Having their bodies resemble an hourglass is a dream many women share. An hourglass figure contributes immensely to the personality of an individual, it makes them look and feel better. In this shape, the waist is the narrowest part of the entire physique.

You can, of course, take a gym membership to get an hourglass physique in months or years sometimes. Or you can opt for a cosmetic surgery that offers you an hourglass figure in just a few hours. The surgery involves getting rid of fat from the waist, abdominal muscles, lower back, and breasts by means of liposuction

And not to worry, the procedure takes around 2-4 hours so you can get back to your normal routine in 4-5 days.

The procedure -

Vaser technology is used in this method. The basic component used in this method is sound – it melts fat inside the body, contracts the skin and causes almost zero bleeding during the procedure. 

The process begins with the surgeon marking the areas from which fat needs removal. The next step is fat emulsification through Vaser following which liposuction is used to get rid of the fat. This fat may be injected in buttocks, breasts, or elsewhere in the body to make the waist appear narrow.

Post-procedure - 

A pressure garment or corset is necessary to be worn after the procedure for 6-7 weeks. This helps to reduce the post-operative swelling. Physiotherapy and deep tissue ultrasound can also help in this regard. 

The results of the surgery will become evident after 3 weeks from the day of surgery. For the results to appear, it may take 3-4 months.

Remember that you need to eat healthily and follow a strict exercise routine so that the fat you lose don’t end up coming back.

If you think you require this surgery then schedule an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon. The surgeon can also answer any queries you may have.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
