Would a tummy tuck reduce my love handles. (photos)

Liposuction of the flanks or love handles can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. Also, depending upon where your surgeon places the incision will also help address the flank areas.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations. 

Thank you very much for your question and your photographs. A tummy tuck will eliminate excess skin and fat along the abdomen, but it will not address your love handles, or flanks. However, it is common to combine liposuction with an abdominoplasty for optimal body contouring results. The combination of these two techniques can smooth your stomach and eliminate your love handles. Schedule an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your tummy tuck options. 

I normally perform liposuction during a tummy tuck when necessary. You should ask your surgeon if they do as well. I find it really helps in achieving a nicer result. A tummy tuck would definitely improve your love handles, and liposuction would further enhance the contour of the area.

all plastic surgeons are adept at liposuction which should be added to your abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. See a board certified ASAPS plastic surgeon in consultation. The flanks need to be addressed by an extended tummy tuck with liposuction of your flanks for best possible outcome. Good luck...

Thanks for the question. In this regard, I'm totally agree with you, therefore i recommend you a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).Kind regards

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. 
This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the
bikini line.  Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  Liposuction of your flanks can help give you an hourglass shape.   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.
