Almost everyone experiences the difficulty of reducing the size of their love handles. Men and women alike tend to form stubborn fatty deposit on their waists that may not respond to a healthy diet and good exercise routine.

Both men and women who have difficulty toning their love handles schedule consultations with a cosmetic surgeon to discuss their problem areas and the possible solutions for love handles. A cosmetic surgeon will discuss your goals for sculpting your body and answer all of your questions about the different solutions available to you. The cosmetic surgeon you choose should be knowledgeable and experienced in helping patients get rid of their love handles.

Three main love handle solutions are:

·       Tummy Tuck

·       Liposuction

·       Combing Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

Tummy Tuck

Some patients wish to remove fat and excess skin from around their waistline. The best cosmetic surgery procedure to accomplish this task is a tummy tuck. The purpose of a tummy tuck is to:

·       Remove fat and skin from around the abdomen and waist

·       Sculpt the waistline and enhance the body's natural contour

·       Tighten the muscles in the abdomen

The results of a tummy tuck are a smoother waistline and flatter abdomen. A tummy tuck fixes the problem of love handles. Your clothes will fit nicer and you will have more confidence wearing whatever you choose.

Liposuction

For patients who do not have excess skin and only need their body sculpted with fat removal, liposuction is a great choice for removing love handles. Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that can be performed almost anywhere on the the body. One of the more common places to have liposuction performed is on the abdomen.

A variation of liposuction called ultrasonic liposuction precisely removes fatty deposits and beautifully sculpts the abdomen removing love handles from the waistline. Ultrasonic liposuction utilizes ultrasound and a special liquid that targets fat cells aiding in the easy removal of fatty tissue.

Combining Tummy Tuck with Liposuction

For men and women who wish to have excess skin and fat removed with precise sculpting tend to have a tummy tuck with liposuction. Combining a tummy tuck with liposuction gives the best results in body contouring and removing love handles. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and fat from the main areas of the waistline while liposuction refines the results and enhances the figure.
