I am fairly healthy and at a healthy weight. I do my best to eat healthy and exercise a minimum of 4 times a week. My weight has varied while growing up, and in the past I've even been deemed "underweight". Regardless of my diet, weight, and activity level, I've always had a pot belly. I noticed my mother always had as well, even when she herself was underweight. Is there anything that I can do? I'm now 30 years old and have not had any children. Thank you for any suggestions.

Answer: Why do I always have a pot belly? Genetics can play a big part in our appearance. You seem to have some laxity of your abdominal muscle tone as well as a centralized excess of fat around your mid abdomen. Core abdominal strengthening exercises can help improve your muscle tone and will do more for you than sit ups. If you cannot lose the excess fat, you can consider having liposuction to thin the fat layer. You could also have a tummy tuck with tightening of the muscles, but I would not recommend this now unless you are certain that you are not wanting to have children in the future.

Answer: Why do I always have a pot belly? Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. This is the surgical procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied, it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain. Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery, that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed performing a thigh lift…
