Elevate Your Appearance with Flank Liposuction Surgery

Flank liposuction, also known as love handle removal, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the flanks and abdomen, resulting in a more contoured and toned appearance. Whether you're dealing with stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise or looking to improve the contour of your waist, this procedure can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Meegan Gruber, a renowned board certified plastic surgeon at Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, specializes in performing awake flank liposuction procedures to help you achieve a slimmer, firmer body contour. This surgical procedure uses advanced techniques to target and remove excess fat, ensuring long-lasting results. During the flank liposuction surgery, small incisions are made in the lower abdomen and flanks to remove excess fat, and tumescent liposuction or power-assisted liposuction may be used to contour the body further. The procedure can be done awake using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference. Following surgery, patients can expect a recovery time that allows them to return to work and daily activities within a few days, with full recovery and final results visible after a few months. Dr. Gruber's expertise ensures personalized care and optimal body contouring results.
