Can Bodytite create an hourglass silhouette? (Photo)

Question

Pregnancy has caused the skin around my abdomen and flank to stretch; accompanying this is abdominal separation, I am left with a rectangular shape. I am considering Bodytite for my upper and lower abdomen; for best result should Bodytite be conducted on the flanks as well to achieve an hourglass figure? Or any other location.

Great Question! BodyTite will enhance your natural figure and reduce excess fat. You may be able to contour the hip area to create a more hourglass shape with liposuction techniques, but it can only enhance the natural shape of your hips and body. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon near you to review your options!

Liposuction, combined with a TT, will allow you to have stubborn fat resistant to exercise and diet removed from unwanted areas (abdomen, flanks). A TT with muscle tightening will create a flat abdomen and would also provide the benefit of placing your incision along the lower pubic region. The TT also creates a more youthful belly button. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same. Consult via email or Skype with a board certified plastic surgeon to answer any additional questions you may have.

You have loose skin and a relaxed abdominal wall due to the pregnancy. This will only be minimally helped with any nonsurgical option. You most likely need a full tummy tuck with diastasis repair. However you should wait if you plan any more children. Good luck.

Dear Kind766989,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You might probably be a better candidate for liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Since Bodytite is done in with liposuction as well, the more area around the abdomen that is suctioned the more the skin can shrink in around it. Some of the best results for getting an hourglass shape is by doing Lipo 360 with Bodytite. This was you maximize the skin shrinking into your body all the way around.
