The Flank Liposuction Procedure
During the flank liposuction procedure, several key steps are followed to ensure the safe and effective removal of excess fatty tissue from the flanks:
Under anaesthesia (either general or local with sedation), small incisions are made.
A tumescent solution, a mix of saline, local anaesthetic, and adrenaline, is injected to reduce bleeding and discomfort.
Using a cannula connected to a suction device, the surgeon can remove fat, creating symmetrical and natural-looking results. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and post-operative care instructions are provided to support healing and reduce swelling
At HR Plastic Surgery, Mr Hyder Ridha will discuss the details of the procedure with you during your initial consultation to ensure that you fully understand the process and have realistic expectations for the results.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following the surgeon’s instructions will be important to ensure optimal recovery, which may include wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and provide support to the treated area.
Pain management techniques may be recommended, and it is important to keep the incision sites clean to minimise the risk of infection. Blood thinning medications may be prescribed for patients susceptible to blood clots.
Resting and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial recovery period is advised. It will be important to attend follow-up appointments that allow the surgeon to monitor progress and provide further guidance.
By following the recommended recovery and aftercare guidelines, patients can ensure a smoother recovery and enhance the outcome of their flank liposuction procedure.
After a love handle lipo procedure, it will be important to follow recovery instructions carefully to ensure the best outcome
Risks and Complications
- It is important to note that while the following risks exist, they are generally rare and can be minimised by selecting a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon and following the pre and post-operative instructions diligently.
Infection at the incision sites - Excessive bleeding
- Hematoma accumulation of blood beneath the skin)
- Seroma (accumulation of fluid beneath the skin)

On average, the cost can range from £3,000 to £6,000 or more. It is recommended to consult with a plastic surgery clinic to get an accurate quote based on your individual circumstances.
How painful is it to remove excess fat cells around the waist with flank liposuction?

Some discomfort and soreness can be expected during the recovery period, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. However, pain tolerance varies among individuals.
What is better for flank lipo ultrasound-assisted liposuction, traditional liposuction or Vaser liposuction?
Flanks liposuction procedures can be done with ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), traditional liposuction, or Vaser liposuction.
It will ultimately depend on individual factors and preferences. UAL utilises ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, traditional liposuction involves manual fat removal, and Vaser liposuction combines ultrasound technology with traditional liposuction.
The most suitable technique should be determined based on specific needs, desired results, and the advice of an experienced plastic surgeon. These techniques can also be used for other body contouring procedures.
