Caused by certain factors such as aging, heredity, pregnancy, and hormonal changes, excess fat in the flanks or love handles is a common aesthetic concern for both men and women. This fat around the midsection tends to persist even if you manage to get the rest of your body in shape through diet and exercise. Fortunately, BodyTite love handles liposuction in New York City is a great cosmetic procedure available to successfully remove this extra fat and contour your body. Performed by skilled and experienced plastic surgeons, the procedure helps to remove the stubborn fat deposits in the flanks to result in a trimmer, well-shaped midsection – without invasive surgery or scars.
BodyTite love handles liposuction is a versatile, minimally invasive procedure that gives superior results. The procedure involves radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) for safe, gentle, and effective body contouring. It helps to reshape and tighten different areas of the body without the visible scars and prolonged downtime associated with traditional liposuction surgery.
Though BodyTite love handles liposuction is minimally-invasive and does not require extensive surgery or incisions, not everyone is a good candidate for the procedure. Generally, an ideal candidate for this procedure is a healthy person with troublesome areas of excess fat and skin in the flank area – that they want to be removed. They should also have moderate skin laxity, and be within 30% of their ideal weight.
The criteria that determine your candidature for BodyTite love handles liposuction in New York City are:
- You are a young, healthy person
- Have good quality skin and excess fat in the flanks that remains even after strenuous workouts and rigorous diets
- Are physically active and in good health
- Have slack, loose skin
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Are a non-smoker
The procedure is not recommended for:
- Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
- People with autoimmune diseases
- Those with skin diseases and/or infections
- Anyone with allergies to certain local anesthetics
The procedure treats deep fat, controls heating (so that large volume contraction is consistent), avoids over-treatment or under-treatment, and allows focused treatment of all large volume areas. Since only local anesthesia is used, the procedure lowers risks and promotes faster recovery. The outcome is a smooth, attractive and natural-looking physique.
A skilled surgeon can perform BodyTite liposuction on love handles to trim the waist effectively, and tone the muscles. The procedure begins with the plastic surgeon marking the area to be treated. He/she then administers local anesthesia and after the site is numbed, a tiny incision is made to insert the BodyTite hand piece to perform the procedure. The device has two probes that work simultaneously to heat the treatment area and melt the fat safely, while the temperature is controlled by the radiofrequency technology. The melted fat is safely removed from the body. The heat generated tightens the skin quickly and provides a toned look, and the plastic surgeon sculpts the flanks to the ideal shape.
BodyTite love handles liposuction gives many benefits, but like any other body contouring procedure, it also poses minor and temporary side effects such as mild bruising and swelling. This discomfort can be managed with the medications prescribed by the surgeon. Most patients achieve full recovery in a couple of days and usually return to work the next day.
Results are patient specific, and depending on the treatment area and amount of fat removed, the results vary. For instance, larger areas will require a longer recovery time. The best results are noticeable after 6-12 weeks, while the initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure.
