Belly fat is notoriously challenging to get rid of, even when following a healthy diet and exercise plan. If you find yourself wondering why you can’t seem to get the tight, toned abs you want, despite your best efforts in the gym and kitchen, one or more of these plastic surgery treatments for belly fat could be right for you.
1. Liposuction
Perhaps one of the most well-known plastic surgeries for belly fat removal is liposuction. This popular body contouring procedure can remove excess subcutaneous fat in nearly any area of your body, including your stomach, hips and waist.
However, liposuction does have its limitations and cannot treat deeper visceral fat. Thus, liposuction should be paired with a healthy eating and exercise routine for optimal results.
2. Tummy Tuck
Sometimes, a “belly pooch” isn’t necessarily caused by excess fat. A condition called diastasis recti causes the abdominal muscles to separate, which can make your belly protrude or stick out. A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that can repair separated muscle tissue and remove loose or sagging skin in the abdominal area to create a sleeker, more toned physique.
Liposuction is commonly combined with a tummy tuck to also address any stubborn belly fat that may be a concern.
3. CoolSculpting®
If you want a flatter, more toned stomach but aren’t ready for or don’t want surgery, nonsurgical CoolSculpting could be just what you are looking for. CoolSculpting works by freezing and destroying targeted fat cells, aiding you in your fitness journey without the need for extensive recovery or downtime.
