Can I use SculpSure on my waist? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I don’t have much fat but I am slightly unhappy with my waist size. I am not a candidate for lipo, nor am I interested in it because the change I want is so small and the recovery wouldn’t be worth it for me. I am, however, interested in getting SculpSure to reduce fat on my waist. The thing is, I do not want to go down toward the “love handle area”. So would I be able to use SculpSure to reduce fat only on the circled areas to create a slightly smaller waist?

You will need a consultation of course. Sculpsure does not require the treatment area to be distorted during treatment which often allows small areas of stubborn fat to be safely reduced. When the fat layer being targeted is less than 2 cm thick the amount of visible improvement with any intervention will be quite small.

Hi and thank you for your question! You do not seem to have much excess fat, but you still might be a candidate for SculpSure. A consultation and examination in person, including examination of the flanks is needed to determine for sure but overall, you seem to be a good candidate and the treatment can target the areas you desire. I hope it helps and good luck!

SculpSure is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to get rid of small areas or pockets of fat that persist despite exercise and diet. A side may be difficult to address but a skilled technician should be able to manipulate the applicators to only get the center of the flank to create a smaller waistline.

The areas that you have circled, above the flanks on the sides of your torso, could be treated with SculpSure.  The question is whether you would see much improvement with it though.  Typically, there is more subcutaneous fat on the flanks (love handles), which is below the circled areas.  An examination of you would really be needed to try and determine how much subcutaneous fat you have in the desired treatment areas.

Yes, you appear to be a candidate for Sculpsure. Keep in mind, with Sculpsure, a combination of treatments is needed to get good results. I recommend combining Sculpsure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. We currently use a fire and ice treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish for good results in fat removal. However, a VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results with fat removal, contouring and definition. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes you can do Sculpsure on the areas you have circled. You are an ideal candidate because you do not have a lot of excess fat and no skin laxity. Your results may not be dramatic but you should notice a reduction in fat in that area. It is best to seek a consult so you can be properly assessed. Good luck!

You can treat the waist with SculpSure. You appear to be an ideal candidate- healthy body weight with a “trouble area” you would like to treat.
SculpSure treatments require an in-person consultation to ensure the frames fit the area you want to treat properly.
We always recommend at least 2 treatments of SculpSure for the best results.  You can expect to see up to a 24% improvement in the area of concern.  Results can be seen 6-12 weeks after your final treatment.

Good day and congratulations on being the perfect candidate for Sculpsure. 2-4 frames on each side will do it. You need 2 sessions to see results in 3 months. 25 min for 25 % of the fat cells killed in the targeted area. No down time and about an inch from the waist are lost.

GOOD LUCK with finding the best MD performing the procedure,

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos SculpSure might be a good option for you. SculpSure is FDA approved and highly effective in killing fat cells in unwanted areas such as flanks, abdomen, upper arms, thighs, knees, and other locations with fat deposits. The heating energy of the SculpSure laser also causes the production of collagen and elastin, the two necessary building blocks for youthful, healthy skin. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Deborah Wilson, MD · Answer

Yes, we have treated many women who have areas of fatty tissue in the waist area. We place the patients in a massage chair and lean them forward, then place the frames on the waist or "love handle" area. Our patients have been very happy with the results they are getting. You are a perfect candidate for SculpSure in this area.
