What is Abdominal Fat?
Stomach fat (at times also referred to as belly fat), is the excess fat that accumulates around the midsection of the body – on both the lower abdomen and upper abdomen. Fat on the stomach can feel malleable and superficial, sitting just under the skin, this is called subcutaneous fat which is suitable for treatment with Vaser liposuction. If the fat is deeper surrounding your internal organs, this is called visceral fat and it is unable to be treated with liposuction.
What Causes Stomach Fat?
The accumulation of fat on the lower and upper abdomen can be attributed to various factors including:
- Genetics
- Diet
- Lifestyle
- Age
Eating high-calorie, low-nutrition foods, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and hormonal changes are common contributors to the development of excess abdominal fat.
How to Reduce Stomach Fat
Reducing fat in the lower and upper abdomen often involves a combination of regular exercise, particularly cardiovascular and strength training exercises, and a balanced diet. It’s also important to manage stress levels and get adequate sleep as these lifestyle factors can also influence weight gain. However, if you’ve attempted a diet and lifestyle change, have had your hormones/stress levels checked, and are still unable to get rid of your stomach fat, you might be a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction.
About Abdominal Liposuction
Abdominal liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and remove excess stomach fat using Vaser liposuction. This surgical technique uses ultrasound technology to break apart fat in the treatment area before these excess fat cells are removed via suction. Suitable candidates have the option to discuss combining abdominal liposuction with other areas of concern, including flanks liposuction, arm liposuction, or thigh liposuction during the consultation process with the doctor.
