Can I just get liposuction on my waist? (photos)

Question

My waist right now measured at 30 inches, hips are at 36 inches. Looking at me, From the breasts down I’m very rectangle shaped and just wish I had more of a waist. A BBL just isn’t realistic for me recovery wise right now. But I think I could handle some liposuction. Especially if it’s just around the waist and/or abdomen. Am I able to get lipo on just the waist? Or does a full abdomen liposuction reduce inches off the waist anyways?

It is possible to get liposuction to improve your waist contour, however it all depends on how much excess pinchable fat you currently have. If you have enough, liposuction can give you more waist definition. If not, another procedure would probably be more beneficial.

Dear alexiselsewhere,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for liposuction of the abdomen, flanks or even 360 Lipo. This will reduce your waistline and remove inches off of your waist. I hope this helps.

hello, we can make your waist look thinner and your hips look bigger by doing 360 liposuction.For bbl and 360 liposuction, the recovery takes 10 days. We can speed up the recovery time in the bbl operation by performing lymphatic massage.

You can have liposuction of your waist with or without doing the abdomen. This will not change your bone structure, but will remove excess fat.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The short answer is yes, you can elect to have specific areas suctioned.  I encourage you however to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  During this visit you will have an exam and discuss your goals for surgery.  Your surgeon will be able to advise you on what you can expect in terms of results based on your anatomy.

Hi alexiselsewhere and thank you for your question and submitting your photos. Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction. I think that you would benefit from liposuction of your waistline (both front and back). This will help you achieve a more curvy look. This can often be combined with liposuction of your back and braline to enhance your look. In addition, looking at your photos of your abdomen, you would be a great candidate for what is known as abdominal etching. In this procedure liposuction is used to define the edges of the abdominal muscles to give a natural, soft, and athletic look to the abdomen. In terms of the BBL, with the way I perform my technique, patients are allowed to sit after surgery. Depending on the type of BBL you want, we can place the fat to achieve the desired results you want. I hope this helps answer your question!

You are a GREAT candidate for lipo 360.  This should give you a very nice waist line and curvaceous silhouette.
Best wishes.
