While increasing numbers of male liposculpture patients are found in cosmetic surgery clinics all over the country (or world, for that matter!), it’s no secret that by far the largest customer base of the surgeon is that of the female gender. Women make up the vast majority of patients receiving liposculpture treatments, and all cosmetic procedures in general, over their male counterparts.

In 2008 alone, the United Stated saw roughly 330,000 patients receiving liposuction. Of this number, about 30,000 can be attributed to men and the remaining 300,000 procedures were performed on women.

What are the most popular areas of the body to be treated with liposuction for women as opposed to men?

The answer varies depending on which survey is consulted, but it seems that the following procedures always make it to the top of the list.

1. Thigh Liposculpture
Thigh liposculpture removed fat and tightens the skin in the area around the thighs. Many women opt for this procedure.

2. Buttocks Liposculpture
Along with the thights, improvements to the buttocks is a very popular liposculpture procedure for women to get.

3. Abdominal Liposculpture
Another popular option in women as it is for men, having fat removed from the abdominal area is a popular choice.

4. Breast Reduction
While breast augmentation is also hugely popular, it’s a different type of cosmetic surgery than liposculpture. When it comes to the breast area, liposculpture works to reduce the size of the breasts. Many women have this done for health concerns that relate to having disproportionately large breasts.

5. Arm Liposculpture
This type of liposculpture targets excess fat that accumulates in the upper arms. This is sometimes informally referred to as bat wings. Having this fat removed from the arms, and having the skin tightened in the same areas, is a very popular choice amongst female cosmetic surgery patients.

These 5 procedures, covering the breasts, arms, buttocks, abs, and thighs, are very popular choices for women seeking the services of a liposculpture doctor. As mentioned, according to ASAPS, last year saw over a quarter of a million women use liposuction services. This trend will surely continue as women leverage all the available options to improve their body, reduce the effects of aging, and generally just look for methods to look great at any age.

In 2008, over 30,000 men received lipoplasty procedures. Lipoplasty – also called liposuction or liposculpture – was the number one procedure for men when it came to top surgical cosmetic procedures, followed by rhinoplasty (also informally known as a “nose job”) with just slightly over 30,000 procedures too.
While this number pales in comparison to the [...]

This century has seen countless breakthroughs in medicine and surgery that would nearly seem miraculous to the generations before us. For a person born in 1910, who would’ve thought that in 100 years it’d be possible to remove fat from nearly anywhere in the body, reshape the nose, tighten skin in the abs, thighs, and [...]

In explaining the liposuction technique known as tumescent liposculpture, it will be helpful to contrast it with other methods in order to illustrate the differences between the two. Prior to the widespread adoption of tumescent liposculpture, a patient being treated to have fat removed via liposculpture / liposuction, was at the receiving end of a [...]

Despite claims to the contrary, liposuction no longer holds the reigning title as the king (or queen) of cosmetic surgery procedures. As of 2008, it’s no longer true that liposculpture, or liposuction, is the most popular non invasive cosmetic surgery procedure performed in the United States of America.
In May of 2009, the American Society for [...]

Liposculpture Basics
Liposculpture is a form of cosmetic surgery in which a doctor removes fat from the body of a patient, typically for the purpose of aesthetic appeal i.e. as desired by the patient, to make themselves appear more physically attractive. This removal of fat is permanent, and when done properly, the risks of scarring or [...]
