I'm slender, but want waist contouring lipo - is this possible? (Photo)

Dear Melanitez,

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. Based on your description and your desire for subtle waist contouring, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction could be an excellent option for you.

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction is a minimally invasive body sculpting technique that utilizes ultrasound technology to precisely target and remove small pockets of fat. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction can achieve highly refined results, making it ideal for individuals like yourself who are seeking subtle enhancements to their physique.

One of the key benefits of VASER technology is its ability to not only remove fat but also stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. The heat generated by the ultrasound energy helps to contract the skin, resulting in a smoother and more contoured appearance.

Given your slender frame and minimal fat deposits, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction can effectively address your concerns and create the subtle waist contouring you desire. During a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in VASER techniques. Carefully examine their before and after photos.

Best wishes on your journey to achieving your desired figure.

Sincerely,

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are an excellent candidate for liposuction and can achieve your desired goal.

You appear to be a good candidate for liposuction to better define your curves. The results may be more subtle as you do not have a lot of fat. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals and learn more what you can expect in terms of results.

There is probably some areas of fat that would be amenable to liposuction, but like you said, it is probably not a lot and how much it would help would be better judged after in person physical exam where your surgeon can feel how much extra fat there is. There are other limitations to be aware of such as the ribs and pelvis bones which are limiting factors to how narrow certain areas can get and where we can narrow. I do liposuction often though on very fit people who just have certain stubborn areas that they are concerned with and sometimes subtle changes can make the biggest difference. Hope that helps!

You need to be examined to see how thick your fat is. It is possible that you can be liposucted but if you are too thin it can leave contour irregularities which will be very difficult to correct.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
