Love Handles Liposuction in Long Island

How Love Handles Liposuction Works

Love handles liposuction targets fat deposits around the waist and flanks to create a more contoured and sculpted body shape. This procedure is ideal for those who have localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. It is also part of a larger Lipo 360 procedure if that is something that is needed.

• Targeted Fat Removal: I focus on removing excess fat from the love handles and flanks to improve the contour of your waist and sides.
• Precision Contouring: Using liposuction, we can sculpt the love handles and flanks, helping you achieve a smoother and more balanced appearance.
• Small Incisions: The procedure involves making small incisions in discreet locations around the waist and flanks to minimize scarring while effectively removing fat.

Removing fat from these areas can significantly enhance your body’s shape and improve your overall look.

What Happens During the Procedure

Love handles liposuction typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

Preparation involves administering liposuction anesthesia to ensure your comfort. This may include local anesthesia combined with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the liposuction.

Small incisions are made around the love handles and flanks in discreet locations. These incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring while allowing access to the fat deposits.

Using a cannula, I carefully break up and suction out the excess fat from the love handles and flanks. The cannula is a thin, flexible tube that allows for precise fat removal. I use controlled movements to ensure an even and smooth result.

Throughout the procedure, I continuously monitor the results to ensure the fat is being removed evenly and the contours of your waist and flanks are being sculpted as planned.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Recovery from love handles liposuction involves managing swelling and bruising, but following my post-operative care instructions will help you recover effectively.

• Initial Recovery: You may experience discomfort and swelling in the treated areas. Wearing a compression garment will support your waist and flanks while reducing swelling. Improvements will become more noticeable as the swelling decreases over the following weeks.
• Returning to Normal Activities: Most patients can resume light activities within a week. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for several weeks to ensure proper healing. Full results, including improved contours of your love handles and flanks, will become visible as healing progresses over the next few months.

Proper care during the recovery period is essential for achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth healing process.
