Menopause belly fat: what changes, and what helps

If your stomach has changed around the menopause, you are not imagining it and you have not stopped trying. Here is what is happening, what fat freezing can honestly do about it, and when to speak to your GP first.

What tends to change

Common patterns, not a diagnosis. Everyone is different.

Fat storage shifts to the middle

Around the menopause many women notice that weight settles on the stomach rather than the hips and thighs, even when their eating and exercise have not changed. It is a common pattern, not a personal failure.

The stomach can feel different

Some of that extra fat sits under the skin, where you can pinch it. Some sits deeper, around the organs. They behave differently and they are treated differently.

Diet and exercise still matter

They matter for your health more broadly. What they cannot do is choose where the fat comes off, which is why a stubborn pocket can stay put through a lot of effort.

Fat freezing works on the fat you can pinch. Read the full explanation on belly fat removal without surgery, see real results, or look at radio frequency skin tightening for loose skin.

Questions about menopause and fat freezing

Including the ones that mean speaking to a doctor first.

Can fat freezing remove menopause belly fat?
It can reduce the fat you can pinch under the skin of the stomach, which is the part it is designed for. It does not treat the fat around the organs, and it is not a weight-loss or a hormone treatment. The 6 Pack Fat Freeze® treats the whole midsection in one session so the change is even, and I will tell you honestly at the assessment how much of your stomach is the treatable kind.
Is menopause belly fat different from other belly fat?
The fat itself is the same. What tends to change around the menopause is where the body stores it. That is why the honest question is not whether it is menopause fat, but how much of it sits under the skin, where fat freezing works.
Should I see my GP first?
If you are struggling with menopause symptoms, or your stomach has changed suddenly, is persistently swollen or is painful, speak to your GP before any cosmetic treatment. Fat freezing is a body-contouring treatment for stubborn fat, and the health question on the assessment form exists so I can tell you if it is not appropriate for you.
Will the fat come back after treatment?
The treated fat cells are cleared by your body and do not return. Fat cells outside the treated area can still grow if you gain weight, which is why the whole midsection is treated together in the 6 Pack protocol rather than a single patch.
Does it help with loose skin on the stomach?
Fat freezing removes fat, not loose skin. If skin laxity is part of what you are noticing, radio frequency skin tightening is often the better companion, and I will say at the assessment which of the two, or both, is worth your money.
