Liposuction, flat stomach (Belly)...?
960921
Liposuction and Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

A flat stomach won't appear overnight and it does take a lot of hard work. Unfortunately you can not just spot reduce your stomach, and sit-ups and crunches alone will not get you the results that you are seeking.  In order to slim it down and make it flat, you must reduce the fat in and around this area.  I would suggest that you minimize consumption of fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugars, and eat a healthy balanced diet. \n\nAlso maybe start a good, low intensity cardio program, like walking or slow jogging, to help you lose fat instead of just burning calories.  Pilate's and Yoga are very good for core strengthening, which will also help you gain a flat stomach. \n\nSlower, controlled movements are much better than rapid/quick actions like with fast sit ups. Try and focus more on your form and technique rather than how many you can do, and you will see results faster. Try and vary your exercises daily, so that you don't get to bored. Also, a belly ball is a very good investment. \n\nMost importantly, try to keep a positive attitude and definitely make sure to keep a positive body image.  I don't know why you are seeking a flat stomach but here's something to think about for a moment; Intelligence, paired with a good attitude, and a gentle smile, always projects self confidence, and looks amazing in pretty much anything you wear.\n \nHope I was helpful!\n\nGood luck!

It's actually a common problem for anyone who has had a dramatic weight loss. The part your doc went wrong was not making you aware of this in the beginning. My sister went in for gastric bypass surgery, and the first thing they told her about was the excess skin. She's currently saving up for cosmetic surgery. I had the same problem after I had my second son. My chest was 32c before I had my son, and by the time that he was born they were a 42DD. After I stopped producing milk, they shrunk back to their old size only they hung like two water balloons in tube socks lol. I did have surgery done to bring them back up. It took me a year to save up the money for the surgery. But I couldn't be happier. So try throwing all your extra change in a coffee can, cut out the unnecessary things in your life (like I cut out my Starbucks coffee and cigarettes) and put that money in the can. Before you know it you'll have the money to get it done.

I have not had it done, but have 2 women friends that have. Both had extreme "flab" in their belly...one from being overweight and the other from carrying a very large baby.\n\nBoth women were VERY glad they had the procedure done, although do listen to your doctor and do what s/he says regarding aftercare. It takes a while to get back on  your feet and walking upright again...\n\n...but for those with more belly skin than can be tightened up with traditional exercises, a tuck is the way to go.\n\nGood luck and I hope the results are what you are seeking!

You could do 10,000 per day, every day, for a month and unless you raise your heart rate high enough, for a long enough period to burn the fat around your belly, it's not going to be flat or defined.\n\nEveryone, repeat everyone, has a six-pack.  It's just covered by abdominal fat.  Abdominal exercises, particularly ones using some form of resistance, will increase the definition and separation of the stomach muscles.  However, if you never did a single sit-up, crunch, or whatever you would still have a six-pack stomach as long as you were able to get rid of the fat surrounding your belly through diet and exercise.\n\nIn general (genetics and age will determine the exact ratio for each person), your flat belly is determined 80% by what you eat and 20% by how well and how often you work out.

If you are looking only for a flat stomach, I would suggest doing a lot of cardiovascular exercise.  Do cardio 5-6 times a week with about 45 minutes sessions at moderate/high intensity (switching during intervals).\n\nIf you want to tone your stomach, do crunches, pelvic tilts, and twisting exercises holding weight plate with both hands to build your obliques too.  I would avoid leg lifts unless your back can handle them.  It can put undue stress on your back.  Also, I would suggest strengthing your back too.  It will help balance your abdominals.

Unfortunately you cant just lose fat from your abdomen and nowhere else. This is a myth called 'spot reduction'. \nJust doing abdominal exercises will not get you a flat toned stomach or sixpack, a combination of cardio, resistance exercises and a healthy diet will, but this will apply to the whole of your body and ultimetly comes down to percentage body fat and calorie expenditure.

The one and only just walk, keep walking and don't eat too much in a couple of weeks you'll see the difference, and don't believe too much the sit ups, it cause wrinkles in the abdominal skin..☺

Well first off, Liposuction will not take off anywhere near 10-15 lbs. It'll probably only take off 3-4. What liposuction does is resculpt your body. And the prices vary depending on where you want it done. You said you want it around the middle. In the US, that'll run you anywhere between $3,000-$7,500.  You could go to other countries to get it done cheaper. I live in Tunisia and had a friend who had her whole abdomnen aqnd hips done for 1,500 Dinars ( $1,139.99 US Dollars). \n\nAlso, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or the fat will come back, and come back in a double quantity. \n\nGood luck with your decision.

Yes, you should keep your abdomen tight so it is flat and then use the muscles in your lower back to pull the back of your waist forward.  This will also let your butt fill out your jeans nicely.  If not ...your butt will be flat and from the side view you will not have the curves.   \n\n  So , shoulders back , head up, tummy flat, back in, butt out ..\nthere you go, now you got it !!!

Hey, I hear ya.  Start doing some cadio to uncover the layer of flab; then do crunches for the top of your abs, and leg raises for the lower part of your abdomen.  And keep going on the diet.  The 30 minutes of cardio 3 or 4 times a week are just as important as the crunches and leg raises. ok?  goodluck:)Oh, you can do the cardio and the crunches together.  Just alternate days; that's what I do.:)

Crunches will make your belly look better and improve your posture. However, they won't get rid of the fat over or under the muscles. Aerobic exercise (walking, running, etc) will burn up those fat cells. Even liposuction can't get rid of all belly fat, only the fat near the surface of the lower belly. So start reducing caloric intake,huffing and puffing, and then start the crunches!

You could have surgery like liposuction...\n\nBut still, you really need exercise to maintain the weight that you lost because if you have surgery but dont exercise, you'll get fat again. :(\n\nYou can also try slimming pills and tablets but make sure that it is safe and approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs. :)

No. Try exercise and lay off the fatty foods; sit-ups, crunches, walking, running, stretching, cardio exercise, resistance exercise...all are great for flattening your abdomen. There are tons of evercise programs on line and places for women, who have the same problem as you, to work out at all over the place.\n\nGood luck.
