Love Handle Removal Sydney
The 'love handles', also known as the ‘’muffin top’’, is a very common area for stubborn fat to accumulate and can be a difficult spot to tone and shape.
So if you’re struggling to reduce those bulges of fat on your hips you should consider love handle removal. Sydney residents can count on the experts at ICCM to help slim their lower bodies.
These areas can resist exercise and diet which is why love handle liposuction is such a popular procedure in Sydney. It targets these areas with proven and effective results, to create a body shape you can be proud of and confident in.
The love handles can be a very difficult area to target with exercise and diet, which is why ICCM offers love handle liposuction to help remove those stubborn areas of fat.
What is involved with love handle lipo?
When it comes to effective cosmetic medical procedures that do not require a lot of downtimes, love handle lipo is regularly requested. Those looking to sculpt and tone their body shape can permanently remove the love handle bulges for a smoother body contour.
Slightly different from traditional liposuction, we offer this process as a less invasive alternative that does not require a general anaesthetic. Instead, we use local anaesthesia which is injected into the area, creating a much more comfortable removal process, with the added benefit of less required downtime.
What causes love handles?
Love handles develop slowly over time and are often due to the accumulation of body fat as a result of consuming excess calories and a lack of exercise. The body produces more fat than it can burn and so fatty bulges appear in certain areas. However, there are a number of other causes of love handles:
- High cortisol level
- Aging
- Unhealthy diet
- Lack of sleep
- Lack of exercise
- Alcohol
- Genetics
- Medical conditions
Fat cells can be permanently removed from the love handle area with liposuction.
What are the benefits of this method of love handle liposculpture?
We use the latest love handle lipo techniques for fat removal so that you can return to your normal routine as quickly as possible. Many people refrain from considering cosmetic surgery solutions as they think it will create too large of a dent in their schedule. Those bothered by stubborn fat on their back now have access to a removal option that means minimal downtime and less bruising.
Love handle liposuction offers the following benefits:
- Fat cells are treated with state-of-the-art ultrasound energy to facilitate the removal
- A small incision site through which a thin cannula is inserted, lowering the risk of removing too much fat
- A process that gives the doctor more control to create better results
- A minimal chance of scarring with lower recovery times
- The use of a local anaesthetic involves less chance of an adverse reaction
- Increased skin tightening due to the stimulation of collagen during the procedure
Fat cells can be permanently removed from the love handle area with liposuction.
Any bruising from the procedure will disappear after two to three weeks.
What are the risks of a love handle liposculpture?
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks but as our technique for love handle lipo is minimally invasive, it’s considered quite safe. The most significant risk is having too much fat taken from the treatment area. However, when performed by an experienced, appropriately qualified health practitioner, this is extremely unlikely to happen.

During the procedure, fatty deposits are removed by thin cannulas that have been inserted into the desired area.
What can I expect during this procedure?
We use the latest technology (VASER) for our love handle liposuction surgery. During the procedure, the treated area is first filled with a medicated solution. The fat cells are then targeted with state-of-the-art ultrasound energy before being removed from the body through a gentle suction process.
Thin, hollow tubes known as cannulas, are inserted below the skin through tiny incisions. They are then used to break apart and vacuum out unwanted fat. The incisions are made in the body’s natural folds (when possible), in order to minimise the appearance of any resulting scarring.
How to maintain your new look?
Even though the excess fat that’s targeted during love handle lipo is removed permanently, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle. In order to keep your new look, you need to ensure you eat well and do regular exercise.
