There are many factors that cause fat to build up on your belly. You can gain a small bulge on your belly at any point in life, whether you are a man or a woman.

For men, fatty abdominal tissue could also have a hormonal cause. Indeed, between the ages of 45 and 60, men suffer a drop in their testosterone levels known as the andropause. As a result, they notice the appearance of bulges in the stomach that cannot be removed with exercise or a balanced diet.

This small bulge might also be caused by excessive weight loss or the opposite: a diet that is too high in calories thus, the body absorbs more calories than it expends and small bulges begin to appear around the belly.

What treatments can help you lose belly fat?

The abdomen is the area located between your thorax and your pelvis, and contains most of the digestive organs. It is made up of a number of zones that show whether you will be an ideal candidate for an operation. If the fat is located around the navel, it will be easier to treat that stubborn bulge. In this zone, the fat is soft and the skin is sufficiently elastic and retractable. On the other hand, if it is located around the intestines, it will be more difficult to treat. You are therefore advised to go on a diet before considering having an operation to remove belly fat.

There are several weight-loss techniques that are effective on belly fat.

If you have a prominent belly

If you are overweight with a large belly, we recommend liposuction to remove subcutaneous abdominal fat all in one go.

Individuals who are not too overweight can opt for soft liposuction, which is an operation that has less significant consequences than traditional liposuction.

For patients who do not want to undergo surgery, Coolsculpting is a good alternative.

If you have a small belly

If you have a small stomach with slightly loose skin, the doctor will suggest the Accent Prime method which combines ultrasound and radio frequency or the ONDA Coolwaves system which emits microwaves.

These different types of energy heat up the fatty tissue and remove fat via lipolysis, while stimulating the production of new collagen to tone cutaneous tissue.

You can undergo Accent Prime or ONDA Coolwaves as single treatments or in combination with a Coolsculpting session.
