Will a lower body lift get rid of my love handles?

March 8, 2018
Asked By:AfterMassiveWeightLoss in Texas, TX

I'm 5'7' 162lbs, down from 315. I've maintained for 7 yrs. In 2011 I had an extended tummy tuck, breast lift & aug. I'd like to complete the lower body lift to get rid of the love handles & lift my butt & outer thighs (will do inner thighs later). But after talking to a PS, it sounds like a LBL won't get rid of my love handles. Should I do the LBL and then do lipo for the love handles? or is there another approach? Can the incision just be higher to get the love handles too?
