Flanks Liposuction in London
Flanks liposuction in London refines the waist-to-hip silhouette by removing the soft pockets of fat — often called "love handles" — that sit above the hipbone. Treated under local anaesthetic with Power-Assisted Liposuction, the result is a smoother transition from torso to hips.

Flanks liposuction in London — a defined waistline
Flank fat is highly resistant to lifestyle interventions and tends to sit just above the iliac crest. Removing it allows the natural curve of the waist to emerge and creates a more proportionate hip-to-waist ratio.
How the procedure is performed
Two or three pinpoint incisions are made on each flank. Tumescent local anaesthetic is infiltrated before a PAL cannula is used to gently emulsify and remove fat in even passes — feathering into adjacent areas to avoid visible transitions.
Recovery and aftercare
A compression garment is worn for several weeks to manage swelling and encourage smooth skin retraction. Most patients are back at a desk job within two to five days.
