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?
Answer: Can surgery help with a high waist/short torso situation? Hello. Great question. Thank you for your picture. Based on your image, it appears you may benefit from liposuction and perhaps some skin tightening. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

Answer: 4D VASER HI DEF Liposculpture -- with ThermiRF, Renuvion, BodyTite, Fat Grafting, Skin Tightening, Cellulite, Skin Laxity Thank you for your question, 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 that do very poorly for tightening skin or 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 heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. 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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
