the energy from the laser causes the surrounding tissues to contract. This can help bring out the six-pack naturally, and leave the midsection looking very tight, toned and even more muscular. Dr. Parungao says that he uses Cool Lipo to perform a procedure known as ‘abdominal etching’ which helps to narrow the space between the muscles and melt away fat in any depressed areas. The result is a clearly visible six-pack, and tightening of the skin continues as the body produces more collagen to restore and heal the treated tissues.

Anti-Aging Procedures for Men Include Facelifts and Chin Implants

While women continue to be the leading consumers of plastic and cosmetic surgery services, accounting for over 91 percent of total cosmetic procedures in 2007 alone, the male population is still enjoying several benefits of skin rejuvenation treatments and fat reducing procedures.  Recent statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgery report the number of men getting plastic surgery from 2002 to 2007 has increased by 16%.

Men interested in turning back the clock permanently are turning to facelifts, nose reshaping, cheek and chin implants, and even non-surgical facial rejuvenation options such as BOTOX injections and Restylane dermal fillers says Orange County Plastic Surgeon Nirav Savalia, M.D.

Facelifts can help reduce wrinkles and give the skin a tighter, more taut apperance while nose reshaping procedures can help balance out the face to create a more youthful look.  Chin and cheek implants can help give the face a more contoured and chiseled appearance – the hallmarks of youth – and can complement other skin and facial rejuvenation treatments.

Dr. Joseph Perlman, a plastic surgeon in Texas recently interviewed with the Houston Chronicle, and states that “The biggest difference between treating men and women is that men are less knowledgeable and less critical…men like to get stuff that’s quick, fast and doesn’t show anything. With them it’s a one-shot deal.”

The past five years have also shown a steady increase of men at the spa, and medspas and day spas across the country are catering to the trend by offering deluxe spa treatments such as the Gentleman’s Shave, facial treatments and manicures specifically for the well-pampered male.
