Liposuction and Maximum Waist Reduction
First, you will need the maximum of 5 liters removed from around the waist. I can usually get at least a 4 inch reduction. In some, I can get 6 inches or slightly more. 9 inches is probably not possible but 7 may be. This is impossible to answer without an exam.

Liposuction Can Help You Lose SOME of Your Waist
Greetings,

Liposuction can contour and produce a smaller waistline but, to achieve your goal, weight loss would be necessary. Before you undergo the procedure, see how much weight you can lose and how that affects your waistline.

Liposuction Inches
I feel it is impossible to guarantee a given number of inches in any given procedure and patient. You will lose inches and likely more than 5 but the rest is up to you. For ideal results, I ask patients to reflect the weight we take when they step on the scale in 2 months post operation. Then I ask patient to match what we took in 6 months If they start at 170 lbs and we take 10 lbs I want them to be 150 at 6 months post operation. They...
