I am a bodybuilder. What procedures can shrink an already low fat waist? Hip bone shaving or trimming etc? (Photos)

Question

Specifically in the lower area of the waist, I wish to trim and bring in the overall diameter. I understand that much of the size of the lower waist area is genetic. Hip-bone shaving or reducing the size of the lower adductors are all ideas. I’ve attached pictures of goals below. Note the dramatic waist to shoulder ratio. Keep in mind that my waist already does not have any fat on it.

Dear zeus28,

As a bodybuilder aiming for a sculpted physique, you're likely seeking procedures that can further refine your already impressive physique. When it comes to targeting specific areas like the lower waist, traditional methods like hip bone shaving may not be suitable, especially if your goal is to enhance definition and achieve a more proportionate silhouette.

One advanced technique that bodybuilders often opt for is VASER Hi-Def Liposuction. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER Hi-Def is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology to precisely sculpt the body, removing stubborn fat deposits while preserving surrounding tissues. This technique is particularly effective in defining muscle groups and enhancing muscular contours, including the waistline.

By selectively removing excess fat around the waist area, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction can help accentuate your abdominal muscles, creating a more chiseled and defined appearance. Additionally, the procedure stimulates collagen production, which can contribute to skin tightening and improved skin retraction, further enhancing your overall physique.

During your consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in body contouring procedures, you can discuss your aesthetic goals in detail and explore the suitability of VASER Hi-Def Liposuction for achieving the desired results. Your surgeon will tailor the treatment plan to address your specific concerns and help you achieve a harmonious balance between muscle definition and overall body proportions.

Best wishes on your journey to achieving your ideal physique!

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

HD Vaser liposuction is the gold standard in male abdominal etching. High definition sculpting includes defining the lateral abdominal line (called the semi-lunaris line), the vertical midline (called the linea alba), as well as the horizontal lines (call the inscriptions). You mentioned having no fat on your waist already. Detailed knowledge of your abdominal muscle anatomy allows experienced surgeon to contour the other areas of your abdomen to accentuate your already defined muscle physique. A consultation with a Vaser HD lipo surgeons is recommended to answer any further questions and perform an examination of your body to ensure that you achieve the body contouring results that you desire.
