Love Handle Liposuction in NYC

Love handle liposuction in NYC with Dr. Leonard Grossman removes stubborn flank fat using The Smarter Liposuction, his own protocol: tumescent local anesthesia, fine microcannulas, no stitches and a final check with you standing at a mirror. Because he does not use compression garments, recovery is simple, and most patients are back at work the next day and exercising within three days. Surgery takes place at his Brooklyn surgery center.

Our Love Handle Liposuction Services

Waist contouring built around flank liposuction, with options to add abdominal definition.

Liposuction

Flank and waist liposuction with power-assisted microcannulas under tumescent local anesthesia, with or without light IV sedation. No stitches or compression garments are needed afterward, and most patients are back at work the next day.

Smart Lipo

Patients often ask for Smart Lipo by name. After years of experience with laser liposuction, Dr. Grossman moved away from it in favor of microcannula liposuction, which he finds more precise and predictable for the flanks.

Abdominal Etching

Lipoetching, which Dr. Grossman developed and named in 1995 per his practice, carves fat along the abdominal muscles. Paired with love handle liposuction, it creates a defined, athletic midsection.

The Smarter Liposuction

Create A More Balanced Waist Contour

Love handle liposuction with Dr. Grossman starts in a warm operating room with tumescent local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia. How much fat comes out of each side, and whether the hip rolls or lower back are blended in, depends on your anatomy; most people are not perfectly symmetric to begin with. He works through tiny openings with fine cannulas that leave minimal scarring, then has you stand at the mirror so both sides can be checked and refined for symmetry. Afterward you can shower, go out for a meal and, like most patients, return to work the next day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is liposuction for just love handles?

Flank liposuction is priced very differently from one city or practice to another, so a quoted figure from elsewhere is not a reliable guide. Dr. Grossman gives a personalized quote after examining your flanks, since the price depends on how much fat is there, whether the hips or back rolls are treated at the same time and how much sculpting the area needs. The surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, the operating facility, staff and every follow-up exam are all part of that one quote. Financing options are available, including Cherry and Prosper Healthcare Lending.
