I'm skinny, so why do I have love handles? (Photo)

The love handle area tends to be one that is somewhat persistent despite being near your ideal weight. More diet and exercise may be helpful; I have certainly seen patients for liposuction to the flank area alone. I would consider some regular exercise and eating healthier and see what progress you can make. If, despite your best attempts, this is still a problem area, you could visit with a plastic surgeon to discuss your options. 

Best of luck!

Every body holds weight differently. Based on your picture, you would be a good candidate for liposuction. I recommend VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, and contouring. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-def physique expert. Non surgical options include coolsculpting, vanquish and a combination of those. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a
great candidate for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen and flanks.  This can greatly improve your overall shape with a
smaller waist.  Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and congratulations on your recent weight loss. Though nothing replaces an in-person examination if your love handles are diet resistant, liposuction would allow you a permanent fat reduction solution to help smooth the area to better match your remaining figure.  Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your goal results and explore the best treatment option.  Best wishes.

Congratulations on your weight loss.  It's not an easy thing to do.  Sometimes genetics plays an important part of where fat comes off of or stays on.  We all have our areas that seem to be the hardest to lose weight from.  You may want to adjust your lifestyle a little.  Try some exercise to speed up the metabolism and eat high fiber and protein rich foods.  You could do liposuction of that area but without a lifestyle change you may experience weight gain even after the surgery.  My suggestion is a little diet and exercise.  If that does not work, you can consider liposuction to your stubborn areas.  Best of luck!
