Is it possible to only have lipo on the flanks (love handles) and waistline?

Yes, it is possible to undergo liposuction specifically targeting the flanks (love handles) and waistline. Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be customized to address specific areas of concern on the body.

During a liposuction procedure targeting the flanks and waistline, the surgeon will use a thin tube called a cannula to suction out excess fat deposits from these areas, contouring them to achieve a more desired shape. This can help improve the overall appearance of the waistline and reduce the appearance of love handles.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns, as well as to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for liposuction in these specific areas. Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, assess your body composition, and discuss the expected results and potential risks of the procedure before proceeding.

Hello and thank you for your question. Without photos and a physical examination and a discussion of what your concerns are, it is difficult to answer the question; however, it is possible to have liposuction on just the love handles and mid-back where the waistline is. Your surgeon should be able to give you an idea of what can be accomplished and whether your goals can be met.
