Would I get an hourglass shape with Smart Lipo? (photos)

Question

I'm looking to get smart lipo in my abdomen, waist and upper hips. I went to see a surgeon who said he doesn't think he'd get more than 1L of fat from these areas and he isn't sure if I'd get that hour glass shape. Can you tell me if it's possible to achieve with my body type. My measurements are W-31, hips-42 and bust is 34. Thanks

The pictures show that you have a good body and long torso structure. In these cases a well performed high definition liposuction by any means and accomplishing skin tightening with the Smart lipo, not for contouring or removing fat, just to enhance skin tightening would give you a great result with a beautiful hourglass shape. The amount of fat removed I think would be close to 2 liters if the whole torso is treated since doing only partial liposuction would not give you the best figure. Good luck

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for full boy intense liposuction improving your body contour and get better curves especially in your laterals and waist. and a Dominican butt lift  transferring the fat that we get to your butt molding and improving your gluteal volume and projection

Smart lipo is good for removing stubborn areas of fat, but lacks body shaping ability. For an hour glass shape, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you a smooth hour-glass shape. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is absolutely possible to have an hour glass figure after liposuction. Liposuction of your abdomen, flanks ( waist) and entire back would definitely give you the figure you desire. You do have some fat in your waist and thus when this fat is removed ( contoured) your underlying curves would show.

Thank you for posting your question. From your pictures, it looks like you have a pretty good body shape. Smart lipo uses laser to dissolve and permanently remove pockets of fat while at the same time tighten overlying skin. Since you have pretty good body shape and not much excess fat to begin with, I think you will benefit from the smart lipo procedure. As far as achieving the hour glass figure, I think you may need fat transferred or implants at your hip to achieve such effect. If that is really what you want, I recommend asking your physician about those options before committing to any procedure. Best of luck.
