I am having a very hard time getting rid of my love handles despite diet and exercise! I am a 37 years old female, at 120lbs and 5 8, and eat well! I don't want to lose more weight, because then my BMI will be very low! I want to get liposuction on my flanks but I am afraid of the pain level after. I have kids and will only have partial help during recovery! By the way, I honestly don't have the best pain tolerance... Is lipo realistic for someone with low pain tolerance? Thank you for your feedback!

Answer: Liposuction of love handles. Is the recovery very painful? Thank you for your question. Most patients are able to tolerate liposuction quite well, with little complaints of acute pain, but rather a dull soreness. Depending on the amount of liposuction performed, you should only need a couple of days of assistance before you will find yourself returning to the majority of your everyday activities.

Answer: Pain associated with liposuction I describe the pain associated with liposuction as similar to that of a deep bruise. I find that liposuction of the love handles is not a particularly painful area, while liposuction of the flanks (higher on the back near the bra line) is more uncomfortable. As with most plastic surgery procedures, the pain is more significant in the first 2-3 days after surgery, though you will have some discomfort in the areas treated for several weeks. I advise patients not to drive while they're on pain medication and until they feel like they can do so safely (i.e. slam on the brakes, swerve to avoid an accident, etc.), which for most liposuction patients is about a week. In terms of the other aspects of taking care of kids, most moms only need help for a few days.
