tummy fat reduction treatment

1. When you say that you want to "reduce belly fat", it isn't clear to us whether you are fit overall and this is merely a case of localized fat, or if you are obese and your belly happens to stand out somehow, on our platform we have often seen people confusing the two.
   • So with the lack of relevant details, we will answer your query keeping both possibilities in mind.
      
2. Assuming that you are obese overall and your belly stands out, then:
   • You should approach a nutritionist/dietician to enquire about dieting & lifestyle modifications.
   • Once it's concluded that they aren't delivering desired results, then you move on to endoscopic procedures or other weight-loss surgeries, but they will only limit food intake, and won't remove fat -- they are mentioned below:
     • Gastric bypass, gastric binding, gastric sleeve, Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch -- the doctor will determine your eligibility, depending on your health background and pace of weight loss.
   • The doctor shall guide on everything, just make them aware of your expectations, limitations and pre-existing health conditions as they could create complications and the dietician would have an easier way of providing realistic goals.
   • You may refer our page to contact experts and learn more - Dietitian/Nutritionists.
      
3. Assuming that you are fit overall and your belly fat is a localized deposit that refuses to burn out no matter how much you exercise, then:
