When Exercise isn’t enough – top 3 choices for thinning your midsection

When Exercise isn’t enough – top 3 choices for thinning your midsection

Sometimes even after strictly following programs for exercises or even observing proper nutrition, you may still have some trouble areas of your body with localized fat deposits. To make it even worse, after weight loss you may be left with loose sagging skin especially in the abdomen and the waist areas. If you have tried it all but your midsection still won’t thin, there are still some more options left for you to achieve your goals. At www.bodybybloch.com, you can find Dr. Bloch, a highly qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who can perform the right cosmetic surgery procedure for you.

Tummy tuck

If the abdomen is the trouble area of your body where you have excess fat and loose skin, Dr. Bloch is an expert in performing tummy tuck surgeries. You will especially be a good candidate for a tummy tuck surgery if there is excess skin that does not have good elasticity. Depending on the degree of your problem and change required, the doctor will make an incision either across your lower abdomen, or an incision running from hipbone to hipbone. The abdominal skin is then lifted off to access and remove excess fats. Abdominal wall muscles may also need to be tightened and the navel repositioned before trimming excess skin and closing the incisions.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the best surgical procedure to thin your midsection if you have excess fat and not too much loose skin or the skin has good elasticity. This is because liposuction is a surgical procedure that only removes the excess fat. The loose skin must still be able to contract and conform to a new body contour after the fat removal. Dr. Bloch make small incisions while the patient is under anesthesia, and through the incisions a cannula is inserted. Back and forth movements are made with the cannula to disrupt fat deposits, and then the liquefied fat is suctioned using a surgical vacuum or syringe. The incisions are then closed dressing applied as required.

Laser liposuction

Deepening on the results you want to achieve, Dr. Bloch may recommend laser liposuction instead of the traditional liposuction technique discussed above. Incisions for laser liposuction are made in the same manner as for liposuction, but the only thing that changes is the use of laser technology. Laser energy in this case is used to liquefy fat which makes it easier to suction them out using a cannula and attached surgical vacuum or syringe. Laser liposuction also has the added advantage of skin tightening during recovery. That may further improve the sliming of your midsection.

Medical considerations

Some people should not have plastic surgery because of certain medical risks. These groups include:

    • persons recovering from a heart attack, severe infection (for example, pneumonia), or other serious illnesses
    • people with infectious hepatitis or HIV infections
    • individuals with cancer whose cancer might spread (metastasize)
    • people who are extremely overweight (Individuals who are more than 30% overweight should not have liposuction.)
    • persons with blood clotting disorders

Normal results

Normal results include an individual’s recovery from the surgery with satisfactory results and without complications.
