Hello I would like to reduce my waist size its currently 26 inches and I would ideally like to reduce it to 24. I am aware im already thin but I would just like a little more shape because I naturally have a rectangle body shape. If I am not a candidate for lipo is there anything else you would recommend for this?
Answer: Candidate for liposuction Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction of the abdomen is option. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear Easygoing93619, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a liposuction. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Liposuction for skinny people Most people think that liposuction is intended for people with lots of excess fat. This isn’t necessarily true. Yes, Lipo will remove fat, but it is a BODY SHAPING procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This means that the best candidates are people who are in good shape and have a healthy lifestyle, BUT still have some “trouble” areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. So, yes, you can probably benefit from liposuction if you want to shape your waistline or any other area. There isn’t going to be a lot of fat removed, but that’s ok because targeted removal of a small amount of fat from the right places can make a big difference. Make sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction, since your case will take a high level of expertise.

Answer: Liposuction "Thank you based on your picture, you are a good candidate for liposuction. If you're looking to achieve a more sculpted waist and have a specific size reduction in mind, liposuction could be an effective method to remove localized fat and contour the body, given that you're already at a healthy weight and have good skin elasticity. It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and evaluate if you're a suitable candidate for the procedure. "

Answer: Cautious liposuction may be a benefit to you. Doing a cautious liposuction, with small diameter cannulas may be able to shape you just slightly more and meet your goals. Care must be taken to keep the cannulas as deep as possible, in order to help minimize contour deformities. Energy base systems, such as laser liposuction, or ultrasonic liposuction, are options, but have a potential for the tip of the cannula to damage the under surface of the skin as it delivers the energy to the tissue. Cryotherapy, such as cool sculpting may also be considered, but has a potential downside of having paroxysmal adipose hypertrophy. Discuss this in-depth with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
