The potential for results in liposuction has to do with whether someone is a good candidate or not. Much of this has to do with how thick the layer of subcutaneous fat is.Subcutaneous fat is the layer of fat between the skin and muscle.That is the only fat that can be removed with liposuction.Some people may have a very wide waist but still small amounts of subcutaneous fat. A person with that body configuration will not have a significant improvement from liposuction.If someone has a very narrow waist but layers of subcutaneous fat, then a dramatic change can be achieved.You need to consult with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate or not.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

The result obtained from a
liposuction is not determined by the width of your waist. Instead, it is
determined by the layer of subcutaneous fat in the concerned area of your body.
This is because; only subcutaneous fat can be removed. Hence, if you have lots
of subcutaneous fats in that area then you can have a huge transformation after
the liposuction. You can be more enlightened if you talk to a professional
surgeon.
