Tampa Love Handle Lipo

Tumescent Liposuction is a Sure Solution!

Love handles - while they boast an endearing name, those who have them can almost certainly agree that they don’t exactly engender warm feelings of affection. In fact, the love handle and flank region is one of the most common problem areas for both men and women. Even people with flat stomachs and fitness models with very little body fat can have an inch to pinch in this area. For many people it’s the last place for fat to disappear from. The fat in this area is especially stubborn and often does not respond well to diet and exercise. In a large number of cases, accumulation of excess fat in this area is hereditary or an inherited component, while for others, the condition can be exacerbated by a mild to moderate degree of obesity.

Depending on your genetic mapping, your body may tend to deposit more fat cells in the abdomen and flank region as opposed to distributing it evenly throughout the body. If you are under a significant amount of stress, your body will also produce an added stress hormone, known as cortisol. This bodily reaction is a primitive, hard-wired response that prepares the body for fight or flight in the face of a perceived threat. When we face very real dangers, this reaction is invaluable. However, now that saber-tooth tigers are no longer a threat, this reaction isn’t quite as vital to our survival, yet the body continues to produce this hormone in response to every day stresses we face at work and in daily life. The problem is that remaining in this state for a prolonged amount of time can affect our metabolism, causing us to experience above average weight gain, with a proclivity to store this excess fat in the abdominal region.

This buildup of fat around the midsection and flanks creates what’s commonly known as the infamous “muffin-top” look, where fat rolls over the waistband and hangs over the sides of the pants. This area is technically known as the oblique muscles region, however, no matter how much you work out these muscles, the results of all those side crunches will be hidden beneath this pesky layer of fat. Unfortunately, there is no method to spot reduce love handles or any other fat storage zones on the body for that matter.

In these problem areas where diet and exercise have failed to be effective, body contouring may be the answer. Love handle liposuction is one of the most aesthetically rewarding body contouring procedures. The flank region can be easily treated and sculpted using tumescent liposuction, and so long as significant weight gain does not occur, the results are permanent. Tampa love handle lipo is an effective solution to achieving the slimmer, tighter silhouette you’ve been longing for. Imagine how it will feel to no longer have to hop around your bedroom in the mornings, struggling to get that last button on your jeans to comply. Lipo of the flanks region will reduce the fatty deposits that have built up along your waist, flanks and love handles, restoring an attractive, tapered waistline and look of proportionality to your physique.
