Is it possible to only have lipo on the flanks (love handles) and waistline?

Contouring the abdomen correctly is important when trying to get the look you desire. It is possible to only liposuction the sides of the abdomen (the waist) without altering the belly. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgery to discuss treatment plans that are specific to your desires.

Thank you for your inquiry.
For me to offer a valid medical opinion, it's essential to review images of your body from various perspectives. I recommend seeking treatment from a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure to achieve optimal results.
Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.

Yes, it is possible to undergo liposuction specifically targeting the flanks (love handles) and waistline. Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be customized to address specific areas of concern on the body.

During a liposuction procedure targeting the flanks and waistline, the surgeon will use a thin tube called a cannula to suction out excess fat deposits from these areas, contouring them to achieve a more desired shape. This can help improve the overall appearance of the waistline and reduce the appearance of love handles.

It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns, as well as to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for liposuction in these specific areas. Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, assess your body composition, and discuss the expected results and potential risks of the procedure before proceeding.

Hello and thank you for your question. Without photos and a physical examination and a discussion of what your concerns are, it is difficult to answer the question; however, it is possible to have liposuction on just the love handles and mid-back where the waistline is. Your surgeon should be able to give you an idea of what can be accomplished and whether your goals can be met.

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry about possibly having liposuction specifically targeting the waistline or love handles without involving the abdomen.
You'll be pleased to know that it's entirely possible to focus liposuction on just the waistline area. Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be tailored to target specific areas of the body where isolated fat deposits are present. This customization allows patients to address particular problem areas without affecting other body parts.
In your case, if you're satisfied with the appearance of your abdomen and bellybutton, and only wish to address the love handles (also known as the superior iliac crest region), you can certainly do so. Your plastic surgeon can perform liposuction that is limited to this area, helping to contour and reduce fat specifically around the waistline.
It's important to discuss your specific goals and concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can provide a detailed assessment and create a treatment plan that aligns with your desired outcome. Remember, each individual’s body is unique, and a tailored approach is key to achieving the best possible results.
I hope this information has helped clarify your options regarding targeted liposuction. Good luck with your decision and the potential procedure.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen
