Putting on a swimsuit or wearing tight-fitting clothes — having a nice body is often a desired goal.
Two types of fat are responsible for this aesthetic concern :
• Deep abdominal fat, which is linked to cardiovascular risk and is not accessible through medical techniques.
• Superficial subcutaneous fat, which can be treated with aesthetic procedures.
Men and women seek a harmonious body to conform to current beauty standards.
Medical and surgical techniques have been developed to meet patients' requests : to have a flat stomach, to have a flat stomach without surgery, to have a firm and smooth abdomen.
Comment perdre du ventre ? Il s’agit d’une préoccupation courante pour de nombreuses personnes cherchant à affiner leur silhouette. Le ventre est une zone où la graisse abdominale s’accumule facilement et peut être difficile à éliminer, même avec une alimentation saine et l’activité physique. En médecine esthétique, il existe des solutions non chirurgicales et efficaces
Techniques such as cryolipolysis and radiofrequency help to break down localized fat and firm the skin for a flat and toned abdomen. Personalized treatments make it possible to lose belly fat quickly and safely, without surgery or social downtime.
Fat accumulation in the abdominal area is due to three factors :
• An excessive intake of calories compared to the body’s needs : a diet that is too rich and limited physical activity.
• Genetics : some people tend to store fat in the abdominal area.
• Hormones : this is the case postpartum, during menopause, and in men after the age of fifty (when androgen levels drop).
During menopause, fat distribution changes : women shift from a gynoid body type (fat stored in the hips, buttocks, and thighs) to an android body type (fat stored in the abdominal area).
There are no real foods that “burn” belly fat. However, some foods support weight loss because they have a draining or fat-releasing effect, and they promote intestinal transit thanks to their fiber content.
These foods should be included in a healthy and varied diet — one that is rich in protein and healthy fats, and low in fast sugars and animal fat.
Foods that help burn abdominal fat include : lemon, apple, eggplant, cinnamon, pineapple, avocado, green tea, papaya.
In most cases, overall weight loss is necessary.
Exercise and a healthy, balanced diet are the best ways to achieve this goal.
Cardio training should be prioritized to burn as many calories as possible. It is best to choose full-body sports such as running, jump rope, or swimming.
Targeted exercises should be done in addition : crunches, planks, burpees.
During the information consultation, Dr. Romano will assess whether the patient is a good candidate for medical procedures or if surgery is the only solution.
A healthy and balanced diet, along with regular physical activity, should always accompany the treatments performed.
Often, even slim and physically active individuals may have a small belly. These patients are ideal candidates for medical techniques that allow fat reduction without surgery.
Cryolipolysis is a localized fat reduction technique using cold. The session is painless and requires no social downtime. Medical assessment is essential for the success of the treatment. In fact, intra-abdominal fat cannot be reduced with cryolipolysis. If there is significant skin laxity or poor skin elasticity in the fat fold, the patient is not a good candidate, as the skin will not retract. Results are visible one month after the session, with maximum results after three months. Depending on the thickness and location of the fat deposit, one to four applicators may be used and one to three sessions may be performed.
Radiofrequency for the abdomen is a skin-tightening technique, particularly recommended after volume loss in this area.
Unlike fat-reduction methods, radiofrequency does not eliminate fat deposits, but it is ideal for firming and tightening the skin after slimming.
By stimulating collagen production, this method restores firmness and elasticity to loose skin, thus improving the appearance of the abdomen and reducing folds or sagging.
This technique is indicated in cases of mild skin laxity of the abdomen, associated with a small fat deposit.
Significant skin laxity is an indication for surgery.
