What is Flanks ?

Flanks, commonly known as love handles, refer to the excess fat deposits located on the sides of your waistline. Despite regular exercise and a healthy diet, this area often retains stubborn fat, making it difficult to achieve a contoured and toned appearance. Flank reduction treatments target these resistant fat pockets to enhance your body shape and boost confidence.

Causes of Flank Fat

Several factors contribute to fat accumulation around the flanks:

  • Genetics and body type
  • Hormonal changes
  • Poor diet and lifestyle habits
  • Lack of targeted exercise
  • Aging and reduced metabolism

Available Treatments for Flank Reduction

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

✅ Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing / CoolSculpting)
This advanced, non-invasive procedure freezes and destroys fat cells in the flanks. Over a few weeks, your body naturally eliminates these cells, resulting in a slimmer waistline without surgery or downtime.

✅ Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments
RF treatments use heat energy to break down fat cells while tightening the skin, enhancing your waist contour.

✅ Ultrasound Cavitation
Uses ultrasonic waves to target and reduce fat deposits in the flanks, promoting a smoother, toned appearance.

2. Surgical Treatments

✅ Liposuction
For more significant fat reduction, liposuction effectively removes excess fat from the flanks, providing immediate and dramatic results. It is performed under local or general anesthesia and requires a short recovery period.

Benefits of Flank Reduction Treatments

Is Flank Treatment Safe?

Yes, flank reduction treatments are safe and FDA-approved when performed by experienced professionals. Your provider will guide you through the process and discuss possible risks based on your health status.
