Sculpt your waistline with precision fat removal
Even with a healthy lifestyle, love handles (fat on the flanks) can be stubborn and resistant to diet or exercise. At Ageworth Clinics, we offer targeted liposuction for the flanks, focusing on small-volume contouring to achieve a smoother, more defined waist — all performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.
The procedure is carried out by a plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, ensuring precision, safety, and natural-looking results.
Your treatment starts with a personal consultation. We assess your body shape, fat distribution, and skin elasticity. For small local fat deposits on the sides of the waist (flanks), liposuction is a highly effective, long-lasting solution. If you’re a suitable candidate, we create a customized treatment plan that focuses specifically on your love handle area.
After applying local anesthesia, a fine cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to gently suction out excess fat from the flanks. The procedure takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. The goal is to enhance the natural waist curve without overcorrection. No stitches are needed, and the incisions are barely visible once healed.
You may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness for a few days. A compression garment is worn for 1 to 2 weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients resume daily activities within 1–3 days. Avoid intense exercise for one week.
As long as your weight remains stable, the fat removal is permanent. Results become visible after 2–3 weeks, with the final result seen after about 6 to 8 weeks.
