Comments on Male Liposuction from a Veteran

In summation, I would like to make several comments about liposuction and expectations:

Liposuction is not for everyone. It is not an easy weight loss strategy.

It should not be considered in my opinion until one is at their "ideal" weight, or you will be disappointed with the final results. It is not a substitute for diet AND exercise. You will gain the fat back if you don't make it a lifelong commitment to watching what you eat and regular exercise.

Liposuction will not guarantee perfection. You cannot take a photo of someone else into a doctor and say "I want to look like her/him". Like all plastic surgeries, it will improve the way you look, but it's unreasonable to expect perfection.

I'm extremely happy with my final results. Results that diet and exercise weren't giving me and lipo alone couldn't either. For me liposuction was another part of my fitness program which includes an hour of cardio, followed by an hour of weight lifting per day, 5-6 days per week. Some would say I'm obsessive compulsive about it, but for the first time in my life, I'm actually comfortable taking off my shirt at a park, or wearing a bathing suit on a crowded beach/pool without feeling a little insecure. For me, the final test of success came one night when looking through a swimsuit catalogue with my wife. She was showing me suits she wanted us to buy for a vacation in Mexico. In looking at the men's suits, she commented "you could do this, your body looks better than most of the twenty something models in here". I have to admit, it wasn't just spousal affection that made her say it either.
