Tightening the stomach with non-surgical body contouring treatments 

There is a range of non-surgical and non-invasive body sculpting treatments available that can help tighten skin, reduce fat, and minimise cellulite. These treatments can be applied to various areas of the body, including the stomach.

​

By combining our non-surgical stomach treatments, we can reduce fat, tighten skin, and even improve muscle tone. We create tailored treatment plans to achieve stomach-tightening results comparable to a tummy tuck, without the need for surgery.

​

All body sculpting treatments are available to both men and women.

Non-surgical tummy tuck treatment options

​Non-surgical stomach treatments provide more gradual, subtle results compared to surgery. However, over time, these treatments can lead to significant tightening and fat reduction, without the higher costs, longer recovery periods, or risks associated with surgical procedures.

​​

To achieve tummy tuck like results without surgery we often advice on a combination of different premium body sculpting treatments, including fat freezing, ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency skin tightening and HI-EMT muscle sculpting​

​

Not everyone will require all treatments, as each type of treatment has a different benefit and resolves different issues.

 

Below, we explain each treatment in the recommended order of application. Fat freezing should always be performed during a separate appointment, whereas ultrasound cavitation, RF, vacuum therapy, and HI-EMT can be done on the same day.​​​

​

fat freezing for stomach fat reduction

1. Fat freezing (cryolipolysis)

​When there is excess fat on the stomach and/or flanks then fat freezing is always the start of your treatment journey. Fat freezing is by far the most effective non-surgical fat reduction treatment on the market and achieves permanent fat cell reduction on the stomach. â€‹â€‹â€‹

​

How it works

Fat freezing applicators are placed on the excess fat and reduce the temperature of the area to minus 4 to minus 7 degrees. This process causes fat cells to crystalise and starts a process called apoptosis. In simple terms, the fat cells begin to self destruct and the bodies natural systems clear the cellular debris from those fat cells without causing damage to any of the other tissue in the treatment area.

 

With premium fat freezing treatment you can achieve up to 40% fat loss in the treatment area with just a single treatment, and often 1 to 3 treatments are enough to reach the required fat reduction goals. 

​

For the stomach fat freezing treatment you can book between 1 and 4 applicators. On the average body we can fit 1 to 2 applicators on the centre of the stomach, and if you also wish to treat the flanks you would want to book another 2 applicators. â€‹

stomach fat and skin tightening with ultrasound and RF

2. Ultrasound cavitation with radiofrequency (RF)

​​

At Fat Freezing Manchester we offer a specialist ultrasound cavitation with radiofrequency combination treatment that tightens and rejuvenates the stomach skin while further reducing localised fat deposits. This treatment can also improve the appearance of cellulite as it improves the overall structure of the skin and its elasticity.  With ultrasound and RF multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results. In most cases we recommend 6 sessions spread between 4 days and 2 days apart. â€‹

​

HI-EMT stomach muscle sculpting for overall stomach tightening results

3. HI-EMT Muscle sculpting

HI-EMT treatment helps to increase muscle tone on the abs and obliques, and in the process this treatment also further reduces localised fat. Our HI-EMT treatment pads emit radiofrequency for a further boost to fat reduction and skin tightening results. As with the ultrasound combination treatment a course of 6 treatments is recommended. â€‹â€‹

Combining non-surgical stomach treatments

​While fat freezing should always be done separately and at least 3 days apart from the other treatments, the ultrasound combination treatment can further be combined with HI-EMT in the same appointments to achieve an even more profound stomach sculpting effect. 

​

We recommend beginning your non surgical tummy tuck sculpting treatment with fat freezing, as it is the most effective method for permanently reducing localised fat. Additionally, after fat freezing it takes 6 to 12 weeks for full results to appear, whereas the other treatments deliver visible results much faster.

Book non-surgical stomach treatments

Book in your first treatment online, by email or over the phone. 

​

If you are considering a combination of treatments to target both fat and skin we always recommend booking fat freezing treatment first. 

​

For fat freezing you can book the number of fat-freezing applicators you think is appropriate, but this can be adjusted on the day of your treatment. Typically, the stomach requires between 1 and 4 applicators, depending on its size and the amount of fat you want to target. Each applicator covers an area of fat roughly the size of what can be grasped with one hand.

​

if you wish to book ultrasound cavitation with radiofrequency, or HI-EMT treatment we always ask you to book a singular treatment. On the day of your appointment you can then decide whether you wish to pay for that single treatment or whether you wish to book a full course at a  discounted rate.

The surgical tummy tuck

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdominal area. This invasive treatment typically involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and the tightening of underlying muscles. This surgery aims to create a firmer, smoother abdominal profile by addressing issues such as loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles, often resulting from factors like pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.

​

The surgical tummy tuck can be the preferred route if the issues experienced in the stomach area are significant, as surgical intervention can achieve the most extreme tightening results. 

invasive tummy tuck treatment options

Tummy tucks are not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle but can provide a more contoured and aesthetically pleasing abdomen for individuals who meet the criteria for the procedure.

​

While tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) are generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, they do carry some risks. It's essential for individuals considering this surgery to be aware of potential complications.

Risks associated with the surgical tummy tuck

Infection

There is a risk of infection at the incision site, which could lead to complications. Proper post-operative care and antibiotic use can help mitigate this risk.

