Summary

The male demand for cosmetic procedures targeting localized deposits of subcutaneous adipose tissue has grown rapidly over the past decade. Current therapeutic options are less invasive, decreasing downtime and adverse events, while providing a more natural aesthetic appearance. This chapter highlights the numerous available modalities for subcutaneous fat reduction in male patients.

Key words

noninvasive fat reduction - tumescent liposuction - cryolipolysis - cryoadipolysis - high-intensity focused ultrasound - sodium deoxycholate
