Zeltiq for Male Love Handles

Soon to be FDA approved for fat reduction, Zeltiq is currently being used in Canada and Europe for just your problem. Zeltiq is approved in the US for other indications and can be used off label for fat reduction. It is in the hands of select physicians at this time.

You're a perfect candidate for flank Liposuction

You are a perfect candidate. SmartLipo will not only remove your problem area, it’ll also tighten the area. Liposuction is a great way to remove localized fat deposits that won’t go away from diet and/or exercise.

Smart Lipo of the flanks in a man

Flank lipodystrophy in a man can be treated very nicely by liposuction. This can be done with Smart Lipo, traditional Lipo, Vaser, PAL or any other form.

Smart Lipo and Liposuction can improve male flanks

Smart Lipo and Liposuction can totally improve your hips. Go get opinions. I believe only invasive techniques can achieve the best results not these external treatments like Zerona or Zeltiq.
