Liposuction of love handles. Is the recovery very painful?

April 19, 2016
Asked By:nini1220 in Arlington Heights, Illinois

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!
