Exaggerated love handles after Diep Flap, what can be done? (photo)

These areas are commonly referred to as 'dog ears'. A dog ear revision could be performed to treat these areas. This would involve surgical removal of the skin and underlying fat. This could be combine with liposuction of the waist to improve contour.

Hello, in my opinion, the picture appears to show what is known as "dog ears" or excess skin and tissue at the ends of a surgical incision. This can be commonly been treated under local anesthesia with a "dog ear excision" procedure. I would encourage you to seek an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

What you have is an extra fold of skin that has puckered because of the tightness of the abdominal skin closure after removing the tissue used for breast reconstruction. It occurs because the skin beyond the end of the scar is looser than skin along the scar itself, creating a mound of excess skin where the incision ends. Commonly this is referred to in Plastic Surgery as a dog ear.
If the area doesn't settle down after the body has healed from surgery and all the surgical swelling has resolved, it can be treated. It can be treated with liposuction to remove the fat in the area, or skin excision if there is still too much skin. Often both are required. I would not recommend treating the area before at least 6 months after surgery, often it is worthwhile to wait a full year.
