Has anyone had surgery to remove the excess skin from their back (love handles)?

I am over two years postop from wls and 3 months postop from my tummy tuck. I have severe excess skin on my back (love handles) that my PS said would have to be done in a separate surgery next year. He told me that if I lost the last 20 lbs. I wanted to lose it might help this area otherwise I would need surgery to fix this area. I don't think he has preformed a surgery like this, so I definately would like to meet with other PS to get their opinions.<p> Has anyone had this specific area operated on? I was told a breast reduction and lift might help also. I am trying to find out what my options are before I make a decision on what to do. This is the only thing that really bothers me now that my sagging belly is gone. <p>I am assuming that my insurance won't cover this and surgery really isn't in the budget so I am trying to find out if there is a low cost alternative. If you did have surgery, what did it cost? Any input would be appreciated.
