Does full abdominal liposuction include love handles and waist?

Question

I am consideringn full abdominal liposuction and I would like to know if my love handles and waist will reduce after the procedure

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. In order to leave the most pleasing contour most patients that desire abdominal liposuction will also have their love handles and waist suctioned.  From a cost point of view, you would have to specify the areas you would like to see fat removed from as it will determine the amount of time needed in the operating room.

Liposuction of the flank or love handle area commonly is done with the abdomen. Designating an area for liposuction is primarily for the purposes of establishing a price.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the flanks and waist is not included in full abdominal liposuction. Upper and lower front of your belly is considered full abdominal liposuction.

Hello and thanks for your question. You have to talk to your PS and let him know you want those areas treated as well usually we do liposuction to flanks but you everything has to be completely clear so you are satisfied with your surgery.Best wishes.Dr. Milla

W. Bryant Walker, MD · Answer

Liposuction pricing is generally done by treatment areas (and time estimated to perform the procedure).  In most practices in my area, the hips/waist/flank is considered a separate treatment area from the abdomen.  Discuss with your surgeon.  A formal quote should be provided prior to your operation.
