Bye-Bye ‘Beer Belly’
By admin | July 27, 2010
If only diet and exercise could reduce fat in every single area of the body! Literally, there’s a slim chance of this happening.
Unfortunately, many people are cursed with having excess fat deposits on their bodies, specifically surrounding their abdomens. As the warm season shines down upon us, the desire to gain a flatter, better-contoured stomach becomes more intense. Many people want a firm belly, and they want it now! But because there are many reasons as to why fat just sits there, causing the stomach to fall over the belt line and stick out on the sides (which is considered “subcutaneous fat,” as it sits outside the abdominal wall versus “visceral fat,” which sits inside the abdominal wall), getting rid of it is not easy.
Women aren’t the only ones who desire a more svelte shape in the midsection – men want to feel more confident and look good too. According to a recent Dallas News article, titled “Men, here’s how to send belly fat packing,” some of the other main reasons why “beer bellies” and “love handles” may develop are due to “genetics, inactivity, age, smoking – and, of course, alcohol.” Over-eating is also a culprit of gaining weight in the stomach.
Reducing the amount of fat in this area should not only be done for cosmetic enhancement; excess belly fat is also correlated with health risks. With the link between increased risk of heart disease and an increasing amount of abdominal fat, losing belly fat will only make for a more beautiful, healthier you.
So if dieting and exercise don’t provide the desired results, it may be time to look into surgical assistance. This is why many individuals turn to the Plano and Dallas office of Dr. Robert D. Wilcox for such body contouring procedures as liposuction surgery and tummy tuck surgery. Before and after photos are available on Dr. Wilcox’s website, and consultations can be scheduled by contacting his office. Meeting with a qualified medical professional is an important part in determining if plastic surgery is the best choice.
