Love handles after tummy tuck. How can I remove love handles? (photos)

Skin laxity does not magically end with the TT in many patients. The love handles can be liposuctioned while blending the liposuction into the abdomen to prevent irregularity and give you a waist line. After your incisions healed, you could have used silicone sheets, Mederma, and Biocorneum to make scarring less noticeable. The biggest determinant of how a patient’s scars will heal is their DNA and how they have healed in the past. Although scars will never disappear, they will fade over a period of time.

Scars need aerify, enlighten, or Cosmelan peels post surgery. Vivatia foam, Restorsea 10x, skinceuticals phyto +, Cosmelan 2 cream, and reve skin fortified bleaching cream all help. Scars can be punch out and removed in the office.

no medical insurance covers keloid removal. you have a chance of recurrence with surgical removal but lasers can help reduce the look.

the love handles arent really love handles they are skin that you can use trusculpt or coolsculpting on. this is more your body shape than anything but more liposuction could there are many options for hypertrophic/red/discolored scars:
1. vascular lasers (yellow laser, vbeam, excel v)
2. fractional lasers (fraxel, erbium, co2)
3. microneedling/PRP
4. silicone based scar gels with growth factors
5. excision +/- radiation
