Question

Is it possible to alter my waist to hip ratio? I have researched what men find attractive and come up with various articles that state that a waist to hip ratio of 0.6-0.8 is what is considered attractive in various studies, I want to alter myself to a 0.6 waist to hip ratio.. but I have no idea how I would undergo this procedure.. below is a 0.6 wthr.. is this even possible.. how so?

Hello,You may be a candidate for liposuction and fat grafting to the hip/buttock area. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring procedures. A ratio of 0.6 is fairly extreme, and will likely not be considered desirable in the near future. Best of luck!

It is great to have an ideal waist to hip ratio but for those who don't have it body contouring techniques can help. Of course, without detailed examination, it is impossible to advise any specific patient.I have been performing BodyTite Liposuction for over 5 years and it is s great technique for fat removal as well as skin tightening.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Dear Stella_Bleu,yes, you can alter the waist to hip ratio by performing liposuction of your abdomen, love handles, back and transferring fat to your hips and buttocks. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Circumferential liposuction of the trunk with fat transfer to the hips would likely be the treatment you seek.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Altering your waist to hip ratio will depend on your natural body shape and your bone, muscle, and fat composition. Generally speaking, liposuction of the waist and abdomen and fat grafting to the hips and buttock region can help alter the ratio significantly. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine what procedure you are a candidate for. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery@drjohnsonlee

Tim Sayed, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Part of what defines your waist to hip ratio is the anatomy of your rib cage, your abdominal wall, and your pelvic bones. Some modification of the abdominal wall is possible with tummy tuck surgery to tighten the muscle layer and reduce the cylinder of the abdomen a bit; most of the time, nothing can safely be done to alter the bony structure of the ribs and pelvis (some patients have had rib removals of the lower ribs to try to narrow the waist but I consider this extreme and not necessarily a safe procedure). Because some of the definition of the ratio is based on how much soft tissue is between the fixed structures of the body wall and the skin (i.e., the fat under the skin), liposuction body contouring procedures can often help improve the waist and narrow its appearance.

Having a curvy waist line is very attractive and feminine. If you have protuberant flanks/love handles due to unwanted fat deposits, resistance to diet and exercise, liposuction/liposelection is the answer.
