Introduction
In the world of beauty and self-care, the decision to undergo body contouring by liposuction can be a transformative experience for many individuals. A patient from Singapore, who had been struggling with self-confidence as he entered his forties, underwent this procedure 1 year ago. The following story, shared on his private Facebook page, has been reproduced below to protect his privacy.
Is body contouring by liposuction worth it for men?
“My lipo for men’s abs story is not just a tale of physical change but a narrative of self-discovery, resilience, and self-love. Through the ups and downs of this changeover experience, I learned to embrace my imperfections, celebrate my uniqueness, and walk with newfound confidence along the path of self-acceptance.
It all began with a lingering doubt that whispered in the back of my mind every time I looked in the mirror. Despite my best efforts at dieting and exercise, certain stubborn areas of my body refused to budge. In comparison to peers of the same age, my body appeared more feminine and significantly divergent from the toned and muscular figure I once possessed, even in my forties. This seed of doubt blossomed into a perpetual companion, continuously reminding me of my insecurities and impeding my ability to wholeheartedly embrace my authentic identity.
How body shapes can ruin your life
It was important for me to get back in shape because all business meetings take place in a casual atmosphere, such as golf or outdoor activities. Even though I had self-confidence in the office when speaking to opponents or giving presentations, all that confidence vanished when I had to showcase my body on the field. I appeared like a teddy bear in my golf uniform, and my belly hindered my movement. Consequently, I stopped socializing with people outside of the office, and my relationships with partners became less friendly than before. The excess fat not only ruined my appearance, but also affected my physical well-being and had an impact on my business.
After months of contemplation and research, I made the bold decision to pursue liposuction as a means to address my persistent concerns. The thought of undergoing a surgical procedure both excited and frightened me, but deep down, I knew it was the right step towards reclaiming my confidence and self-image.

Is male liposuction painful?
Due to my high sensitivity to pain, I purchased numerous types of pain relievers available in Korea. However, I have not yet unpacked them. I only experienced minor pain when removing or putting on my compression garment, particularly two days after my body-contouring procedure. The size increase in my belly and backside made it nearly impossible to put the garment back on.
The support from my healthcare team and loved ones became my source of strength. Three days after my abdominal liposuction, I was able to shower, making the recovery process more comfortable. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort were temporary companions throughout my transformation journey, but with each passing day, I felt a renewed sense of hope and optimism emerging within me.
