Could I achieve hourglass shape if I have a short waist? (photos)

It is difficult to comment based on your photos.  You will benefit the most by getting into as best shape as possible with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. it appears that you have flank fat that is out of proportion to the rest of your body and you may definitely benefit from liposuction. This will help you achieve a Better waistline. The best recommendation would be after a consultation and physical exam which you are welcome to schedule. 

Liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to reduce the waist to the extent possible along with fat grafting to the hips can give the illusion of an hourglass figure.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

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.

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.  

Postoperative results are often limited by your preoperative anatomy.  To achieve an hourglass figure from abdominoplasty with liposuction, you need to accentuate your hips and narrow your waist.  People with wide hipbones, long torso (where the muscles can be plicated and narrowed), and ribs no wider than your hip bones can achieve an hour glass shape postoperatively.  I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your options and realistic expectations of what can be achieved with surgery.  Good luck!
