How can I get rid of a tummy bulge that won't go away despite exercise and dieting?

Doctor's Answer

Many people have areas that no matter what t they can't seem to lose fat from these stubborn areas. These patients are very good candidates for liposuction or liposculpture. Sculpting of the stubborn areas can be performed by sucking out the fat in these areas and shaping your body into a more athletic and appealing shape. The fat can even be used to make other areas bigger!

Other causes of a bulge in your tummy would need to be excluded first by a clinical examination. Things such as intraabdominal visceral fat, hernias or muscle separation could be the cause of your stubborn bulge.

Other options include non-invasive methods of fat reduction, the good thing about them is that they are non-invasive, however, they are not as effective as liposuction to permanently remove fat. A clinical examination is also needed to assess your suitability for these treatments.
