How to get rid of belly fat due to menopause?

Hormonal changes can alter the way the body stores and distributes
fat. Understand that liposuction and tummy tucks are body contouring
procedures, not weight loss procedures. They are intended to fine tune your
figure and address specific problem areas. My advice would be to work on losing
weight and reassess how you feel about your body once you are at or very near
your target weight. If you still feel there are problem areas that aren’t
responding to diet and exercise or there’s excess skin that bothers you, then
visiting a qualified surgeon to discuss lipo and/or a tummy tuck can help you
reach your goals.

Hello and thank you for your question. Menopause can really turn your world upside down! Metabolism slows down and hormones rule. Unfortunately hormones can increase belly fat which can be addressed by diet and exercise. I suggest you contact a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and have an evaluation. The PS will give you his/her recommendations and point you in the best direction for your best health. #menopause  #weightgain  #PSevaluation

Thank you for your question. It has been well documented that menopause is associated with a slower metabolism and weight gain. If a strict diet and exercise do not help you lose this weight, there are several surgical options. If you do not have significant excess skin, liposuction alone could be performed. If you have excess skin along with the abdominal fat, a tummy tuck would be the appropriate procedure. I often combine liposuction with a tummy tuck to achieve the best results.Without seeing your photos, it is hard to say which option is best for you. I always recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who commonly performs these procedures for proper advice. Good luck.

It's not fair that menopause contributes to slower metabolism and slow weight gain with loss of shapely curves.  And in spite of diet and exercise, these areas are extremely difficult to lose.While not for weight loss, but to remove problem areas of fat, Vaser ultrasound liposuction is ideal and offers skin tightening. Other skin tightening modalities such as smart lipo, thermi tight may be necessary.An an exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Photos or physical exam preferable, but it sounds like liposuction alone may be all you need. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck!
