How would you lose the apron fat without having to do surgery?

If you have had pregnancy, weight gain and loss, or both you likely have loose skin.  Stretch marks usually conform that the skin has been damaged and has a very low ability to shrink back to its original size after liposuction alone.  While new therapies like Vaser, SmartLipo, Thermage, may seem appealing because of the lack of surgery, my experience has been that they fall far short in delivering desirable results in patients with skin damaged by pregnancy and weight loss. They are also not cheap.See several board-certified plastic surgeons in your area to learn more about your options.

Liposuction Versus Tummy TuckEnergy based liposuction like VASER, ThermiRF, SmartLipo do well for skin retraction and contouring of the body. If you have a lot of loose skin or stretch marks, surgery is best option with or without lipocontouring. I suggest you see a body sculpting physician for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Although liposuction might thin the large drape, the best solution would be removal of the excess fat as well as the excess skin. The expenses a lengthy incision across the lower abdomen but most patients this is aesthetically a very acceptable trade-off.

Thanks for your question -Non-invasive techniques like cool sculpting can make small differences without the need for surgery.  Liposuction usually produces more dramatic results in localized fat reduction with small incisions.However, usually the term "apron" usually refers to excess skin and fat over the abdomen.  Hanging skin usually actually gets worse with substantial reduction in fat. Unfortunately, there's not a great non-surgical way to get rid of excess skin - and that may be a substantial part of your problem.Be sure to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon!I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. In general apron means pannus. Only surgery can correct by excising. If you do not have that amount you can try non invasive skin tightening devices. I will recommend to see a PS for evaluation.

If the primary issue is fat, then liposuction is the gold standard. When there is excess skin involved, an abdominoplasty is typically needed. Non-surgical treatments are substantially limited and typically have low patient satisfaction.To get an accurate answer to your question, I suggest you consult in person with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.

"Removal" of fat is, by its very definition, a surgical process. Otherwise there is diet and exercise. But taking the fat out of an apron just makes it more saggy, better to remove the whole structure in most cases.
