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.

Answer: Looking to reduce waist size. Best procedures for this? Thank you for your question. Based on your information and photos I think that you are a good candidate for tummy tuck and liposuction to the waist and back to optimize your overall shape. Our central approach with these procedures is to provide a 360 degree improvement in order to get a beautiful flat abdomen, and to maximize feminine curves. For the abdomen a tummy tuck will flatten the abdomen, cinch in the waist, and remove excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen. Liposuction to the back and waist will give you a lean appearance and accentuate the hour glass figure. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Answer: Waist contouring Your surgical approach would depend on results after your weight comes off. Sometimes the skin and/or muscle is sagging and a tummy tuck may provide the best approach. More commonly you would likely do really well with Liposuction. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. You can find one near you at plasticsurgery.org.
