Asked By:Thriving6251 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 112 pounds and 5 foot 7 but no matter what I do I have a really thick waist (between 26-27 inches). it's not so much fat, more like my hip bones come up pretty high and my rib cage comes down low, so all my organs are smushed in my belly. i'd love to have a narrow waist - is there anything surgical I can do?
