Pregnancy Fat

Get Back your pre-pregnancy belly back.

Thankfully, due to the revolutionary developments in body contouring over the last few decades, there are now plenty of treatments available that can help you get rid of your mum tum without going under the knife.

Fat Freezing (Cryolypolisis)

Fat freezing has become incredibly popular over the last decade with tons of women and celebrity mums all choosing it as a safer, less painful alternative to liposuction.

It’s non-surgical, meaning no scalpels, slicing or suction required! It’s safe and proven to be very effective at removing pockets of soft, squeezable body fat, such as your mum tum or love handles!

Fat Freezing works in an unusual way. By exposing your fat cells to cold temperatures we can destroy them, enabling your body to then remove them naturally through your lymphatic system.

Because the treatment is non-invasive, there’s no need for recovery time. You can continue with your normal schedule immediately after treatment, giving it a huge advantage over traditional liposuction!

As Cryolipolysis requires your body to naturally remove the dead fat cells, it can take a few weeks for the results to become fully visible, but the end result is well worth the wait! You’ll look slimmer, feel more confident and greatly improve your mum tum.

EMSculpt Neo

Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles as well as the skin, and a mum tum is often as much about lost muscle tone as it is about fat. EMSculpt Neo works on both. The applicator makes the abdominal muscles contract thousands of times in a single session, far more than you could manage in the gym, while radiofrequency heats and reduces the fat layer above them.

A course is four sessions, each 30 to 60 minutes, with results building over 4 to 12 weeks. There is nothing to recover from, so you can go straight back to the school run.

Radio-frequency

If your mum tum is a mix of excess fat and loose, saggy skin, BTL Exilis Ultra 360 is the treatment we would look at first. It uses radiofrequency and ultrasound together to reduce stubborn fat and tighten the loose skin that pregnancy leaves behind, over a course of sessions.

Radiofrequency improves the texture, tone and firmness of the skin at the same time. The heat encourages new collagen, which is what gives the skin a firmer appearance over the months after treatment.

Why Is Your Baby Belly So Stubborn?

Pregnancy Fat

Achieving a flat stomach can be challenging even before having a baby but after pregnancy, it can be even more frustrating.

You can be left with a baby pouch or some mums call it an apron. Whatever you call it, having stubborn fat and maybe some loose skin after giving birth can be really annoying and have a negative effect on your body confidence.

You see, your stomach is a natural “storehouse” for fat. When you are pregnant your body lays down more fat in these storehouses which also includes your stomach, thighs and hips. This is to make sure you have plenty of stored energy to feed and raise a healthy baby once it arrives. Unfortunately, once you have built up a storage of fat it can be very difficult to lose especially if you are unable to breastfeed.

When you’ve got young kids it can be hard to make your own diet a priority. By the time you’ve fed the baby or done the school run, cleaned up, cooked a meal, done the washing up and stopped any sibling meltdowns. You’ve no energy left to prepare yourself a healthy, weight-loss-friendly meal.

You grab a pizza or munch on the leftovers of your kid’s dinner. But that’s part of the problem when it comes to a stubborn mum tum. You’ve got to eat right if you want to shift it without any outside help!

The easiest way to eat well when you’re overworked and overwhelmed is to keep things simple. Cut out refined sugars and avoid carbs like white pasta, bread or cereals. Try to eat plenty of fresh vegetables, clean meats and fish.

For the best weight loss results, I encourage people to look at the Keto diet. It’s easy to do, doesn’t involve feeling hungry and can have some really quick results.
