Body contouring procedures are fast becoming the surgery of choice for men, says one of the world’s most highly respected liposuction practitioners.
Dr Bryan Mayou, who helped introduce the procedure to the UK 25
years ago, today ascribed much of the increase to new and safe technology
such as the BodyJet: water-jet assisted liposuction as portrayed in Louis
Theroux’s recent documentary ‘Under the Knife’ and now available at the
prestigious Cadogan Clinic in Chelsea, London.
The BAAPS have reported a 61% increase in male tummy tucks and almost 20%
increase in liposuction for men – last year, in fact, liposuction went from
being the 8th most popular procedure overall to being the third. Bryan Mayou
has suggested that the new technique, which involves local anaesthetic and
causes less bruising and down time, has helped pave the way for its growing
popularity.
According to Bryan Mayou, consultant plastic surgeon at Cadogan Clinic and
BAAPS member; “I’m not surprised to see that both liposuction and tummy
tucks have increased rapidly among men as Britain is becoming a more
image-conscious society overall. The BodyJet treatment involves a jet of
water containing adrenaline and local anaesthesia to dislodge fat and numb
the tissue just before it is removed, and the adrenaline reduces bruising.
The result is that smaller or larger volumes of fat can be easily removed.
Most cases are actually carried out under local anaesthesia alone.”
Bryan Mayou has been carrying out the technique for the last few years, and
works closely with BodyJet’s inventor Dr. Harmut Meyer, who will also be
offering the procedure at the Cadogan Clinic.
