What procedure to narrow the waistline and create a more defined stomach? (Photo)

Question

I regularly exercise and am pretty fit around 20% body fat. I can’t seem to get this small layer of fat covering my belly without extreme dieting. I also tend to store fat in my stomach so getting leaner means smaller hips/legs too which I don’t want. What surgery can I do to get rid of all the fat on my stomach so I can reveal my abs? Photos of mine vs desired stomach

Thank you for your question regarding what procedure would contour your waistline and create a more defined stomach. VASER Hi-Def liposuction would be the best option for you to achieve your desired results. You already have a fit frame, but I do see the excess fat of your abdomen that you were referring to. The VASER uses heat to melt the fat. The fat is then sucked out through liposuction. This gives the best results, and surgeons are able to sculpt around the muscle bellies to give you the six-pack that you desire. If you want to use the suction fat to transfer to your hips or buttocks, that can also be done. Thank you for your question regarding how to get rid of the fat on your stomach and define your abs.

Lipo under local with bodytite/quantum and morpheus can help sculpt the abs really nicely and is so easy to undergo with only 2 days before you are back to work and 1 week back to the gym.

Thanks for your question. High definition liposuction would provide those results. It refines the body achieving a more pronounced and dramatic outcome. With this procedure, I can etch or sculpt the body, defining anatomical structures. That said, you seem to be a good candidate for the procedure. Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. Upon evaluating your case, I believe that you are an ideal candidate for high-definition liposuction via Ab Silhouetch technique. The minor excess fat on your abdomen will be eliminated, and your abdominal muscles will be artistically chiseled, contoured, and accentuated.

With liposuction, in the front, and soft definition in your abdomen it will be look amazing, and you can workout in 15 days after the surgery

Power assisted liposuction of abdomen/waist would improve your abdominal wall definition and waistline.

For achieving a more defined waistline and sculpted abdomen, a combination of advanced liposculpture, such as TechTrend, and, in specific cases, rib contouring may be recommended.Liposculture precisely targets stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, enhancing abdominal definition and highlighting underlying musculature. This approach is particularly effective for individuals with a low body fat percentage, as it focuses on refining anatomical details.Rib contouring can be considered as an additional option for reducing waist circumference further, creating a harmonious and permanent waistline enhancement.A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to assess individual anatomy and goals and to develop a safe and effective personalized treatment plan.

Liposuction can help remove some of the stubborn fat of the abdomen to give definition and emphasize your curves.   I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals and learn what you can expect in terms of results.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for sharing your photos! I would need to examine you to best answer your question, but liposuction is a surgical option that can help treat the area of fat and create a more defined look. I perform liposuction using a combination of liposuction techniques (including SmartLipo, ultrasonic liposuction, and power-assisted liposuction) in my fully-accredited operating room with IV (or “twilight”) sedation administered by board-certified anesthesiologists as an outpatient procedure. I recommend you meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with both non-surgical and surgical treatments to discuss an individualized treatment for you.

Sergio Sanchez-Bailon, MD · Answer

The hi-def liposuction was thought specifically on your type of body and desired results. The best patient for this procedure has a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and good nutrition habits, who has stubborn fat that can’t be completely gone with that lifestyle and wants a more athletic look. So basically you’re a perfect candidate for this procedure.
