What about flanks liposuction?

Flanks liposuction, also known as flankplasty or love handle liposuction, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the sides of the waist and abdomen. It can be performed alone or in combination with other liposuction procedures, such as tummy tuck or liposuction of the thighs.

How is flanks liposuction performed?

Flanks liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions in the skin and insert a cannula, a thin tube, into the fatty tissue. The cannula is then used to suction out the excess fat.

What are the risks of flanks liposuction?

What is the recovery time for flanks liposuction?
