The high stomach can be the result of the accumulation of fat, abdominal diastasis or other treatment factors of treatment
When arising abdominal without necessarily being associated with a weight gain, we are probably talking about a strong stomach. That is, that protrusion formed in the region above the navel, explains dr. Vitor Nunes, plastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Causes
According to the doctor, the high stomach has different causes. Among these are:
- Accumulation of fat in the region;
- Loose muscle wall;
- Removal of the abdominal muscles, also known with diastasis;
- Excess of visceral fat;
- In some cases, hernia in the region.
Often the high stomach can be specifically accumulating fat. To differentiate the conditions, a good physical evaluation is required. “For this reason, the requests for requesting experts such as ultrasound in the region, the tomography of the region and bioimperanza, an examination that define the patient’s body composition, which help us define the cause”, he explains.
In the specific case of diastasis, the high stomach is a consequence of an important removal of the abdominal muscles of the rectum on the average line “of the belly”. In general, the problem arises with great fluctuations of weight or multiple pregnancies. The physical and image examination helps to accurately diagnose the cause, it indicates the plastic surgeon.
How to get rid of the high stomach?
If the cause of the high stomach is a small diastase, or visceral fat, located in the abdominal cavity near the vital or localized fats, some routine changes can help fight the problem.
“Practice hypopressive exercises, efficient to tone the abdomen or the low pressure physical form (LPF) which also focuses on the abdomen contract are effective measures. Furthermore, diet, physical activity and the change in lifestyle also contribute to the elimination of the high stomach”, Vitor.
Cases of surgery
“If abdominal diastasis is important, or that localized fat, insisting on being even after exercising and diet, surgery is necessary to resolve. The correction can be done surgically, joining the muscles again. We complete ourselves with the liposuction of the region to improve the feeling of stomach,” says the doctor.
It is possible that diastase correction surgery is performed by robots, videolaparoscopy, minimally invasive procedure or the engraving of a previous Caesarea scar. Or together with abdominoplasty surgery. The removal of fat occurs with liposuction from the region. “The result comes in a period that usually achieves a final result between 6 months and 1 year,” says the expert.
It is noteworthy that it is possible to prevent the emergence of the high stomach that controls the weight, doing posture exercises, breathing exercises, exercise and healthy habits, says dr. Vitor Nunes.
