Liposculpture can reduce the waist into an "hour-glass" figure

Liposculpture and large volume liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and the lower back can very effectively reduce the waist line and creat a narrow waist with an hour-glass figure.

In part, you are limited by your anatomy. For instance, the underlying pelvis and muscular and other soft tissue architecture impact the waist. Liposuction for thick subcutaneous fat deposists may help as can a tummy tuck.

Waistline Reduction

I think this depends on your particular waistline.I think liposuction will do the most to debulk or reduce the size.also a tummy tuck can help along with tightening the abdominal muscles.These three things are the most beneficial.

Tummy Tuck, lipo.....

Hello, It really depends upon how you are beforehand. If you have loose tummy tissue, a tummy tuck with a muscle repair tightens the most. This will not work if your tummy is firm however so sometimes weight loss beforehand is needed. The large frame is not the important part. It is how that frame is laid out.

Surgery does reduce waistline

Ways to reduce the Waistline

There are three methods to reduce the waistline. The first, and most important, is a change in eating habits. You cannot reduce the waistline below the volume within the abdominal cavity.

To reduce the fat external to the muscles around the abdominal cavity you can use non-surgical machines like the Zerona low level Laser, or surgery, including Liposuction and Abdominoplasty. Zerona will... more

Reducing the Waistline

Of course, diet and exercise play the most important role in shaping your waistline. Liposuction is generally the best tool for reducing the waistline, if fat reduction will suffice. If excess skin is contributing, Tummy Tuck can make a dramatic difference. For people who are short-waisted, it can be quite a challenge.