​

Bleeding

Excessive bleeding during or after the surgery is a potential risk. Surgeons take precautions during the procedure to minimize bleeding, but it can still occur.

 

Seroma or hematoma formation

Fluid accumulation (seroma) or blood collection (hematoma) under the skin may occur after surgery, requiring drainage.

​

Poor wound healing

Some individuals may experience delayed or poor wound healing, particularly if they smoke or have certain medical conditions.

​

Anaesthesia risks

Anaesthesia always carries some risks, such as allergic reactions or adverse effects, though these are generally rare.

​

​

Scarring

While efforts are made to minimize scarring, all surgeries leave scars. The extent and visibility of scars can vary among individuals.

 

Changes in skin sensation

Numbness or changes in skin sensation, including temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the abdominal area, may occur.

​

Skin discoloration

In some cases, the skin around the incision site may become discoloured, though this is usually temporary.

​

Blood clots

There is a risk of blood clot formation (deep vein thrombosis) after surgery, especially if the individual remains immobile for extended periods. This can be a serious complication if a clot travels to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).​

​

Unsatisfactory cosmetic results

While tummy tucks aim to improve the appearance of the abdomen, individual results can vary, and some may be dissatisfied with the cosmetic outcome.​

Costs associated with surgical tummy tuck surgery

Tummy tuck surgery will generally cost between £5,000 and £10,000 in the UK. Options for going to overseas surgical clinics such as clinics in Turkey have become more popular as prices for surgery are often lower. However, many issues have been reported by those that have opted for lower cost tummy tucks and other cosmetic surgery in such clinics and its important to be mindful of the risks involved. 

​

It is highly recommended that, prior to undergoing a surgical tummy tuck procedure, you thoroughly research your cosmetic surgeon, assess your exact goals, and determine whether the surgery will help you achieve these goals.

Non-surgical tummy stomach contouring treatments

Non-surgical VS surgical stomach tightening

Non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives will always be more subtle than surgical intervention. Depending on the original size of the stomach and the goals, you may require multiple treatments over weeks to months to achieve similar results to surgery. However, with non-surgical treatments there are no waiting times prior to treatment nor recovery down time following treatment. 

​

Surgical stomach tightening will happen in 1 day under full anaesthesia, while no anaesthesia is used with non-surgical treatments. For surgical treatments that means you generally experience no discomfort at all during the procedure, while there may be some discomfort during non-invasive treatments, but this usually is minor and subsides quickly.

​

Most don't have any discomfort following non-surgical treatment. Discomfort following surgical treatments can be more significant and often last some weeks.

​After non-surgical treatments you may have some bruising and minor swelling, but further visible or noticeable side effects are rare.

 

Following surgical treatment you will likely have to wear a special garment for a longer period of time and experience significant visible side effects. Assume it will take approximately 6 weeks to recover from your surgery. You can continue day-to-day activities immediately following non-invasive treatments.

How long stomach treatment results last

Fat reduction

With both surgical and non-surgical treatment options fat cells are reduced permanently. However, overall body fat will increase again when you gain weight. When considering any such treatments you must consider whether you are ready to either maintain weight or lose weight. No treatment will offer long term benefits or long lasting results if you do continue to gain significant weight. 

​​

Skin tightening​​

Non-surgical stomach skin tightening treatments work by improving the collagen production and improve skin laxity and the overall strength of the skin. Skin tightening surgery removes excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue by repositioning and securing it, often using sutures, to create a firmer, more contoured appearance.

 

As skin will continue to age naturally over time, either skin tightening treatment should be considered long-lasting but not permanent. Non-surgical skin tightening is subtle, and tightening results improve slowly over a course of treatments. 

​​

Muscle sculpting
If you exercise regularly, especially with strength training and cardio, your stomach muscle sculpting results can last for several months or longer because your muscles stay active and toned. However, if you don’t exercise, the effects may fade faster, usually within a few months, as your muscles lose their tone. 

How to get started with non-surgical stomach contouring

The exact body contouring treatments that are right for you will depend on your starting point and goals. If you are unsure of which treatment is right for you then you have the option to either book a phone or in-person consultation through the booking page. Consultations are fully optional and are not required, you can book in directly for your treatment.

​

Starting your treatment

​

If you first wish to start with fat reduction on the stomach then fat freezing is the most appropriate treatment option. If the stomach is small (up to medium size) then 1 to 2 applicators are enough. Where a larger stomach is treated often 3 to 4 applicators are required to cover the excess fatty area. You can book for the amount of applicators that you believe are right. The amount of applicators can be adjusted at the time of treatment. 

​

If you wish to start with tightening of the skin and lose fat on the stomach area then the ultrasound cavitation with radiofrequency is the most appropriate treatment option. You can start with a singular treatment appointment or book a course of 6 treatments online or by email or phone. You can also opt for a treatment course at the clinic on the day of your appointment. With ultrasound cavitation and radiofrequency treatments a course of treatments is recommended for best results.

​

If you wish to start with muscle building and sculpting then we recommend you to book HI-EMT muscle stimulation treatment. For the stomach you can either choose 1 or 2 applicators.

​

You can combine multiple treatment options to get the best results for you. As it is best that separate treatments are carried out on separate days (at least 3 days apart from one another) you can book in the treatment that you wish to start with. We can then discuss your further options on the day of your first treatment.
