The surgery incorporates a traditional tummy tuck to address excess skin in the belly, as well as liposuction to remove fat from the belly, love handles and lower back. This fat is then transferred to the thighs, creating a more prominent hip-to-waist ratio for an hourglass shape.
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.
Liposuction and BBL are two surgeries that can sculpt your body into an hourglass figure. Liposuction can add definition to your waist, while BBL can harvest the fat cultivated from liposuction to add volume to your hips and butt.
If your body has excess fat deposits at the waist (also called love handles or hip rolls), your plastic surgeon can remove them with liposuction. This procedure slims the waist, giving patients the essential component of an hourglass figure.

The marble trick involves placing a marble inside your belly button after the incisions have completely healed. A small piece of tape holds the marble in place for a specific amount of time each day. The idea behind this is that the belly button will heal around the marble, creating the perfect size and shape.
Umbilicoplasty is a great option for patients who are unhappy with their belly button after they have fully healed form their tummy tuck procedure. This cosmetic procedure is common after pregnancy or tummy tuck. It gives the belly button a more vertical (versus horizontal), aesthetically pleasing shape.
It could take more than 6 months for you to get the right figure but keep working out, take good care of your health and wait for the results.
Liposuction may be for you! Fat is removed by a cannula from stubborn areas such as your flanks and tummy. This procedure allows the surgeon to contour your body and give you a more curvy appearance.
Liposuction is arguably the number one body contouring procedure for people who are looking for a slim and narrow waistline. Through this cosmetic treatment, plastic surgeons are able to remove stubborn pockets of fat from different parts of the body including the flanks, abdomen, thighs, and back.
Liposuction is frequently combined with abdominoplasty, also called a tummy tuck, if you are looking to address excess skin and/or separated abdominal muscles in addition to stubborn fat. This combination treatment can also help you achieve that hourglass shape.
A traditional Tummy Tuck only removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, while an Hourglass Tummy Tuck focuses on contouring the abdomen by removing both excess skin and stubborn fat to create curves.

How does a tummy tuck affect my waistline? A properly performed tummy tuck can reduce your waist size and help you feel confident about your curves again. Some patients may lose many inches off their waist, while others will see more subtle results. It all depends on how much tissue can be removed safely.

While we sometimes have a patient use a soft rubber ring or belly button marble after tummy tuck revision to help maintain shape in cases where there is extreme scarring or contracture to repair, this is something you should leave up to your surgeon!
The natural belly button is removed completely at the same time, because its new location ends up much lower than before and it would look very strange to have a navel set that far down. This is why your tummy tuck surgeon creates a new belly button.
The surgeon tightened the muscles optimally, but you were too active after surgery and stretched the muscles during repair, which resulted in the protrusion. Lie flat on your back. If the stomach is flat, re-tightening of the muscle surgically will help. If the stomach is protruding, you need to lose weight.
