Liposuction for Men in Washington D.C.


In Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas, liposuction has always been one of the most popular procedures for men. From minimizing the appearance of male breasts to reducing love handles and sculpting the abs, liposuction has helped numerous men remove unwanted fat accumulations that are not responsive to diet or exercise. Though its goal is to address unwanted fat, it is important to remember that liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a substitute for weight loss. Men considering liposuction in Chevy Chase or Bethesda, MD, or Arlington, VA, combine the procedure with a weight loss and exercise program. Many men find the confidence boost they get through body contouring with liposuction gives them extra motivation to stay at a healthy weight.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction cannot change your body’s underlying structure, but it can significantly improve contours when subcutaneous fat is the problem. The best liposuction candidates are those who are at or close to their ideal body weight and size, yet still have persistent areas of unwanted fat accumulation.

The most common areas men have liposuction include the abdomen, chest, and hips, although other areas can be treated, such as the neck. If you feel that more than one issue needs to be corrected, liposuction may be combined with other procedures to maximize your overall benefits in one operation, such as tummy tuck surgery.


How Much Does Male Liposuction Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?

Liposuction procedures start at $7,000 in the DC area, increasing with the size and number of areas treated. You will receive a personalized cost estimate after your consultation with one of our providers.

ESTABLISHED EXCELLENCE

Choose the experts that locals know and trust. Our multigenerational practice includes board-certified plastic surgeons who provide the best possible care with state-of-the-art technology.

  • What Happens During Liposuction Surgery?


Liposuction is a safe procedure when surgeons follow appropriate guidelines. We have an anesthesiologist present during liposuction to ensure that you are comfortable and safe. It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, so we limit the amount of fat removed during any one operation.

During liposuction, a hollow metal tube called a cannula is connected to a suction machine. We insert the cannula through a small incision into the area of the body adjacent to the unwanted fat. The fat cells are then aspirated—in other words, removed. Infiltration of physiological saline solutions allows easier removal of fatty tissue, reduces blood loss, and increases postoperative comfort. Because the incisions and the cannula are small, the resulting scars are usually inconspicuous.

Advanced Liposuction Technology

You can rest assured we keep up to date on the best in suction-assisted lipectomy techniques. Tumescent, MicroAire®, ultrasound, and laser-assisted techniques are all options your CPS board-certified plastic surgeon may discuss with you in consultation.


What Is Recovery Like After Liposuction?

After liposuction, you will be placed in an elastic support garment while you are still asleep. This garment will cover and compress the treated areas to limit fluid accumulation and provide gentle, balanced pressure to assure a smooth final contour. You will wear this garment continuously for two to four weeks, except when bathing.

Some patients experience bruising and swelling after liposuction. Others may experience some skin rippling. These conditions will improve considerably in the first few weeks, but the final result* can take several months to be fully visible. Most men are able to resume normal activities, including walking and driving, in 5 to 7 days. You should postpone strenuous exercise for three weeks.

A Reputation Built on Results

  • I had breast lift with Motiva, mini implant and flank Lipo with Dr. Rao- He’s done a great job. I’m postop and feel the results have been really well done. It’ll take a while for me to see the final results, but I feel confident that they will look great. Bedside manner and expertise have all been top-notch.

  • I am 12 weeks post-lipo and I’m very satisfied with my results. I’m still healing, but I’m truly happy with how things are looking so far. It took me time to make my decision because I was genuinely scared, but I never felt any pressure from the team — only reassuring advice, patience, and encouragement. I shopped around and compared several locations, and CPS clearly stood out for providing the best customer service. Dr. Kanuri was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made the entire experience very reassuring. The post-surgery follow-up has been on point — this is not a place that just collects payment and checks boxes. They truly make your care a personal commitment. The first days post-op, Dr. Kanuri personally followed up with me daily via text to ensure I was doing well and to see if I needed anything. Choosing CPS and Dr. Kanuri was the best decision I made for a boost of self-confidence. I highly recommend them — Dr. Kanuri is truly the best.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Arjun Kanuri and the team at The Centers for Plastic Surgery! Dr. Kanuri performed liposuction, J-Plasma, and Aveli on me, and the results have been absolutely life-changing. He customized the combination of these procedures to match my goals — and I’m blown away by the transformation. I used to struggle with a perimenopausal belly and legs that always made me self-conscious. I hadn’t worn shorts in over 10 years — and now I’m confidently wearing them again for the first time in forever. I feel youthful, fit, and more like myself than I have in years! Throughout the process, he was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive. He really took the time to listen to what I wanted, explain the options, and walk me through everything. Any time I had a question or needed reassurance, he was there — supportive, kind, and professional. Dr. Kanuri isn’t just an exceptionally talented plastic surgeon — he truly cares. If you’re thinking about body contouring or anything similar, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I feel confident, comfortable, and happy in my skin again — and that’s priceless.

