What’s a Flank?
Flanks or love handles refer to the area that extends outward from the hips, or excess fat accumulation around the hips and the abdominal area. This area is quite susceptible to developing localized fatty deposits. Major factors that contribute to love handle formation include belly fat accumulation due to age, hormones, lack of physical activity, diet high in fats and sugars, sleep deprivation or even undiagnosed or untreated conditions that slow down metabolism.
Love handles is a common aesthetic concern for men and women. If exercise and diet do not work to get rid of this concern, liposuction on love handles in Manhattan could be a perfect solution.
