Understanding the Procedure of
Liposuction for Men in TorontoLiposuction versus Tummy Tuck
Many of the men that we see, often express frustration in that despite aggressive exercise and diet they still find themselves plagued by areas of unwanted and resistant fat. This is most common about the waistline and flanks (love handles or spare tires as they are sometimes called). This becomes very frustrating to patients who find themselves in great physical shape but are unable to get rid of these problem areas.
Initial Liposuction Consultation in Our Toronto Clinic
Every procedure with Rice Cosmetic Surgery requires an initial consultation. Our liposuction consultation generally lasts from 45 minutes to an hour. Dr. Sean Rice is present at all consultations along with a staff member where, together, they will guide you through the array of liposuction options and address any concerns that you may have.
Variety of Options
LiposuctionDr. Rice is the first plastic cosmetic surgeon in Canada to offer laser liposuction. Dr. Rice has also lectured on the technique and benefits of laser liposuction to other surgeons.
SmartLipo™ Laser liposuction differs from traditional liposuction in that the fat is easily melted by the laser. The SmartLipo™ laser also helps to coagulate small blood vessels, therefore resulting in decreased bruising. One of the most significant improvements over traditional liposuction is that laser liposuction will aid in tightening the loose skin, leaving the patient with an enhanced aesthetic result. Occasionally, laser liposuction can be used in areas such as the neck and knees as a way to tighten loose skin only.
SmartLipo™ Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that employs the amazing power and versatility of lasers to melt away fat. By using a single laser fiber to heat and disintegrate fat cells inside the body, Smart Lipo™ produces significantly less bleeding, bruising, and trauma than traditional liposuction, resulting in far shorter recover times. Laser liposuction is best for treating localized fatty deposits in patients who are in generally good health and has the added benefit of improving skin firmness by boosting tissue coagulation, further enhancing the surgeon’s ability to reshape and sculpt the area.
SmartLipo™ Laser Assisted Consultation

Our Toronto clinic is designed to make you feel comfortable in your surroundings.

Rice Cosmetic Surgery’s Dr Rice is proud to be the first plastic surgeon in Canada to introduce Body Jet Water liposuction into his Toronto cosmetic surgery practice.
This revolutionary water assisted liposuction technique represents the latest in liposuction technology. It can be applied to multiple areas of the body at the same time and reduce the sometimes lumpy texture associated with the traditional tumescent infiltration technique, and all without the pain and bruising found in standard liposuction procedures. The Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction technique was developed to avoid the problems associated with tumescent infiltration used in standard liposuction procedures.Tumescent infiltration causes tissue swelling which lowers operative accuracy and can result in serious side affects. Body-Jet Liposuction gently washes away the fat without traumatizing other structures such as blood vessels and nerves. Water-Jet liposuction has shown to be clearly superior to traditional methods because of the dramatically reduced session length and less pain. With Body-Jet Liposuction less manual pressure is needed to remove the fat and thus a simple local anesthetic can be used.
Dr. Rice is proud to be the first plastic surgeon in Canada to offer SlimLipo. Dr. Rice and his premier liposuction surgery clinic in Toronto have been selected by manufacturers of SlimLipo to be the Canadian training facility for laser assisted liposuction by SlimLipo.
Slim laser lipo is the latest in laser assisted liposuction procedures. It offers both an improved tightening effect than older lasers as well as a faster recovery time and less bruising. This amazing combination has allowed many liposuction patients to return to work in record times – sometimes on the same day. Furthermore, skin tightening and smoothing effects of slim lipo are unseen with older laser assisted liposuction devices. Many patients who are left with skin irregularities as a result of traditional liposuction (lumps and bumps on the skin) are now seeking the smoothing effects of SlimLipo at Dr. Rice’s Toronto Liposuction surgery centre.
