I had an extended tummy tuck 2 years ago. Now i gained a bit more weight than i used to, and all the fat is going right above the surgery scars. Especially the back. My upper body looks fine but my lower back has these 2 stored fats on the sides which I'm trying to burn these fat away but i can't. Any suggestions?
Answer: Weight gain unrelated but distribution could be predictable Following a tummy tuck,where the front and sides of the abdomen are addressed most patients continue to get improvement in their body shape. This is contingent on maintaining body weight and a reasonable activity / diet program. However, different stresses can happen in life and a weight gain could happen. In this case the most of the excess gets distributed in other areas first followed by abdominoplasty areas. This is merely a clinical observation. The usual treatment is to get back to normal weight and /or liposuction. Hope that helps.

Answer: Back Fat
I refer to this flank fat as the "human's camel hump." It's a storage area and typically the most difficult fat to lose. I've found that even my patients that work-out like crazy and have the best diet have difficulty losing this fat. This is especially true after age 40. So your solutions are liposuction, which will allow the fat to really be cleaned out or CoolSculpting which is an excellent non-invasive method of fat reduction.
