I had a tummy tuck 2 years ago. Now I have large love handles that will not go away with exercise. The skin is loose. What type of procedure would be best to correct this?

Answer: Treating Circumferential Tissue Excess I recommend a buttock lift as the second stage correction for the tissue excess your pictures highlight. The scar from the correction of your backside will join the ends of you existing the tummy tuck scar and can be a powerful way to reshape the entire lower body. When performed as a single stage the circumferential correction is sometimes called a "belt lipectomy" or "lower body lift". I find liposuction is ALWAYS a helpful adjunct in cases like these and would recommend it as well. Dr. Brandon Lambiris Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon–Sarasota, FL

Answer: Flanks after tummy tuck Your best option would be to have a lower back lift with liposuction and laterally extended incisions that meet your abdominoplasty scar.
