Doctor clarifies belly fat removal limits
Irina Vasilienko, a cosmetic surgery specialist, explains that achieving a flat stomach doesn't rely solely on diet and exercise; it is also influenced by the condition of the skin and muscles, as well as posture, especially after pregnancy. She notes that a protruding abdomen after childbirth can persist even after returning to previous weight due to skin stretching or separation of abdominal muscles. While abdominal exercises strengthen the muscles, they do not remove stored fat in the area. She also clarifies that in some cases, a protruding belly results from excess skin after significant weight loss, and losing more weight does not help in such situations. Additionally, she mentions that sometimes the issue with the belly can be related to lumbar lordosis (exaggerated inward curvature of the lower back).
