Who Are the Best Candidates For Body Contouring?

To be considered a candidate for body contouring, you should be close to your ideal body weight and in good general health.

If you wish to learn more, please contact us today to schedule a consultation for one of the best body contouring options Marina del Rey has to offer.

What is the First Step?

Getting started with male body contouring in Los Angeles is a straightforward process. You will sit down with Dr. Macias for a private consultation to discuss your cosmetic goals and address any questions you may have. The doctor will conduct a thorough physical and medical evaluation to ensure that no contraindications are present. Once your candidacy has been approved and your surgery date has been scheduled, the doctor will provide you with personalized preparation instructions to follow. It’s a good idea to fill any prescriptions ahead of time and schedule a responsible adult, friend, or family member to drive you home after your male body contouring appointment. If you smoke, you will need to quit at least 4-6 weeks before and after your surgery, as smoking can significantly impact your final results and lead to potential complications.

What to Expect on the Day of Body Contouring Surgery

Our Marina del Rey body contouring procedures can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on your individual needs and the size of the treatment area. To begin, Dr. Macias will create small incisions in the area of your unwanted fat. He will then place a small, hollow tube (cannula) through those openings to break up and remove the excess volume while artfully shaping a more sculpted body.

If there are areas of the body you’d like to augment with extra volume, Dr. Macias will also perform a fat transfer. He will cleanse and purify the extracted fat and inject it into the chest, arms, buttocks, and calves to complete your athletic physique.

Body Contouring Recovery

The recovery period for male body contouring varies depending on the patient and their unique treatment areas. Some procedures may cause swelling, soreness, and bruising after surgery. However, recovery is usually fairly mild. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for about one month, and most patients can return to work after four to seven days.

How Much Does Body Contouring Cost in Los Angeles, CA?

Your personal investment will depend on your location, your surgeon’s experience, the procedures performed, and the number of areas being contoured. During your private consultation at our Marina del Rey office, Dr. Macias can provide you with a personalized idea of your expected investment.
