Tummy tuck on July 17th, 2015. Tough recovery, but now everything is OK, except for the love handles that are appearing on each side. I can grasp them. I am 147 pounds and 5 ft. 9 in. I am in good shape. What do i do?

Answer: Love handles after tummy tuck Hello, you might still find that the contour at the end of your tummy tuck incision improves over time. However, if the areas of concern are not related to your original surgery, you could consider non-surgical options that remove fat (SculpSure, Coolsculpting, etc), liposuction, or further excision of skin and fatty tissue. These are all options that could be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Had a tummy tuck 4 months ago. I now have 2 love handles, one on each side. What do i do? Sorry this has happened to you!! This is what is most commonly known as a dogear. What this means is that the tummy tuck scar needed to be longer to remove the extra skin. Liposuction unfortunately will not fix this problem. You would need a revision to this! This is best performed by a plastic surgeon. Good luck!
