SmartLipo to love handles: would I have good results? (photos)

Question

I would like to get SmartLipo on my love handles. I’m 5’3 130 lbs, female. What is this area technically called and would I have good results? See photo.

Based on the pictures that you have shown, you seem to have a good skin elasticity compared to the amount of subcutaneous tissue, or fat. Typically this would portend good to excellent results with a liposuction procedure, and SMARTLipo can enhance these results. Make sure that you are utilizing a board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure your safety and excellent results.

Dear gatorallie11,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question. The love handle area is generally referred to as the flanks. This area responds very well to smart Lipo and micro cannular Liposuction. The skin in that area retracts well so the results are fairly consistent. Pick someone who has experience in that area and you should have good results. Good luck on your journey!

I think your love handles would best be treated with Smart Lipo, but by your photos I would suggest also including your braline fat for optimal results. With Smart Lipo, the procedure is done with local anesthesia, melting of fat and skin tightening with laser, and gentler and safer removal of the fat with shorter downtime. I have never had someone disappointed with the decision to treat their lovehandles!

Hello, 
This is a very common problem amongst all. Stubborn fat from the abdomen and love handles do not go away in spite of a healthy lifestyle or exercise. I also suggest inquiring about 360 smart lipo. It is crucial to get sculpted all around rather than just one area. You will be able to see nice hourglass shape with 360 lipo.
