love handles

"They only gave me lipo in my stomach and my love handles and transferred it to my butt. I had to choose between a BBL or a tummy tuck," she recalled.

And so, bulge by bulge, lump by lump, my body grew all the infamous mounds and blobs our culture likes to invent insulting nicknames for: a muffin top, moobs and — most especially — love handles.

So, the Emsculpt might tone the stomach around the belly button, but can’t address love handles or the back — so she uses the Vanquish in those spots.

A size “advantage,” especially at heavyweight – where anything goes above 200 pounds – sometimes just translates to leaden feet and love handles.

So, no, the love handles you see on these pages, squishy as they are, don’t constitute a grand horror story, nor are they anything to be ashamed of.
