Which type of lipo is best for a thick waist? Hourglass shape desired (Photo)

Tricia2
is there a specific type of lipo procedure that is better for getting an hourglass shape? I have lost about 20 lbs which has helped but i no matter what, i'm box/apple shape. I am 5'4" 165, 36" waist. Ideally, i would loose at least 5" from my waist. Is this even possible?
