I am 20 years old, i am 5'11 and weight 125 pounds, so i am very skinny but the problem is that my waist is 27 inches. Is there any procedure for me to have a smaller waist.

hello heyogis  Vaser liposuction  is a minimally invasive fat removal and body contouring liposuction procedure, and it is an alternative technique to the traditional liposuction methods. I believe it is easier to sculpt and contour the body.  Improving areas such as the back rolls, abdominal definition, and waistline are just a few of the common areas that can be treated with better results. #options #waistline

This is tough to answer without pictures. For a smaller waist, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you a smaller waist and toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There is a condition called body dysmorphic syndrome where people feel strongly that something is not perfect with their body.  If you find yourself obsessed with this notion, you may want to discuss this with a psychiatrist or psychologist to explore whether or not your desires to have a 27' waist are realistic.  If you are 5'11" with a 27 inch waist, it seems unrealistic to do anything drastic to try and get a smaller waist.

Photos are necessary to help you with your question.  The two procedures that are the best option for narrowing the waistline are liposuction and tummy tuck or abdominoplasty.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your question, heyogis.
It’s hard to recommend a procedure without physically seeing how you look. Liposuction may be an option for getting rid of excess fat on your waist, but I can’t be certain until I’ve seen you in person.
Make sure that you consult a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon to know about your surgical options. I offer free initial consultations; all you have to do is schedule on my website.
Good luck!

The definitive gold standard is high definition liposuction, which involves three key elements: VASER technology, PowerX liposuction cannulas, and cool helium plasma skin tightening.

The only way to get a thin waist for non-overweight women is to have a full abdominoplasty  with aggressive muscle tightening. This procedure is generally only appropriate for women who have had children and are not planning on having any more children in the future.  Waist trainers can actually work but require stringent adherence for a long periods of time. The amount of pressure and discomfort as well as the time Required to actually change your muscular skeletal structure by external pressure is severe enough that most people do not succeed with this treatment option.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
