I had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and now have developed some love handles around the rib areas. They were not there at 1-2 weeks post op. I am currently wearing a spanx garment around the clock--a large one up to the bra line. Will these handles go away on there own? Will they need to be removed with lipo? If so, How long before I can do the lipo? Please advise if this is usually a surgical correction. Thank You for any advice you can give!
