Liposuction for a Sculpted Waist

A key feature of an hourglass figure is a well-defined waist. Liposuction is a highly effective procedure for removing stubborn fat deposits around the midsection, helping to create a slimmer, more contoured waistline. Liposuction enhances natural curves and improves body proportions by selectively removing fat in areas such as the flanks and abdomen.

Brazilian Butt Lift for Curvier Hips

For those looking to add volume to their hips and buttocks, Brazilian butt lift (BBL) can be the ideal solution. This procedure uses a patient’s own fat, harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. BBL adds fullness and creates smoother transitions between the waist, hips, and lower body, enhancing the hourglass silhouette.

Breast Augmentation for Upper Body Balance

Achieving an hourglass figure often involves enhancing the upper body to balance wider hips. Breast augmentation with implants or fat transfer can help create a more proportional look by increasing the size and shape of the bust. Dr. Krau customizes each breast augmentation procedure to ensure natural-looking results that complement a patient’s body type and aesthetic goals.

Tummy Tuck for a Flat, Toned Midsection

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is another procedure that contributes to an hourglass figure by tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced pregnancy or significant weight loss, as it restores a firmer, smoother contour to the midsection.

Some women develop this body shape naturally, while others rely on cosmetic procedures to achieve this goal.

For anyone who’d like to have an hourglass figure, Dr. Ary Krau shares which cosmetic procedures can be performed to achieve this body shape.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery can help patients achieve an hourglass figure by expanding the projection of their breasts, thus making their waist appear smaller. Breast augmentation involves placing implants in the breasts, giving them a fuller, rounder shape.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift is a procedure in which patients’ own fat is used to increase the size of the butt and improve its shape to create flattering hourglass curves.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin from the patient’s stomach and reconstructs the abdominal wall. Tummy tucks result in a tighter, smoother and flatter stomach and an improved abdominal contour.

Liposuction

Liposuction is another means of improving a patient’s body contour. During liposuction, stubborn fat cells are permanently broken up and removed from patients’ bodies, most often from their abdomen, hips, waist, and thighs.

Combining Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

Each of these procedures can improve the appearance of a person’s body. However, for many patients, none of the procedures are as effective at creating an hourglass contour on their own as when the procedures are combined.

Tummy tucks flatten the patient’s stomach but they don’t necessarily give them an hourglass silhouette. To achieve that, patients also need targeted liposuction.

This combination of a tummy tuck and targeted liposuction is often referred to as an hourglass tummy tuck and it provides patients with the benefits of both procedures.

An hourglass tummy tuck gets rid of excess skin and firms the patient’s abdomen. Plus, it removes fat cells from select areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks and lower back, the goal being a smaller, more defined waist.

The removed fat is then purified and transferred to the patient’s hips for a rounder, curvier appearance. The resulting waist-to-hip ratio is the hallmark of an hourglass figure.

With an hourglass tummy tuck, patients get a more defined waist, a flatter stomach, and beautifully contoured hips, creating the sexy hourglass figure they desire.

Over time, the body’s supply of collagen and elastin — two proteins necessary for elastic skin — starts to dwindle. The lack of collagen and elastin cause the skin on the entire body, including the arms, to loosen and sag. The forces of gravity also pull the skin on the arms downward. Fluctuations in weight (especially rapidly gaining and losing weight) compound the sagging and drooping of the arm skin and tissues.

Because of these elements, the skin on the upper arms can hang and droop unattractively. Some casually refer to this problem as “bat wings.” Targeted exercises for the biceps or triceps won’t improve the appearance, because exercise cannot tighten loose skin. Some people feel self-conscious of the appearance of their arms in short sleeves, and try to cover up their arms in long-sleeved shirts and jackets. Dr. Ary Krau, a board-certified plastic surgeon in South Florida, has a better solution.

Understanding the Treatment Options

There is no reason to wear long-sleeved tops year-round to conceal bat wings. Several options are available to improve the appearance of saggy, flabby arms.

One of the most popular options is a procedure called brachioplasty, or arm lift, which is designed to eliminate lax, droopy skin and tighten loose tissues. The result is leaner, more elegant looking arms. Brachioplasty is typically recommended to individuals that have had significant weight fluctuations — especially those that have had weight loss surgery and lost substantial weight in a short amount of time.

During the arm lift procedure, an incision is made from the elbow to the armpit. Loose skin is eliminated and the tissues are tightened and lifted to create a more attractive contour. Liposuction is also used to remove targeted fat deposits on the upper arms.

In some cases, liposuction alone can produce satisfactory results. For example, if the patient is primarily worried about pockets of fat and does not have significant laxity in the arm skin, liposuction is a suitable option.

Contact Dr. Ary Krau

The person best qualified to determine the appropriate procedure is a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Krau. He encourages men and women that are bothered by the appearance of their arms to meet with him and discuss their concerns in person. He can examine the arms and recommend the best treatment option.
