Are my remaining love handles made up of muscle or fat? Can I get rid of them? (photo)

Based on your photo, it looks like there are still pockets of residual fat. A good way to check if it is fat or muscle is by pinching test. If you can pinch the tissue, it is likely fat.
If it is fat, then revision vaser liposuction will be appropriate.

Thank you for your question regarding whether your remaining love handles are made up of muscle or fat and if you can get rid of them. Thank you for your history and your pictures. In examining your pictures, I believe your love handles are made up of muscle. It doesn't appear that you have much fat in this area. Mainly if your doctor has performed VASER liposuction and says your love handles are made of muscle, if they are made of muscle, I would not suggest removing them. You need those muscles to keep your intestines and other organs in place. Regarding your body shape, you may consider further liposuction of your hips or possibly fat transfer or hip implants to get you more of an hourglass figure. You may also consider injections of Sculptra to grow areas of soft tissue. Please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck. I hope my answer helps to answer your question regarding whether your remaining love handles are made up of muscle or fat and if you can get rid of them.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

The love handles seen in the photo can almost definitely be improved with additional liposuction. I would consider finding a different surgeon. Also, while Vaser is a nice tool, it wouldn't be necessary to give you a better result.
