Say Good Bye To Love Handles
Nowadays, image conscious men and women are concerned about how to get rid of love handles, and many of them are turning to liposuction. These people are often fit and healthy, but find that the size and shape of their flanks does not change, despite adjustments to diet and lifestyle. As a result, the flanks have become a very popular area for liposuction.
Liposuction for love handles
Liposuction is a very effective treatment for love handles, because it eliminates the fat cells, and creates a more sculptured appearance. The procedure is done with the use of a cannula, which is a very small tube. The cannula is inserted into the targeted areas via tiny incisions. It then breaks down the fat cells, which are removed from the body through the attached suction tubing.
Best Candidates for Lipo
Liposuction is not designed to get rid of large quantities of fat. Therefore the ideal candidate should be in good shape, but in need of help to target stubborn fat on the flanks. In addition, they should have good skin laxity, so that the skin is able to contract quickly after lipo. This is important as lipo removes fat, but it does not tighten the skin.
Post-Liposuction
Patients are usually asked to wear a compression garment for up to 3 weeks after surgery, to help the skin contract. The results of liposuction are permanent, but patients will have to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, in order to maintain it.
