Since my surgeries I have had a very difficult time reducing these "love handles". Because of the large DIEP flap incision, doing the normal ab exercises I once did, is difficult. Its hard enough knowing I endured breast cancer and beat it and while I should be great-ful, having this fat getting more and more visual is keeping me from being comfortable in my own skin. Would I be a candidate for contouring? Size 16 now. Was a 12 before surgery.
