I have an inverted triangle body shape, is there any way could get an hourglass shape? (Photo)

Question

I've been losing weight but I don't want to lose too much because I don't want to look so manly.

Hi there, thank you for your question. You can reach an hourglass shape with liposuction and BBL. Also, it would be better to see your pictures from front angle for a better consultation.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you need weight loss, and liposuction + internal heating. If you have significant loose skin you may need skinremoval.  I suggest you get a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In general, body shape is determined by your muscles, bones and fat tissue deposits on top. With liposuction, same areas of superficial fat can be shaped to a certain degree. Adding volume to areas that may need augmentation, using fat grafts harvested with liposuction, is additional tool to change and shape patient's body. Only on the basis of in person evaluation and discussion about your goals and expectations, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon may present you viable options. Good luck.

Dear twinki.930,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, liposuction is the best option for body contouring. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello, thanks for your question and photo. You are a candidate for Lipo & Tummy Tuck. Probably, with a BBL. These are the procedures for getting an hourglass contour. You can get excellent results according to your body structure. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good Luck!

Dear Twinki,
Your photos make it very difficult to properly answer your questions.  That being said, it appears that liposuction of your sides and lower back (possibly your upper lateral back as well) would give you a much nicer curvaceous figure.

You would benefit from High Definition VASER Liposuction and a BBL. VASER Lipo would help address stubborn fat pockets. The BBL would change your overall aesthetic by giving your buttock more definition and curve. The optimal BBL outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Well done liposuction of your full torso with fat grafting to your buttocks and hips with accomplish some of what you’re trying to achieve.  In regards to the liposuction it’s important that this includes your arms including shoulders, under arm area and fullback.

In our practice we typically treat the torso as a single anatomic unit treating all of it to leave people with a natural thin fat distribution. Slimming  your arms and shoulders together with this will help a lot.

It’s up to you if you also want to add a BBL. Your picture is somewhat limited so based on that those are my recommendations.

Best,
