Stomach fat

Question: Since I gave birth to twins nine years ago I have been left with a pad of fat just above my navel. I am a healthy weight, I eat well and exercise every day, but I cannot get rid of this lump of fat. Are there any surgical procedures that would help me with this?

Answer: Changes in abdominal contour are common post childbirth and this is a common complaint. There is not a 'new' deposit of fat above the navel but the tension and tightness of the skin has altered with the pregnancy and stretch on the tummy. The result means less support from the skin and this laxity means the fat tends to hang over the navel that is pinned to the abdominal wall. The solution may be liposuction if the skin tone is still good enough, or a mini tummy tuck to retighten the skin.
