Would lipo be helpful in making my waist smaller? (photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. 

You are a great candidate for high definition liposuction of the abdomen and flanks to remove fat, thin your waistline and improve contour/definition. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recomend you to get a Liposuction for better results. If you're willing to travel, Surgeons in the Dominican Republic have experience and very high standard of excellence when it comes to plastic surgery. I'm positive you can get what you're looking for

Of course liposuction can help you to achieve a much better body shape. You can have an hourglass body shape. We can remove the fat from your love handles where there is a reasonable amount of fat, lower abdomen, upper abdomen and may be even lower back, so that you can have a nice body shape. I would suggest, you meet a board certified plastic surgeon near you who can guide you.

The most effective technique to make your waist smaller would be abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement.  The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.  I only perform mesh reinforcement if you are not planning future pregnancies.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

hormonal optimization (seelink), female 360 VASER HD LIPO + internal heating, and fat grafting (if you have any) would give you more curve when used on the hips/buttock.
You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph,s you are a great candidate for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks, and lower back.  This can greatly improve your overall shape with a smaller waist.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.

Best wishes and good luck.

Dear skpoisonapples,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would get good results after 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.

Thanks for sharing your photos. You can find both surgical and non-surgical options (cryo-lipolysis) for shaping your waist aesthetically. However, based on your photos, a surgical procedure like liposuction would greatly benefit your outlook and yield best aesthetic results. An effective liposuction procedure warrants a uniform contour irrespective of degree of additional fat, by removing the lingering fat carefully and evenly. This procedure is also utilized to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour, and so the skin redundancy is duly addressed. I would suggest you to show me a photograph of a desired shape of your waist (‘Goal’ photo), to decide whether that could be effectively achieved with liposuction. I would recommend you to schedule an appointment with an experienced plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in liposuction procedures, and discuss your aesthetic goals and other treatment options.I hope this helps.

Hi skpoisonapples,
Thank you for sharing your images and concerns. After carefully assessing them, I can state that you are a suitable candidate for Liposuction procedure. However, to achieve the most ideal result, I suggest Vaser Liposuction to the waist, abdomen, and sides.

Having a physical consultation is also essential in these types of surgeries. Therefore, I highly recommend you book an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your option in more depth.

I hope this helps.

 

 

Having lost the weight, you are a candidate for liposuction and would achieve a significant improvement. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and to discuss the procedure in detail.
