Can Liposuction Make My Waist Smaller? Evaluating Your Best Choices

Patients often ask if it's possible or realistic to reduce a waist-size with liposuction. While liposuction can be an effective method of sculpting several of the body, there's no straightforward answer to the question.

The ideal candidates for liposuction patients are close to their average weight and size but report that exercise and diet haven't toned areas such as the waist and abdomen. Liposuction is ideal for these patients since it isn't a weight-loss tool, but it's designed to reduce pockets of fat in problem areas.

It's important to also note that liposuction isn't designed to tighten loose skin. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and it consists of placing incisions around the treatment area, then using a cannula to remove the fat.

After the procedure, patients should wear a compression garment for about a month to deal with swelling and bruising. 

Can Liposuction Reduce Waist Size?

Liposuction can improve your silhouette and reduce waist size because the process consists of sculpting certain body areas. That's why liposuction is generally referred to as liposculpture.

It's common for patients to focus on an area of the body that is out of proportion with the rest, and removing excess fat can help counteract those issues. 

Nevertheless, remember that liposuction is only designed to remove excess fat. It can reduce your waist size if there's much fat surrounding the area, but it also depends on your internal bone structure.

Your genetics dictate your bone structure, which could be why you have a wide waist, meaning that no matter how lean you get in your midsection, the width of the area will not reduce.
