What is the difference between "Lower Flank" and "Love Handles?"

October 17, 2014
Asked By:DemiM in Wichita, KS

I asked for SmartLipo to be used on my love handles and pointed to my hips/waist area. That area did not show any difference. My receipt shows I paid for rear "lower flank" and I'm not exactly sure what "lower flank" means. I had no noticeable results anywhere on my body, even though I also paid for upper and lower abdomen. I have no electronic photos, sorry. It has been 8 months since the procedure.
