What Does a Snatched Waist Mean, and How Can I Get One?

Traditionally, the hourglass shape has been considered a symbol of feminine beauty. Having one is a desirable trait, despite being so difficult or impossible to obtain unless one hits the genetic lottery.

Many patients consider the hip-to-waist ratio when it comes to plastic surgery and sculpting the ideal body. An hourglass shape usually depicts a woman with a defined, slim waistline that is narrower than the upper and lower areas of her body. 

If someone has an hourglass figure, they likely also possess a snatched waist. This feature refers to the waist shape that a compression garment or piece of tight-fitting clothing creates when fitting tightly against one's figure.   

Everyone's body type is different, but most people are genetically prone to having a rounder-shaped figure with more fat stored on the waist, belly, and flanks.

Genetics, high stress levels, hormone changes, and little sleep can contribute to you having a heavier midsection. Certain moments in life, such as a sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy, and the toll of age, can also change your body's proportions.

Nonetheless, there are strategies designed to change your body shape.

Liposuction Surgery Can Do The Job

Liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure that removes fat underneath the skin's surface, including the stomach, back, flanks, thighs, and any other area with excess fat that can be addressed.

Liposuction is designed to remove fat from areas resistant to a healthy diet and exercise lifestyle. While your genetics mostly determine whether you have an hourglass figure or snatched waist, this cosmetic procedure and its ability to sculpt areas of the body can help you get the silhouette you desire.

A snatched waist liposuction surgery involves placing incisions around the waistline to form an opening in which the cannula, a device used to suction out fat, is inserted.

Many forms of fat removal inject a saline solution into the fat beforehand. That way, the fat plumps up, becomes softer, and detaches from the surrounding tissue, making it much easier to remove with the cannula. Other variants sometimes use laser technology to prepare the fat. Nonetheless, there are many differences between different liposuction and other fat removal techniques, such as how sophisticated the cannula or handpiece is.
