Flank Liposuction
So called love handles, flanks are located just above the crest of the hip bone or simply the waist of a woman. This area of the female figure is often tartgeted for liposuction. Best candidates for this are women who are slightly overweight but are still in good health condition.
Most patients who have gone through liposuction on flanks said they saw a noticeable difference in the shape of their bodies quite soon after surgery. Improvement is also said to become more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling usually disappears and the final contour will be visible. By this time, the patient should have completely recovered from the surgery.
Liposuction of the flanks has become a famous solution for people who are having a hard time getting rid of fat bulges. The results generally last a long time and most patients are amazed with before and after results. This seemingly effortless alternative in losing body fat can do wonders for your body. However, one should also have reasonable expectations because this surgery is not designed to achieve a perfect body.
Stick with your ideal weight because removing fat in substantial amounts may lead to health risks. Some studies even show that gaining more weight is more likely to happen if the operation is done inappropriately. Of course, there are other factors that play into the amount of weight you actually gain or lose after the procedure. Mainly, this will be determined by your eating and exercising habits (which might have been the problem in the first place).
Furthermore, make sure you listen to your doctor (and you consult him or her first) before you decide to undergo any type of procedure, and if you have any doubts get a second or even a third opinion.
