I want to be more of an hourglass - What should I do first, rib removal or real-sculpting or a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Question

I have extra fat on my belly that I've not been able to lose with diet and exercise and some extra skin from weight loss. I am naturally a boxy shape and want to have a flat, tight abdomen that has a better hourglass shape. My hips are narrow and I have an inverted triangle shape. I know I'll still have that shape for the most part, but I want to enhance myself to be more of an hourglass, realistically. What is the best way to go about this? I am 5’6 and 155 lbs.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these limited view photos, I would recommend VASER Hi Def Lipo 360, +/- Renuvion skin tightening. Without addressing your torso in 3 dimensions, you will not have an hourglass shape. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Dear Compassionate151197,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Based on the post photos, best to do virtual consultation, but would recommend use of liposuction with J plasma to tighten the skin and possibly a hip dip BBL surgery in combination. Best of virtual concert with fee range from $8000-$12,000 again best of virtual consult with.