  • Dr Fleury did a great job doing a breast revision using fat grafting from liposuction from my legs and torso. One of my breast implants ruptured in February ( 20 years old ) and Dr. Fleury and his staff made sure I had the orders in place for a mammogram which I was due for and making the surgery date as soon as possible. Erin, coordinator, was in great writing up the detailed surgery options. Alisa and Alexandra, nurses, were excellent in assisting at my office visits. Sherry, a long time Coordinator of CPS greeted us on day of surgery, Diane was a fantastic surgical nurse as was the anesthesiologist. Dr. Fleury, who is very positive and professional with a good sense of humor was clear about explaining the procedure did an excellent job with the surgery. Breasts are perfectly symmetrical and great job on using the slimming liposuction. 5 stars for CPS!!!

  • Dr. Albino is truly a master of his craft and considered the top plastic surgeon in the DC area for good reason! I could not be happier with my results and experience. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Albino including facelift, blepharoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, breast lift, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. These were performed in different surgeries over the past 5 years but each time I have been thrilled with my results. The Center for Plastic Surgery is the all-around best practice with amazing staff. From the very first consultation, I felt confident with their expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. Whether I went in for skincare, injections, consultations for surgery, the entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and true professionals. Everyone was so helpful, everything was always explained so well, lots of options available and always offered a clear understanding and expectation of desired results. I can't say enough good things about the Doctors and complete staff!

  • I had a really good experience with Dr Albino. He did chin liposuction and breast augmentation for me. He is very professional and knowledgeable! Answered all my questions. It was easy to communicate with him. After the consultation I felt like I was in a good hands. His coordinator Shiloh was really nice and helpful . I am happy with the results!

    natallia stephenson
  • The best plastic surgeon in the DMV. The attention and care he gives his patients is world-class. He is very attentive to what his patient wants and is looking to accomplish. Dr. Kanuri did my mommy makeover (breast augmentation w/lift, tummy tuck w/ ab reconstruction, and lipo 360). In my mid-40s and I finally have the body of my dreams! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance - improve - revise!

    Veronica Clarke
  • Dr Rao and his entire staff were so polite and professional right from the start! Any questions I had, even after the procedure were always answered quickly and thoroughly. From a surgical standpoint, the day of went off so smoothly, everyone was very professional and caring. I am beyond pleased with my results so far(at present I am 5 weeks post abdominoplasty with liposuction) and I cannot wait to see the final product as I continue to heal. The incision was so precise and healed beautifully and I have had minimal swelling! The office sends you home with a ton of information regarding getting ready for and recovering after procedure. I felt very prepared and not nervous at all when surgery day came along!

    Rachel Lawrence
  • Dr. Kanuri is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He has done a couple procedures for me with incredible results. From tags removed to liposuction to Botox. I have talked to him about other procedures and feel confident about him conducting them.

    Sean O'Neill
  • I can't say enough good things about Dr. Albino and his exceptional staff. I spent a long time researching different surgeons in the Northern VA area. I am so happy I went with Dr. Albino. From my initial consult, pre-surgery appointment, day of surgery and post op appointments, I felt I was in good hands. Dr. Albino explains everything in detail, is reassuring, confident, and has a great sense of humor. I found the detailed post surgery care packet CPS provides to be extremely helpful. I also appreciated Dr. Albino reaching out the morning after my surgery to check on me. I had an extended abdominoplasty and lipo. After two c-sections years ago and recently losing a significant amount of weight, I had excess skin. I am now about eight weeks out and I could not be happier with the results - even better than I thought possible. Dr. Albino is at the top of his game and I highly recommend him!

    Terrie
  • Fantastic experience with Dr. Kanuri! He’s very kind, listens, makes you feel very comfortable, and let’s you ask lots of questions. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything. The results of my neck liposuction were fantastic, and the incision sites healed beautifully. Would recommend Dr. Kanuri highly!

    Kathryn Burgess
  • Thank you to Dr Kanuri and the team at CPS for the personalized and individualized care received during my procedure. I chose Dr Kanuri after I had received consultation from 3 different Drs.. From initial meeting Dr Kanuri was attentive and listened to my wants for a tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr Kanuri made me very comfortable by going over expectations and what to expect after, he was very professional and caring. I was very impressed on the second day post -Op when i saw my body in the mirror. Dr Kanuri and his team called and texted me several times daily to check on me upon getting home after the procedure and for the first three days post-op. Best money spent for me ,as a Nurse Practitioner I will recommend Dr Kanuri to anyone looking to do the same procedure.

  • I had a tummy tuck with liposculpture 11 days ago with Dr. Arjun Kanuri. I am very happy with the results and excited to see the doctor's excellent work in the future. God put me in the best hands; he is a wonderful human being. The staff at the clinic were very kind and wonderful people. I could give it more than 5 stars 🌟 and I would recommend it 100%.

  • I am absolutely thrilled with my results! Dr Rao really knows how to contour a woman’s body. My lipo and tummy tuck look so good and I know as the months go on it will only get better! The staff is wonderful & Dr. Rao is very friendly and really spends time talking with you and listening to your concerns. He gave me so much input on how he was going to shape my figure. I couldn’t be happier! Just go for it & make your appointment with Dr. Rao, you won’t regret it!

