I want to have Liposuction on my love handles, but I have been fat most of my life. I am scared to waste my money with little or no results from Lipo on my flanks. This will be in conjunction with a tummy tuck. What will happen if my skin doesn't tighten after the procedure?

Answer: Skin Shrinking after Liposuction Think of Liposuction as removing potatoes from a sack of potatoes. The "sack" of skin remains excessive and may sag or droop because of the lack of elasticity. Liposuction is actually only a volume reducing technique. Some of the adjuncts such as ultrasonic and laser energy can enhance the shrinkage of skin by stimulating collagen in the deep dermis. There is a new technique for reducing love handles non-invasively with a cold laser and I do have a few non invasive topical treatments for subtle enhancement of skin elasticity and snap back, however, if this is not sufficient, then you may have to consider a surgical resection of the loose skin as a last resort.
