Can Lipo-cavitation remove fat from the waist?

Cavitation refers to an effect from certain types of ultrasound in tissue such as fat. However, the cavitation effect is difficult to control and it is very important to know exactly what the technology you are considering actually does. For any treatment you might be considering, you should ask: (1) Is it FDA approved? (I searched the FDA website and found nothing on lipo-cavitation as a specific technology (2) Are there clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals to document the safety and effectiveness of the procedure? (Again, a quick search finds nothing for lipo-cavitation) (3) How does it compare to established, proven procedures? Liposonix is a focused ultrasound device that meets the above criteria.

If you are relatively fit then you are a good
candidate for #Vaser liposuction. It is a minimally invasive way
to get rid of stubborn fat and a good option for your waist as this procedure is easier to sculpt and contour the body. You can even
add a fat transfer procedure after. Common uses are for breast
augmentation and Brazilian buttock lift depending on the amount of fat
harvested. 
Please remember that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and
muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect
one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in
maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Thank you for your question. Treatments like CoolSculpting and different Ultrasound techniques seem to be able to eliminate some fat in some people some of the time. None of these techniques are as powerful or reliable as liposuction, meaning tumescent liposuction. If you are not overweight, you are likely a good candidate for liposuction. Liposuction is a sculpting tool and is actually not a weight loss tool.

Liposuction may be suitable to remove fat from your waist, but if your aim is to create an hourglass figure, then you'd probably want to select a treatment that creates curves by adding, rather than taking away. For an hourglass figure, think about adding volume to your breasts and hips/buttocks. Breast augmentation and a butt lift with fat transplantation (aka Brazilian Butt Lift) can help. Talk to your surgeon - I'm sure they'll be able to recommend a suitable treatment for you during a consultation.

     Removal of fat by any method of liposuction can be effective.  This has less to do with the type and more to do with the surgeon.
