Waistline Narrowing

Waistline narrowing requires maximal removal of soft tissue fullness, i.e. excess fat, as well as tightening of skin redundancy at the waist level. To achieve this, the VASER ultrasound technology is used to first liquefy the fat prior to liposuction. In a small number of patients with skin redundancy, Renuvion minimally invasive helium plasma-activated radiofrequency is used to tighten the skin.

You can expect exaggerated curves around the waist region when viewed from both the front and back. The classic "Tilde curve = ~ " has been used to describe this exaggerated curve. When waistline narrowing is achieved using VASER liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening, patients should expect maximum waistline narrowing and elimination of any skin redundancy.

When using VASER liposuction it is important to recognize that all of the fat layers will be comprehensively removed. In the flank region, i.e. middle back region, the fat is distributed in three layers, i.e the superficial, middle, and deep layers. Whereas the deeper fat layer is loose and easy to remove, the middle and superficial layers are very fibrous and difficult to remove with traditional liposuction. However, since VASER liposuction melts the fat in all three layers, it allows for maximal fat removal down to the waistline muscles. Overall, VASER liposuction provides the ultimate modality for fat removal in the waist region.

First, you need to quit smoking cigarettes and even marijuana as they contain nicotine that is detrimental to the microvessels that deliver oxygenation to your skin. Following the aggressive removal of all fat from your waistline, the skin can become compromised. We recommend that you avoid all smoking for one month prior to and two weeks following surgery. Marijuana is even more critical and must be avoided postoperatively as it will vasodilate your microvessels causing leakage of blood and unnecessary blood loss. The next item is to avoid all blood-thinning medications, nutrients, and food products. A few of the more popular items that need to be avoided include all aspirin-like products (called NSAIDS), fish oils (omega 3 fatty acids), Ginko Biloba, and almonds. We will provide you, a list of all products to be avoided for one month prior to and two weeks following surgery. Finally, high definition liposuction can result in significant blood loss in the tumescent solution thus necessitating a higher than normal blood count. Your blood level will be checked early and an iron supplement may be advocated to increase your blood count prior to surgery as needed.

The ideal waistline should be positioned at the point of maximum indentation which should be located between the subcostal margin and the lateral crest of the hip bone. This area should be maximally narrowed both when viewed from the front and the back and is located approximately one inch above the belly button.

The waistline indentation is created by the prominence of the rib cage superiorly and lateral hip bone inferiorly that border the softer middle indentation spanned by the external oblique muscles. When contouring the waistline, the fat over the external oblique muscle is maximally removed in order to create an exaggerated curvature that is aesthetically desirable.

You will be able to return to work after 10 days following waistline narrowing surgery. In addition, patients are urged to return to full physical activity as soon as 2 weeks following high definition liposuction waistline narrowing.

Tummy tucks are required when there is significant skin laxity and in many cases, this is due to pregnancy. The other procedures should be no problem to perform in conjunction with one another, the bigger issue is finding the surgeon you want to work with. I suggest finding a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in these procedures. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full-body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of the degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome.

This has revolutionized the plastic surgery industry due to its ability to reach 30-40% more fat than traditional Liposuction procedures. One of my favorite applications of this is waistline narrowing. With VASER, we can contour that entire region and etch the flanks, abdomen, and thighs to accentuate an aesthetically pleasing hip ratio.

The ultimate option for you to have a transformative result for both your liposuction and BBL is the VASER liposuction technique. When performed by a VASER specialist, the results can be "jaw" dropping.
