Why Do Some Women Have Hour Glass Figures After Having Had a Tummy Tuck and Some Women Don't?

A surgeon can do little tweaks here and there to try and get more of a waist to come out but most of the time it really is the shape of the patient that determines the real waistline…Things like spot liposuction, muscle separation suture techniques or differential tightening at the waist all may help, but its kind of like Rhinoplasty…To a large extent, you are given what you get to work with!!!

Your shape following abdominoplasty depends on many factors.  The shape of your ribs, compliance of abdominal wall, shape of pelvis, and distance between lower margin of ribs and iliac crest of pelvis are primary contributors to final shape.  In general, if you have a very short torso and waist is not narrow from view of the back before surgery, it will be more difficult to narrow your shape to an hourglass.  Narrow pelvis also more difficult to achieve hourglass shape.

That's what makes the world go round! It's more the woman's underlying shape though a good plastic surgeon can use some tricks to get closer even with a not-so-ideal body. It's a combination of genes, lifestyle and surgeon.
