FOREGO THE LIPO — TAKE THE PROVEN ROUTE

LOVE HANDLE AIRSCULPT®

When it comes to stubborn fat, the hips seem to have a certain annoying tendency to accumulate a few extra pounds. Often also referred to as love handles or muffin tops, pockets of excess flank fat are among the most common issues patients have to deal with. Let’s be honest — who doesn’t have a bit of extra pinchable flab on their hips? Not only can love handles develop due to weight gain or genetics, but factors such as aging, pregnancy, and hormones can also play a role in aiding their development. To permanently remove this type of fat, your surgeon will use AirSculpt® technology to dramatically, yet gently sculpt your flanks. We never use something as risky as general anesthesia, and our patented technology enables you to heal far more quickly than you would following hip liposuction. AirSculpt® offers the added benefit of skin tightening, allowing us to sculpt toned results that accentuate the flank’s natural elasticity. Give us a call to take your first step toward getting rid of your muffin top and achieving a svelte physique!
