Can liposuction help me achieve a smaller waist (like Kim Kardashian) & remove lower ab fat? Thanks!

Question

I’m 5’4 and 140 lbs, I feel my torso is too square and I want a defined hourglass look. Also I carry most of my abdominal fat in my lower area

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Liposuction can help but if you have loose skin which it appears you may, you will need skin removal at the same time to get a tighter look and to prevent any irregularities and sagging later.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Liposuction of the abdomen/flanks can really bring in the waistline nicely and is so easy to undergo under tumescent local with a quick recovery and back to work in 2 days.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

This all comes down to precision and artistic capabilities of the plastic surgeon.  Liposuctioning fit individuals is very tricky, and there is no room for error. Recommend liposuctioning abdomen, flanks, and back for a defined hourglass look.  If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction and liposuction revision procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries, and read patient reviews. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Based on my experience of doing what you are asking for past 19 years and over 40 years in the Plastic Surgery Center of Beverly Hills I am confident that the experience and artistic aptitude of the doctor is THE key for what you want to achieve.

It is best to be seen in person, but based on the photos alone you seem to be a good candidate for liposuction of the flanks, back, and abdomen to help you achieve a curvier hourglass figure. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon so they may better discuss the procedures to help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire. Good luck!

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

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on your photos you are a good candidate for a liposuction and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire 
shape. You improve your abdomen, waist, hips and of course your buttock 
is you want fat transfer, to give you a beautiful heart shape.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)

Thanks for reaching out and sharing photos! You definitely could be a great candidate for liposuction, but the best way to learn about which options would get you the best result and a result you will love is to go on a few in person consultations with experienced board certified surgeons. Best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

There are a number of good options for you.  Liposuction is one of those options and can be performed with traditional liposuction, Vaser, BodyJet and LaserLipo.  Other non invasive options to help you shape your body without surgery include CoolSculpting, UltraShape and Vanquish.  I would recommend that you consult with a specialist with extensive experience who has all of the options available to discuss the risks, benefits, costs and adverse effects of each of the options.

You have an hourglass shape to begin with, and achieving a more exaggerated hourglass shape could be done with some liposuction contouring. You have enough shape that even just liposuction to the belly area would make a difference by exaggerating your frame. Possibly some liposuction on the thighs too to make your hips and bottom stand out more, giving you that hourglass look you are hoping to achieve.
