Hip & Flank Liposuction
Hip and flank liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery designed to sculpt away excess fat from the hips, flanks, and pubis area. This procedure leaves patients with their ideal waistline. Clothing will better fit your toned, contoured figure, and the fat removal process may even help you drop several sizes! Schedule a consultation at North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center today to learn if a hip and flank liposuction procedure is right for you.
Who is a Good Candidate For Hip & Flank Liposuction Surgery?
Hip and flank liposuction eliminates unwanted fat stored in the hips.
Ideal candidates for hip and waist liposuction are:
- At a healthy body weight
- Non-smokers
- Not on any blood-thinning medications
- Those with love handles, muffin tops, and saddlebags
What To Expect
Hip and flank liposuction provides patients with redefined curves, a smaller waist, and plumper, rounded, and more youthful buttocks. During a consultation with Dr. David Mateo de Acosta, we can determine the best way to achieve your desired results. On the day of your surgery, small incisions will be made on the treatment area. A thin tube known as a cannula is then inserted through these incisions to dislodge fat cells. Unwanted fat is then vacuumed from under the skin and through the tube. Once the fat is extracted, dissolvable stitches are then used to close the incisions. You should plan to have a trusted caregiver drive you home following the procedure.
Hip Liposuction Recovery
After hip liposuction surgery, it is required for patients to wear a compression garment during recovery. This garment helps to minimize swelling and hold the shape of your new contour. Patients should be able to return to work within a few days.
