The Real Reason You’re Thinking About Surgery

Struggling with your side profile? You’re not alone.

Stubborn Love Handles

No matter how much weight you lose, fat at the sides just won’t shift.

Bulky Waistline

You want a more defined torso, but the flanks always disrupt your proportions.

Low Body Confidence

You avoid tighter tops or certain angles because of how your waist appears.

Frustrated With The Gym

You’ve trained hard, but results plateaued — and your silhouette still feels soft.

What Is Flanks Liposuction Surgery?

Flanks liposuction is a contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat from the sides of the waist — commonly known as ‘love handles’. It targets the area between the lower ribs and hips to reshape the waist and improve body proportions.

At UKSKIN, this procedure is typically done under local anaesthetic using VASER liposuction, with or without Renuvion skin tightening depending on your needs. It’s a walk-in, walk-out surgery with minimal downtime and powerful results.

The Benefits Of Flanks Liposuction Surgery

Reshaped Waistline

Achieve a more tapered torso and cleaner silhouette from every angle.

Defined Love Handle Removal

Get rid of stubborn side fat that doesn’t respond to exercise.

Day Case Procedure

Done under local anaesthetic — no hospital stay required.

Optional Skin Tightening

Renuvion can be used to tighten skin if needed for a firmer finish.
