Enhance Your Hourglass Figure
2 Minute Read:
Many women work endlessly to keep their figures looking trim and sculpted, and every one of them understands how hard it can be to maintain this desire with busy lives, genetics, aging, and less-than-healthy diets getting in the way. This already difficult task is only made worse when keeping your body slim is only one part of the challenge.
For many women, the contour of the body is just as important as how thin it is, and an hourglass figure is still considered to be an ideal shape. If you desire an hourglass figure but have difficulty in attaining it, cosmetic surgery may be able to help. At Spring Ridge Plastic Surgery, we offer a series of procedures that target all of the right places.
Slim the Waist
Much like the name suggests, an hourglass figure resembles the object itself: curves in the hips and bust that surround a narrow waist. To achieve this narrow waist through cosmetic surgery, many women opt for liposuction of the abdomen. Various liposuction techniques allow for different levels of fat removal. During this procedure, excess and unwanted fat cells are suctioned through a thin, hollow tube and safely removed from the body.
By narrowing the abdomen and the waist, you can highlight the separation of the waist and hips and start to achieve the central part of the hourglass frame.
Enhance the Surrounding Features
Liposuction is not only the first step to achieving an hourglass frame through cosmetic surgery, but it is also the most important one. Liposuction removes unwanted fat cells, and once they are gone, you have two options: you can say goodbye to the fat for good, or you can use the fat to your advantage. Along with a narrow waist, an hourglass figure involves attaining curves on the bustline and the buttocks. Adding volume to these features can be done in two ways.
The first is through the use of breast implants. While implants are a useful and long-lasting way to achieve added volume, they are a separate procedure from the liposuction that you have already undergone.
The second option to gain volume is through fat transfer. Fat transfer is an entirely natural way to increase the size of the breasts or the buttocks, and the best part of fat transfer in this situation is that you already have all the materials necessary. Fat grafting is a two-step process that removes fat from one area of the body and places it into another. You have already removed the fat cells from the abdomen, so now they might as well be added to the breasts or buttocks to reach your desired level of curves to finalize your hourglass figure.
