Will the pooch ever go away with diet and exercise only ? My upper body and shoulders and back has gotten nice and defined , m upper abs have some definition but can't seem to get rid of the pooch in lower abdomen which is also numb after the surgery. Considered lipo but afraid , it's getting frustrating cuz I work out really hard and eat really well , what am I missing ? I'm also a pear shape , 5'4 , 148 lbs early 30's

Answer: Nikkitri tummy pooch While I applaud your efforts (I am a triathlete as I believe you are), you should know that there are some issues that are NOT correctable with ANY amount of diet and exercise--namely "the pooch," which is very common after surgery like C-section, myomectomy, or hysterectomy. This is simply NOT just a "fat" issue, which would be amenable to diet and exercise. You really need to have an in person consultation with a BCPS for proper evaluation. The good news is (although surgery is required) a flat and tight tummy can be achieved for the majority of women!! Feel free to contact for more information. Good luck!

Answer: Lower abdomen Without any photos it is hard to answer your question. If the "pooch" as you describe it is mostly loose skin with a little fat, then chances are it will remain. Do you notice it changing at all with your efforts? If you do, then it should continue to change, but it may not be at a rate you are happy with. I would recommend a visit with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation and to learn about your options. Best of luck.
