I want a more round shape. Body type and procedure? (Photo)

Question

My current body stats are 193 lbs, 5'5". I store most fat in my upper body. My upper body, arms and back fat are my main concern. I want to slim down my upper body. I want to possibly have hip sculpting to give it a natural A shape, if that is possible, without adding projection, only sculpting it. I want it more round at the bottom. What procedure would I benefit from? Also, what would my butt type be considered, is it a square, apple, or inverted? Is what I am asking for possible?

Liposuction can be used to help sculpt curves and remove excess fat.  Some skin tightening can be achieved by adding J Plasma, however if skin laxity is already an issue, skin excision may be needed for the best contour.  The next step is to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more.

Thank you for your question regarding achieving a round shape, especially the hip slimming procedure. You have two areas of concern, your back and your hips. I believe you want your back more petite and your hips either more prominent or more shapely. Therefore, I would suggest either liposuction or a back lift on your back. During liposuction, fat is removed from the upper back. The fat can then be placed on the back table and transferred to the hips to get you more shape, especially in the lateral position. Fat can be added to the side, not to increase buttock projection. Alternatively, you may consider a back lift. The back lift is also called a torsoplasty. There are two types of torsoplasty, mainly vertical and horizontal torsoplasty.
During a vertical torsoplasty, an incision is made from the armpit down the side, and excess skin and fat can be directly removed. Alternatively, a horizontal torsoplasty can be placed with an incision underneath your bra strap area, and a large area of skin and fat can be directly removed. You may consider hip implants if you do not want fat transfer to the hip. Hip implants are FDA-approved implants. Where the implants are inserted into the hip, these opt-in spectacular results. In regards to your buttocks. You have a square buttock. I hope my answers help to clarify what to do with your upper body, arms, and back fat. 
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Dear SNew6000,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello @Sydny1987, thank you for your question. One of the procedures that will help you enhance your body is liposuction. In my opinion, liposculture is the most effective method for controlling the long-term results. However, more information is needed. A consultation is vital to establishing a protocol that meets your needs, meets your expectations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Hi, thanks for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for 360 liposuction. This will allow you to reshape the torso to your desired contour.
