Making an Inverted Triangle Shaped Body Look More Proportionate?

July 30, 2012
Asked By:anirak

I'm 5'3 1/2 in, 140lbs. I try to watch what I eat and run 2-3 times a wk. My problem is I have an inverted triangle body shape. I have narrow hips, kinda flat bottom, and broad shoulders. I carry much of my excess weight in my upper body. My arms look especially big and this keeps me from wearing sleeveless and spaghetti straps. Would a liposuction of the upper body be a good option to make my body look more proportionate? Or can I have my fat transferred from my upper body to my hips and butt?
