I’m a fitness enthusiast and overall have a very toned physique (abs and muscles are visible). The only area that I struggle with are my flanks/ hips and back where I feel that I retain fat. Is liposuction a suitable procedure for me? Would it give me a more toned look and smaller waistline? Thank you!

Answer: Physical examination Your waistline will not decrease significantly. Also, liposuction can cause contour deformities so you have to be examined to determine how much fat you have in each area and if you are candidate for liposuction. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Liposuction for Fit Women Most people think that liposuction is intended for people with lots of excess fat. This isn’t necessarily true. Yes, Lipo will remove fat, but it is a BODY SHAPING procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This means that the best candidates are people who are in good shape and have a healthy lifestyle, BUT still have some “trouble” areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. So, yes, you can probably benefit from liposuction if you want to shape your waistline or any other area. There isn’t going to be a lot of fat removed, but that’s ok because targeted removal of a small amount of fat from the right places can make a big difference. Make sure to see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who specialized in liposuction, since your case will take a high level of expertise.