  • I had visited quite a few notable surgeons, and was referred to Dr Kanuri, At our first meeting ,he seemed so young and I mentally wondered if I had made the wrong decision. Well the rest is history! Awesome choice and best decision. One of the best doctors with people skills, great bedside manners and an engaging personality. He answered all my questions, concerns and fears honestly but most importantly did amazing job with lipo. He checked in daily to see if all was well during the first two weeks and has been in touch (text, calls and email) regularly. I am so pleased, thankful and appreciative of meeting Dr Kanuri and his 'expertise. Go rock the world!!

    Ann Long
  • I recently had a mini tummy tuck and liposuction with Dr. Rao and he did an excellent job. Minimal scarring and a precise incision. He also explained everything in everyday terms so that the average person without a medical background could understand and feel comfortable.

    Elizabeth Durst
  • Dr. Kanuri is incredible – like any addict, I started with injectables and then went all in with vaser lipo on arms, lipo 360, and legs and had the fat transferred to my breasts and hips. Best decision of my life to do this with Arjun. He answered all my questions before surgery and checked in daily post surgery. Can’t wait to have him do more!

    Marina Borshch
  • Highly recommend Dr. Rao and his team, they are the utmost of professionals. I had a "mommy makeover" (drainless tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo of hips and back, and 520 cc breast augmentation (no lift)). The whole process... from consultation, my 'second guessing' appt, pre-op, and post-op has been nothing short of wonderful. Dr. Rao is a combination of caring, patient, and skillful. Also worth mentioning, his office manager Laramie is THE sweetest and all the nurses I met are fabulous. Seriously, dream team. If you are doing your research looking for a great surgeon, great experience, and great price... book a consultation with Dr. Rao! He, and his techniques, have exceeded my expectations.

    Amanda Floro
  • All I can say is WOW!!!! My experience with Dr. Albino was incredible. My procedure was an abdominoplasty with Lipo, and the results are amazing! I have a whole new body and have lost 12 pounds since surgery. HIs bedside manner is excellent. The booklet they give you walks you through every step of the way to include the roller coaster ride of feelings that you will experience. Recovery is no joke, so make sure you have an excellent support system. I'm glad I chose Dr. Albino for my procedure.

    Tomeka Symonds
  • I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Dr. Rao and the entire team at CPS! From my initial consultation to my surgery and then follow up, the experience was wonderful. Dr. Rao spent a good amount of time with me during my consultation to make sure he really understood what my goals were and making sure I was comfortable with what he was proposing. I never felt rushed, and he took the time really explain what my procedure would entail. I could not be happier with my results (breast lift with augmentation, and tummy tuck with lipo) , Dr. Rao is truly an artist and pays attention to the tiniest details, which have a huge impact. My recovery was great as well, with minimal swelling and zero complications. Additionally, my scars are beautiful and barely noticeable. I have a renewed sense of confidence and would recommend Dr. Rao to any of my friends or family who are looking to have cosmetic procedures done.

    Erin Driscoll
  • Dr. Rao is beyond Amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. I am a runner and had issues with chafing on my inner thighs. I also had a small pooch that seemed to stay there even at my lowest weight. Dr. Rao, recommended liposuction and it has changed everything. Now I have a nice sculptured figure and couldn't be happier. I also felt very comfortable and well prepared with all of his staff. I am very happy I found Dr. Rao to guide me through it. Thank you CPS!

    Teresa Sawyer
  • Several years ago, I had gynecomastia surgery on my pecs that went well. I continued to try working on lingering belly fat for years after but between not giving up enough carbs and work stress, it wasn't going anywhere. After getting a quote from my former doctor, I did some research and found Dr Albino. I ended up scheduling the surgery on my stomach and flanks almost immediately after meeting him. A year later, I've been very happy with the results. His bedside manner is great, he was very accessible to me/checked in via text, and his prices were reasonable. I'd recommend him to a friend and would use him again.

    Rizwan Sheikh
  • Paramount to his gentle and personable bedside manner are the results he can deliver. As a man going into his 30s, I tried for years to manage my reality dealing with Gynecomastia. I had many reservations about committing to a procedure to fix my issue but Dr. Albino put me at ease and did an incredible job. He was an absolute pleasure through the process and this procedure has been nothing short of life changing. I was the man who wears winter clothes all year round for fear my swollen chest would draw negative attention. Now I find myself impatiently waiting for summer so I can showcase my new physique and it is very much because of Dr. Albino and wonderful team at CPS!

    Blake Gouhari
  • My wife recently had surgery here, a mommy makeover. Dr. Rao did such a great job, we are now a month and half out from surgery and my wife is free from restrictions and so happy with the results. Paula was also great, her personality was one of the highlights of our visits there. My wife is asking me to leave this review, that's how happy she is. It was her first surgery ever and Dr. Rao made her feel comfortable and reassured. This is a great place for this type of work, we would recommend. Now as the husband, I will say thank you too... and for obvious reasons 🤣😉
