I had a tummy tuck about 9 years ago then I ended up with a hernia where Dr had to fix it other than my plastic surgeon I never really got a hourglass shape I've been reading online that if you have a short waist or your ribs and your pelvic bone or real short you can never achieve an hourglass shape I would like to know if that is true and if you could do anything for me I've sent a photo along with this just to see

Answer: Tummy tuck hourglass shape post op It is difficult to get an hourglass shape if you have wide hips and low ribs. There isn't much room to work with, but in looking at the photos you have sent, I think liposuction could help as well as possibly tightening the abdominal muscles. This may have been doen at the time of surgery but it looks like after the hernia repair, it may need to be done again if possible.

Answer: Could I achieve hourglass shape if I have a short waist? Thank you for your questions and for sharing your photographs. It is difficult for short-waisted women to obtain an hourglass appearance, as their ribs and hip serve as bony limits. If there is not much distance between the two, the soft tissues are unable to obtain an inward curvature. You may be able to benefit from some liposuction, but any treatment recommendations would really depend on an in-person examination to assess your skin quality and ability to further enhance your appearance.
