Sagging stomach

It’s important to note that not everyone is equal when it comes to losing belly fat. In fact, the accumulation of visceral fat is subject to a number of factors, including genetics and metabolism, which are specific to each individual.

• Physical activity: regular physical activity is of course the most effective way of burning body fat while stimulating muscle development. Professional guidance ensures that you train in the right conditions and reduce the risk of injury by targeting specific muscles. However, it’s impossible to predict exactly where fat will be burned fastest, as this depends on individual metabolism.
• Adopt an appropriate diet: diet obviously plays a major role in the accumulation of visceral fat. Restrictive diets are totally ineffective in the long term, and even dangerous, so they should be avoided at all costs. On the other hand, reducing the amount of sugar and fat in favor of vegetables and citrus fruits, which are effective fat burners, contributes to a flatter figure. In the same way, proteins help to burn fat and build muscle. Hydration is another fundamental element in preventing the accumulation of belly fat.
• Stress reduction and quality of sleep: stress promotes fat storage by triggering the production of cortisol, a hormone involved in regulating metabolism.

Numerous medical and cosmetic surgery solutions have been developed to eliminate unwanted fatty deposits and maintain a harmonious silhouette.

• Fat destruction
  • Various methods can be used to eliminate fat, particularly that which is resistant to exercise and an ideal diet. The most widespread procedure is liposuction. It’s important to remember, however, that this procedure is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The aim of liposuction is to permanently eliminate localised excess fat which does not disappear naturally, and which will not reappear afterwards. The results are therefore visible over the long term, provided that the patient follows a suitable diet and exercise regime to prevent the appearance of new aggregations of fat in the tissues of the abdomen. Developed in the 1970s, liposuction can now be adapted to many different parts of the body, delivering results that are much more natural than in the early days, and minimally invasive.
  • The other major fat removal technique is cryolipolysis which uses cold to destroy localized fat deposits. This non-invasive alternative to liposuction has the advantage of requiring no post-procedure recovery time. The high-quality equipment used concentrates the cooling in a precise area to destroy subcutaneous fat cells, without damaging the skin. The destroyed cells are then gradually eliminated by the body.
• Reshaping the abdomen
  Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the abdomen by simultaneously removing excess fat, tightening the skin and improving its texture. This procedure is particularly indicated for people suffering from significant skin laxity or muscular distension in the stomach area. Results are visible over the long term, but post-operative recovery takes longer than for other procedures.
• Muscle stimulation
  • Muscles are responsible for toning the abdomen, as well as defining its overall silhouette, which is why encouraging their development in a targeted way helps to shape the abdomen, particularly in the abdominal girdle.
  • Muscle stimulation can be accelerated with B-Tonic, which uses electromagnetic waves to induce rapid muscle contractions that tone the treated area and reshape the figure as desired. This type of procedure has the advantage of requiring no recovery time, without being invasive. The results then require regular physical activity to be maintained over time, otherwise the muscles will atrophy again. B-Tonic treatment is therefore short-lived, and in no way dispenses with the need to exercise.

Every procedure at Claris Clinic begins with an initial consultation with an experienced physician. This meeting is designed to identify the most appropriate approach for your needs and expectations, while considering your medical history and overall health. Only a qualified doctor can provide personalised advice to help you choose the best solution.

Claris Clinic places great importance on the quality of each patient’s follow-up. Our team is always available to answer questions and ensure complete transparency. Depending on the procedure, follow-up appointments may be scheduled until the healing process is complete, helping to achieve the best possible result while minimising risks. We encourage you to ask any questions that may help you feel confident in your decisions and avoid unnecessary risk. Only a doctor can assess the potential side effects of a procedure, but you are welcome to seek a second opinion to support your choice.

It’s not possible to target weight loss on a specific part of the body naturally. This is because everyone’s metabolism is different, and you can’t control which fat will be burned first by taking part in sporting activities. It is possible, however, to target localised fat deposits using liposuction and cryolipolysis techniques.

• Cryolipolysis: 1 session (on one area) costs €325, two sessions on the abdomen cost €540 (2 sessions are generally recommended for optimal results).
• Liposuction: The cost varies according to the complexity of the procedure and the practitioner. A detailed estimate will be provided at the first consultation session (to be performed by a physician only).
• Abdominoplasty: price ranges from €4,350 to €6,295, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
• B-Tonic: single session costs €125, 8-session subscription costs €895.

Please note that these prices are purely indicative, and may vary according to the particular situation of each patient, so it is essential to refer only to the estimate issued by a doctor who has examined you beforehand.
