Smaller Waistline Through Liposuction?

If you have fat deposits in your mid section that are preventing you from having the hourglass shape you want, then liposuction may be able to remove them. Please see a board certified, experienced plastic surgeon for a better assessment of your concern.

The answer to a smaller waistline and or to proportion your figure would be through liposuction. Liposuction is a surgical technique that plastic surgeons have used since the 1970’s to remove local, unwanted fat deposits. The most commonly addressed areas of the body are the abdomen, flank, back, chin/neck, arms, thighs, and legs. Using a cannula (a long, hollow, metal instrument) and rubber tubing under negative-pressure, the surgeon removes the unsightly fat, permanently improving the over-all contour of the body. Because liposuction is not a weight-loss technique, but rather a body-sculpting or body-contouring technique, the best candidates for liposuction are those that are near their ideal body weight, have good skin quality, and have specific areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in liposuction for best results.

 

Thank you for the question.

The operation that is “best"  for you will be  based on your exact goals and physical examination. For example, “seeking a hourglass figure” may mean different things to different people;  communication with your plastic surgeon in person is critical. If there is a failure to communicate exactly your goals are there is a high likelihood that you will be disappointed with the results of surgery. Some patients may achieve the results with liposuction surgery,  some patients may require an extended tummy tuck to achieve their goals.

I would suggest consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

I hope this helps.
