How do I get rid of the pouch without surgery? (Photo)

Question

I have been doing exercise and eating healthy but can't get rid of stomach pouch/fat per photo.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

You may be a good candidate for a non invasive fat reduction procedure called cool sculpting. Please find an experienced clinic. Regards,

It is important to understand that while diet and exercise are vitally important to maintain overall body fat at healthy levels, there are no exercises or diets that "spot reduce" or tighten skin. That is the reason why we do procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks. Nonsurgical options for localized fat reduction include focused ultrasound such as Liposonix, and freezing with Coolsculpting.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph.  It looks as if you are doing quite well with your diet and exercise regimen and I would continue to use these to work towards your goals.  If this stomach pouch does not continue to improve you can pursue minimally invasive methods of fat removal or liposuction to enhance your results.  Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Based on the photos provided, you appear to be in good shape. I suggest continuing a strict diet and exercise regimen. Coolsculpting may be an option to treat your stubborn abdominal fat. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. Hope this helps and good luck.

You might be a candidate for CoolSculpting which freezes the fat and then the fat cells die. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic surgeon for an evaluation to find out what options are available to you!Good luck.
