Male Body Contouring

Kyle M Coleman et al. Dermatol Surg. 2017 Nov.

Abstract

Background: Men are increasingly seeking out cosmetic procedures, especially minimally and noninvasive body-contouring procedures.

Objective: With the relative lack of scientific evidence related specifically to the use of body-contouring procedures in men, there is a need for more education and scientific discussion in this growing group.

Materials and methods: Understanding the male anatomy and aesthetics, and how body-contouring techniques and new modalities can be used in men, can lead to better outcomes.

Conclusions: This review of body contouring in men emphasizes currently available literature and author experiences.
