Looking to reduce waist size. Best procedures for this? (Photos)

July 6, 2017
Asked By:ashleyannmerk in Toms River, NJ

I've been recently diagnosed with PCOS, which causes insulin resistance. This has caused me to gain weight, specifically in the waist, and has given me a terrible apple shape. I have been dieting and exercising and have lost 20 lbs thus far, and I plan to lose another 25-30 by next year. I want to get my waist shaped as a college graduation gift to myself next year. I was wondering what procedure/s would be best. I'd like to have a tiny but tighter tummy still, as shown in the photos.
