Getting back into shape takes effort, and when you factor in the hormonal changes involved after giving birth, the task may seem too much. But don't give up.

After giving birth, hormonal changes can hinder weight loss. Start with low-impact exercises like walking and swimming, following a doctor's clearance. Successful weight loss requires regular exercise and a calorie-controlled diet. For stubborn fat, Vaser Liposuction offers a safe and quicker recovery compared to traditional methods. Consult Dr Ivan Puah at Amaris B. Clinic for expert advice on fat and weight loss in Singapore.

The challenges a woman faces during the gestation period and the experience of childbirth are, without a doubt, incomparable to any other life experience. 

Yet it doesn't stop there; soon after giving birth, a new challenge arises.

Getting back into shape post-pregnancy takes effort, and when you factor in the hormonal changes involved after giving birth, the task may seem overwhelming. 

But don't give up. Apart from signing up for post-natal exercise classes, below are other effective things you can do.

Walking your way to fitness

@amarisbclinic Some believe that waist trainers can whip us into shape. Others have been intrigued by home fat-burning tights or fat-burning machines, or googled “how to get a flat tummy” and gone down many other rabbit holes. #fyp #foryou #tiktoksg #singapore #amarisbclinic #drivanpuah #cosmeticsurgery #bodysculpting #fatloss ♬ original sound - Amaris B.

If your doctor has cleared you, walking is a good start. Start slow and use support if needed. 

It's a low-impact form of exercise, but it's beneficial nonetheless. 

Once you've regained strength, try to cover more distance, but do not overexert yourself by pushing too hard.

Swimming and water aerobics: Excellent cardiovascular workouts

@amarisbclinic ‍Body weight set point means a particular weight or range of specific weights your body seems adamant to cling to despite your efforts. So to lose weight, do not starve yourself. Do it right; do it healthily. #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #tiktoksg #singapore #weightloss #amarisbclinic #drivanpuah #aesthetics #medicalaesthetics #weightgain #bodyweight #setpoint ♬ original sound - Amaris B.

You can improve cardio health, build endurance and lose weight simultaneously. 

Plus, getting a dose of Vitamin D is great for skin health and mood, but remember to slap on sunblock with SPF 50+ when you are in the pool.

Successful weight loss strategies

Did you know you must combine regular exercise and a healthy calorie-controlled diet to lose fat successfully [1]

Unfortunately, you cannot lose weight healthily if you just do one or the other. 

A study shows that "you get the biggest bang for your buck by combining a healthy weight-loss diet, which in this case means reducing calories by cutting fat intake and boosting the consumption of low-calorie foods, with regular, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise."

Other studies have reported other successful weight loss strategies, including preparing meals at home and eating less often at restaurants [2].

The Solution To Persistent And Stubborn Fat That's Resistant To Diet And Exercise

@amarisbclinic Why do we get belly fat? Why is belly fat so stubborn? Apparently, stubborn fat is more resistant to fat burning because it acts as an energy storage. Our body holds on to this energy psychologically and physiologically for preservation. #fyp #tiktoksg #medicaltiktok #tiktoksingapore #bellyfat #weightloss ♬ original sound - Amaris B.

Losing weight seems relatively straightforward and easily doable on your own, but there are instances where it's not. 

How much fat we store or lose is dependent on our genetic makeup [3]

For example, the appearance of fat around the thighs and certain other parts despite having a slender or slim waistline. 

These stubborn pockets of fat are not easily eliminated with diet and exercise.

Vaser Liposuction for safe, permanent fat removal

Vaser Liposuction is an ultrasonic-assisted liposuction technique meant to correct disproportionate body shape and remove stubborn body fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. 

The degree of skin firming following Vaser Liposuction will depend on the patient's age and skin quality.

Compared to traditional liposuction, recovery time after Vaser Liposuction is faster, and patients can return to their daily routine within 2 to 3 days. 

If you are looking to address post-partum excess fat, we welcome you to make an appointment with Dr Ivan Puah.
