There are some noninvasive options out there, but liposuction still produces the most noticeable results for fat reduction, other than diet and exercise. Skin removal can be achieved with tummy tuck.
non-surgical fat removal is not effective, unless we are referring to the good old diet and exercise. Laser Frost and any other non-surgical treatment out there (with whatever catchy name they use) is yet to deliver on it's miraculous promise
If your only concern is excess fat, then you could try dieting and exercising. If this doesn't work, then there are some nonsurgical treatments that may help but please note that results are not predictable and could take several sessions to achieve.
Thanks for your post. The old fashion way to get rid of fat is through diet and exercise. There are some clinics which offer medical weight loss options if you truly want to avoid surgery. If your problem is extra-loose skin, then tummy tuck is the best option. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo
Liposuction , and specifically laser liposuction, could be the answer. It is surgery but can be done with sedation rather than true anesthesia.
Coolsculpting might be for you. It really works but you need to hve the right expectations. It will remove about 25% of what can be done with lipo. The advantage is that there is little to no recovery. It will not tighten skin either. If there are certain areas that you can't improve with moderate dieting and some exercise go get a consultation.
Best is diet and exercise. There are some non-operative fat reducing modalities that are helpful in some patients. An evaluation with a plastic surgeon can help sort out whether you might be a good candidate. Without photos and more info, I wouldn't guess. Thanks, best wishes.
You will lose some abdominal fat with exercise and diet. If there is hanging skin and a separation of the midline muscles you need surgery in addition.
Thank you for the question, but without much more information including history, physical examination, and a full communication of your goals, it is not possible to give you accurate advice. You will be much better off seeking consultation in person with board-certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work helping patients similar to yourself and communicate your goals clearly. Be very careful about “nonsurgical” alternatives; you do not want to end up wasting your time or finances. Best wishes.
It would be helpful to see your preop photos, but am assuming that the lower abdomen was taking care of nicely. These upper rolls are more difficult to remove. I usually lipo them at the time of abdominoplasty and let everything heal, and then go back 3-6 months later and excise them directly....
I am not sure that you will be able to do the ZUMBA at full speed four weeks after surgery but you should be able to resume most of your pre operative activities
Two alcoholic drinks 9 days after tummy tuck likely will have no effect on wound healing or final results.
