Not done having children yet. What would my options be to treat my love handles and pubic fat area? (Photo)

Thank you for your question regarding what are your best options to treat your love handles and pubic region and the fact that you are not done having children yet, and you are not ready for a tummy tuck. You and I agree that your best results would be with a tummy tuck and liposuction of your flanks and love handles. If you want to have liposuction now, you can. However, you will be left with loose skin. The loose skin is evident because you already have stretch marks, and if aggressive liposuction is performed, the skin will not retract. Therefore, your options are liposuction of the bra roll, pubic region, and love handles with a high risk of skin irregularities and loose skin. Wait until you're done having children and have a definitive tummy tuck with liposuction of these areas. It is entirely up to you, but I would wait. I agree with your other plastic surgeon who says liposuction would make these areas worse, not better. Thank you for your excellent, and I've hoped I answered your question regarding your best options to treat your love handles and pubic region and the fact that you are not done having children yet, and you are not ready for a tummy tuck.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thank you for your question. Even though you may have plans to get pregnant down, the road, liposuction is an option. Life360 can be done to help improve contour of your Admin waist, upper and lower back. I might also suggest using some of that fat to fill in the flat spots on the sides of your hip any of the buttock area. Well pregnancy may ultimately cause your body to gain weight and some areas. The general shape created by liposuction will be preserved and then if you’re done having kids, a tummy tuck would be a nice way to restore the shape and contour of your abdomen. Good luck on your body contouring journey.

From your photos it appears you could address the hip/flank area with liposuction now even though you intend to have more children. Then when your family is complete you can consider the tummy tuck and add touch up liposuction if further contouring is needed after pregnancy.

Based on these photos, combination of liposuction and abdominoplastyy should be procedure of choice. However, if you do not want to dod abdominoplasty, liposuction of torso, 360, is next optipon. Good luck.

At a minimum, I think you’d look great with liposculpting of the waist, flanks, love handles, hips, and back. The front of your abdomen could be addressed at the same time for a 360 approach. Regarding the front of your abdomen, although lipo isn’t skin removal, i shoot for a smaller version of what you see now. I do theses all the time for women just like you that aren’t ready for a tummy tuck. Fly out to see us for a few days. Fly back without the love handles.
