Body Areas - Love Handles

It may be an unfortunate name, but that's what everyone calls them and that's what men want to get rid of, that unsightly bulge sitting above the belt line which appears unathletic, a sign of middle age. And like all areas treated with liposculpture, there is precious little that diet and exercise can do about it. No number of abdominal crunches or trips to the gym make an impression.

Liposculpture can be a saviour here. It is a reliable way of vastly reducing these fatty bulges that look so unflattering in the mirror in the morning. Often the abdomen is treated at the same time, so the whole of the spare tyre is reduced.

Examples

Lovehandles can be large or relatively small, the technique is the same and the results are dramatic.

Common questions about lovehandles liposculpture

Who is a candidate for liposcupture to the lovehandles?

Any man with accumulations of fat at or just above the level of the belt can benefit from this procedure. If you can pinch a roll of fat between your fingers here or see a bulge at this level in the mirror, liposculpture will help get rid of this area.

Is it permanent ?

Yes, the reduction in the size of the lovehandles is permanent as most of the fat cells have been removed.

Are there any scars ?

There are usually 3-4 small 2mm wide access holes per area treated. These are not sutured after the procedure and essentially are invisible after a couple of weeks.

What other areas are treated at the same time ?

Many if not most men will elect to have the abdomen treated at the same time. This makes sense as the love handles usually continue into the abdomen and treatment of the whole of the spare tyre will give the best results. Breast reduction is also sometimes helpful and can be sometimes treated at the same time or separately.

What support garments are required ?

A special compressive suit is worn for 12 days to 2 weeks after the procedure. This is a light garment and can be easily worn under normal clothes, though a dark coloured shirt is necessary, so the the colour of the garment does not show through.

How long does the procedure take ?

Most procedures involving the love handles take from between 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

How much time will I need off...?

In general you should plan on taking 1-2 days off work. It would be about 3 weeks before normal gym activities or jogging should be restarted.

And the cost ?

The cost of this procedure varies according to the areas that require treatment and whether the area is treated alone or in conjunction with other areas. (This is most common.) For an accurate costing, please use the online consultation or make an appointment by phoning (02) 99061555.
