to Liposuction
Are you struggling with stubborn fat around your waist, or “love handles”?
At Breast & Body Clinic, we specialise in helping people rediscover their waistlines with love handle liposuction in Manchester. Our professional and friendly team is here to help you achieve the trim, toned waist you desire!
What is a love handle liposuction procedure?
A love handle lipo is a cosmetic, minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fat cells from the sides and back of your waist, commonly known as love handles. Our skilled surgeon uses advanced techniques to target and eliminate these stubborn body fat pockets, reshaping your waistline and creating a balanced and toned figure.
Why have love handle liposuction in Manchester?
If you are finding that a healthy diet and exercise have not shifted those love handles, then a fat removal procedure like liposuction may help. You can attain your desired body shape, enhancing your self-confidence, without more extensive surgery (like a tummy tuck).
What are the benefits of love handle lipo?
This popular fat removal procedure has several benefits for patients:
- Target fat removal: Love handle liposuction specifically targets and removes unwanted fat cells from the waist area.
- Minimally invasive: The small incision used in lipo means minimal scarring and a faster recovery than with a more invasive procedure.
- Improved body proportions: By eliminating excess fat from your waistline, lipo can restore balance and proportion that enhance your overall body contours.
- Boosted self-confidence: achieving a slimmer waistline and a figure you have dreams of can help you feel more comfortable and attractive in your own skin.
Am I a good candidate to have lipo on my love handles?
A love handle lipo is suitable for anyone who is in good overall health, has realistic expectations, and understands that this is not a weight loss procedure. If you are close to your ideal body weight and, despite a healthy lifestyle, have been unable to shift stubborn fat from body areas like your waistline, you are a good candidate.

What is the process for getting rid of love handles with liposuction?
At Breast and Body Clinic, a love handle cosmetic procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. They use the latest techniques and technology to achieve optimal results for you.
Consultation and pre-surgery
Before the body-sculpting waistline liposuction, patients have an initial consultation with a surgeon to discuss their goals and expectations. The surgeon will conduct an examination and talk you through what to expect from the procedure, pre-and post-operative instructions, and long-term outcomes.
The procedure
You will usually have a local anaesthetic with light sedation or a general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will discuss this with you at your first appointment.
Your plastic surgeon may use several different techniques to remove stubborn fat deposits from your waist:
- Traditional liposuction uses small incisions to insert a thin cannula, which is then used to remove the excess fat cells.
- A Vaser liposuction procedure uses ultrasound waves to precisely target fat cells. The Vaser lipo melts these cells before using a thin cannula to suck out the liquified fatty deposits.
- MicroAir liposuction uses a small cannula that vibrates, breaking down fat cells with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue.
- In some cases, we may combine traditional or laser liposuction with a tummy tuck. This removes loose skin and excess fat from your abdomen and waist for a more reconstructive surgery-style procedure.
During your first consultation, your surgeon will discuss with you the different techniques and which will be the best course of treatment to eliminate unwanted fat and achieve beautiful body contouring around your waistline.
Recovery and after-care
Once the sedation and local anaesthetic have worn off, you may experience some discomfort. Our surgeons will ensure you have adequate pain relief and will advise you to wear a compression garment to help with swelling, support the treated area, and aid in healing during your recovery process.
You should also rest and avoid strenuous activity until your surgeon tells you otherwise. You will have a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery and healing.
Are there risks or complications with a love handle lipo procedure?
As with any surgical procedure, love handle liposuction carries some possible risks. During your consultation, we will discuss the potential risks and address any concerns you may have to ensure your peace of mind. For traditional or Vaser liposuction, the potential risks and complications are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Fluid accumulation (seroma)
- Numbness or tingling
- Uneven, lumpy skin
- Bruising
- Scarring
A tummy tuck can come with other risk factors that should be discussed at the time of your surgical booking.

FAQs
Still have questions about a love handle liposuction? Find commonly asked questions and their answers below:
Does liposuction get rid of love handles?
Yes, liposuction is an effective way to eliminate love handles. During the procedure, unwanted fat deposits around the waistline are carefully removed, resulting in a trimmer and more sculpted appearance.
Does Lipo 360 get rid of love handles?
Absolutely! Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction technique that targets fat deposits around the entire midsection, including the love handles, your back, hips, and abdomen. It provides a 360-degree approach to sculpting the entire torso and achieving a slimmer physique.
What is the best procedure to lose love handles?
Liposuction, particularly love handle liposuction, is considered one of the most effective procedures to get rid of that extra layer of padding around your waist.
What is the procedure like?
During a love handle liposuction procedure, small incisions are made near the targeted areas. Traditional methods of liposuction use a thin tube, called a cannula, to gently suction out the fat. Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break down and then remove the liquified fat.
How long does the procedure take?
The lipo to remove your love handles can take anywhere from one to five hours. Your surgeon will discuss this with you at your first appointment so you understand what to expect on the day of your surgery.
How many treatments do I need?
In most cases, a single treatment is sufficient to address your love handles effectively. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during your first consultation.
How much fat can actually be removed?
The current guidelines by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommend a maximum of 5 litres be removed safely. This equates to approximately 5 kilogrammes or 10 pounds of fat removed from your body.
What does the recovery involve?
Recovery from love handle liposuction typically involves wearing a compression garment to minimise swelling and support the healing process. You may experience some bruising and discomfort initially, but these symptoms gradually subside with time, recovery, and pain relief medication. Following your surgeon’s postoperative instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.
How long do I need to wear the compression garment after having liposuction surgery to remove love handles?
You will generally be advised to wear a compression garment for several weeks after cosmetic surgery. This helps reduce swelling, provides support to the treated area, and promotes optimal healing.
How long does it take for results to be visible?
While initial results may be visible shortly after the procedure, it takes time for the swelling to fully resolve and for the final results to emerge. Typically, it can take several weeks to a few months for the full results to be noticeable.
Will I need to follow a special diet or exercise regimen after love handle liposuction?
Following a balanced, nutritious diet and maintaining an active lifestyle is important for overall health and well-being. While you may not require a special diet or exercise regimen after liposuction, it is beneficial to adopt healthy habits to maintain and enhance your results.
When can I exercise after liposuction surgery to remove love handles?
Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on when it is safe to resume exercise after love handle liposuction. For the first few weeks, you will need to avoid strenuous activities and exercise. However, once given the all-clear, you can start to incorporate light exercise and build up to your regular routine.
Can my love handle return after liposuction treatment?
The fat is permanently removed during liposuction and won’t return. However, to prevent the remaining cells from enlarging and negatively impacting your results, it is best to avoid significant weight gain and maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
