Working on weight lost but really want my stomach flat again and my pouch gone.....what can I do?
Answer: Surgery Needed To Best Address Aesthetic Goals It’s not unusual for patients to have significant changes in their bodies following pregnancy.These changes are especially noticeable in the abdomen where they can cause fat accumulation, redundant saggy skin, weakened stretched abdominal muscles and stretch marks.Unfortunately, it’s impossible to treat changes of this magnitude without performing an abdominoplasty. Although Zerona, Lasers, Coolsculpting and Thermage can all be used to treat minor contour irregularities, they all have significant limitations.For these reasons, patients who have significant contour irregularities should consult a board certified plastic surgeon.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses anatomic findings and achieves aesthetic goals.In the majority of cases, this will require abdominoplasty.

Answer: Non surgical tummy tuck mons reduction pubic reduction diet exercise coolscultping Hi, iwnt2losete Thank you for your questions regarding the non-surgical removal of a pouch and stomach fat from 3 c-sections. This is a very common question. The best non-surgical treatment to remove your abdomen and stomach fat would be a high protein diet with low carbs and exercise. It is as simple as that. I would suggest doing as much walking as possible. Since you have had three c-sections, your abdominal skin has been stretched. Your skin has difficulty bouncing back because of your pregnancies. I would suggest you do conscientious eating right and exercising for six months. If after six months, your abdominal has not resolved, I would suggest you reconsider your abdomen. Because of your pregnancy history, I do not think coolsculpting, Zerona, thermage, will improve your abdomen. However, a more thorough in person examination will be needed to make a thorough analysis. When seeking any plastic surgery procedure, please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with many years of experience. If you have any questions regarding body contouring or plastic surgery, call my office. Thanks Thank you, Dr. Timothy Katzen

Answer: What is the Best Non Surgical Procedure to Remove my Pouch and Stomach Fat from 3 C-sections? It's a great question. Noninvasive fat removal offers minor results, which works for some people. However, for the most dramatic body contouring there is nothing that matches a liposuction procedure. If you're considering a non-invasive procedure check out the patient reviews on realself to make sure that you like the reviews as well as the before-and-after photos posted by people have had the exact same treatment.

Answer: Non-surgical Procedures That is a great question. It depends on what your pouch is made of. If there is lose skin and muscle separation then there is NO non surgical alternative. A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess skin and tighten muscles. Now if you have stubborn fat and pretty good skin quality then I encourage you to research Coolscultping. Cold suctions are placed on several areas of the tummy to freeze fat cells. It is recommended to target specific areas in two office visits to achieve the best rests. Good luck in your search.

Answer: What is the Best Non Surgical Procedure to Remove my Pouch and Stomach Fat from 3 C-sections? Thank you for the question. For patients who present with abdominal wall muscle laxity after pregnancy and/or weight gain/loss, there is no good noninvasive modality to improve their situation. This includes cool sculpting, which targets diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue ( assuming good overlying skin elasticity). Although there are a lot of gimmicks that come and go, there is no good alternative to tummy tuck surgery to remove excess skin/adipose tissue and tighten abdominal wall muscles after pregnancy or weight loss. Be careful: if it sounds too good to be true, it is! Best wishes.
