Liposuction continues to rise in popularity as one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries nationwide. The fat reducing procedure is used to treat resistant areas of fatty tissue that no amount of diet or exercise has seemed to help.* But when it comes to the best place for liposuction, is there one target spot that rises above the rest?
Love Handle Lipo
Perhaps simply because so many men and women have lingering deposits of fat around the abdominal area, liposuction is most commonly associated with the midsection. If you’ve got love handles, a belly bulge, or a layer of fat insulating your six-pack, liposuction may be an option for you.*
Liposuction also plays an important role in mommy makeovers. During a mommy makeover, liposuction can be combined with a tummy tuck for added midsection contouring. However, liposuction can deliver impressive results in far more target spots than just around the tummy.*
Lipo Can Be Used Virtually Anywhere
What may surprise many liposuction candidates is that liposuction can be used virtually anywhere on the body. Liposuction can be used to treat “cankles,” to reduce double chins, to slim down the upper arms, and even to help reduce male breasts.* In fact, one of the primary reasons liposuction is so popular is its versatility.
When it comes to body contouring, liposuction is not only for your love handles. Pesky pockets of subcutaneous fat can become lodged in surprising places, and when they do, liposuction just might provide a solution.*
