Muffin Top Removal Surgery: What are My Charlotte Options?

Are you concerned about that stubborn waist fat often called a muffin top? Don't worry; we're here to help. 

A muffin top describes an undesirable look formed by excess skin and fat hanging over the waistband.

The issue can also be found on the front or side of the waist, sometimes called an apron belly or spare tire. 

While exercise and diet control are essential, the unfortunate fact is that we have no way of choosing where our fat loss occurs. Most women also have the genetic tendency to store excess fat around their midsection to protect their children during pregnancy.

Pregnancy also changes your fat distribution when bearing a child and after the fact during breastfeeding. No matter the reason it formed, a muffin top can be a nuisance, so we're here to help you lose it once and for all. 

Muffin Tops: What to Know About Liposuction's Ability to Help

Correcting the problem is what interests most patients. Yet, before we show you the optimal ways to convert a muffin top, you should understand the specific reasons why you have it in the first place.

Younger patients with no skin elasticity issues tend to have a muffin top due to fat accumulation under the skin.

As long as the skin is of good elasticity and hasn't been stretched beyond a natural retraction, liposuction can be a quality solution to reduce the excess fat surrounding the area.

It's one of the most common muffin top removal surgeries. It consists of placing several incisions around the midsection to extract the fat with a device known as a cannula.

There's also the case where women have stretched skin, forming a bundle of mass that contributes to creating a muffin top. Liposuction isn't optimal because it's only designed to reduce fat and not tighten skin.

Surgical tightening of the midsection will be necessary, and that's achievable with a tummy tuck, which uses an incision to remove fat from the waist and tighten or cut out loose skin.
