Is there a way to get rid of love handles without liposuction?

Thank you for your question. Based on your photo you appear to be a good candidate for this procedure. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Although there’s no substitute for an in-person consultation, you appear to be an excellent candidate for CoolSculpting®. The non-surgical body contouring treatment targets diet and exercise resistant areas of fat with the use of controlled cooling to freeze unwanted fat cells, causing them to crystallize and die. CoolSculpting® is particularly effective at treating the love handles, so I think you’d see a nice outcome from this treatment. Consult with a CoolSculpting® Technician for optimal results.

Coolsculpting is an excellent form of non-invasive  fat reduction for the right patient. Some applicators take 1 or 2 hours but the new advantage applicators take only 35 minutes and have significantly less risk for delayed onset pain (especially in the abdomen). Results are seen at 2 months and typically 1-3 treatments will be necessary on each area to achieve ideal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat there and the patient's goals.  There is not downtime and the results can be impressive in the right patient.  We also use the Zimmer Z-wave for improved patient comfort and added results. The best candidates are those who are in pretty good shape with areas of stubborn fat that won't go away no matter what. In office evaluation is necessary to evaluate what procedure would be best for you. My best,Sheila Nazarian, MD, MMMBeverly Hills, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

CoolSculpting is a very effective and satisfying way of eliminating stubborn fat, such as love handles, without surgery or significant downtime or side effects. Trimming your shape will not make you look out of proportion, but will give you a more toned and athletic look that is in harmony with the rest of your physique. You are right…the love handles and/or lower hip can square off the shape of the buttocks. CoolSculpting of these areas can definitely make a big difference in reducing the “square” shape and giving a more curvy, tapered feminine shape. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to learn more about how CoolSculpting can help you achieve your optimal shape.

Hello alexxswifttt,Thank you for an excellent question.  The lastest advance in noninvasive body contouring is SculpSure, a laser based treatment that can permanently reduce up to 24% of stubborn fat in a 25 minute session.  Noninvasive body contouring should be a great option for you.  I hope that helps!All my best!
