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

Doctor's Answer

The key question is whether you prefer a Non-surgical or Surgical method of localised Fat Reduction.

Both methods have their Pros & Cons.

To make an informed decision, the main considerations are:

1. Post-procedure Recovery time

2. Need for Anesthesia (General anesthesia/ Sedation)

3. Experience of doctor

4. Risk of Complications

5. Need for Repeat treatments

6. Price

Based on the information that you have given about yourself, one suitable treatment is Cryolipolysis.

This technology was made famous by the patented medical device named Coolsculpting.

I feel that this treatment is ideal for you because you have small to moderate areas of fat.

Pros:

  • This technology can achieve up to 20% reduction in fat cells per treatment.
  • There is no need for general anaesthesia/deep sedation and there is minimal post-procedure recovery time needed.

Cons:

  • Multiple treatment sessions might be needed to achieve your final desired result.

Hope that you find this useful. Please contact a doctor for a detailed consultation to find out more!

Best regards,

Dr Justin Boey
