Introduction

Abdominal fat, commonly known as a belly bulge, is generally associated with factors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, improper sitting posture, and constipation. It can be improved through dietary adjustments, appropriate exercise, acupoint catgut embedding, cryolipolysis, and radiofrequency lipolysis. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable medical facility under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid unnecessary bodily harm.

Abdominal fat, commonly known as a "pooch" or "belly bulge," is generally associated with factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, improper sitting posture, and constipation. Besides avoiding high-fat foods and engaging in jogging, this condition can also be improved through methods like acupoint thread embedding, cryolipolysis (cool sculpting), and radiofrequency lipolysis. It is recommended to seek treatment at a reputable medical facility under the guidance of a qualified physician.

Analysis of Causes of Belly Bulge:

Cause	Genetics	Poor Diet	Lack of Exercise	Improper Sitting Posture	Constipation
Analysis	Obesity-susceptibility genes may affect fat distribution	Excessive intake of high-fat foods increases body weight and leads to abdominal fat accumulation	Lack of physical activity results in increased body fat and decreased muscle mass	Poor posture causes certain muscles to relax, potentially contributing to a protruding belly	Constipation prevents timely elimination of waste, possibly causing abdominal bloating and the formation of a belly bulge
Improvement Methods	1. Cryolipolysis	1. Avoid consuming high-fat foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers, and youtiao (fried dough sticks) 2. Acupoint thread embedding	1. Jogging 2. Cryolipolysis	1. Cryolipolysis	1. Maintain adequate water intake 2. Radiofrequency lipolysis

Analysis of Belly Bulge Reduction Procedures:

Procedure Name	Acupoint Thread Embedding	Cryolipolysis	Radiofrequency Lipolysis
Example Image
Principle	Implantation of protein threads to suppress appetite and promote fat breakdown	Fat cells are sensitive to cold, which induces apoptosis (cell death) of fat cells	Uses high-heat energy targeted at areas of abdominal fat accumulation
Reference Price	3,000–8,000 RMB per session	1,000–8,000 RMB per session	1,000–6,000 RMB per session
Advantages	1. Minimal incision 2. Simple procedure	1. Comfortable process 2. Minimal incision	1. Well-established technology 2. Effective results
Potential Risks	1. Bruising may occur 2. Risk of infection or abscess	1. May cause skin soreness 2. May increase liver burden	1. Possible local nerve damage 2. Risk of hematoma
Duration of Results	2–3 years	5–10 years	6–10 years

If any discomfort occurs during efforts to reduce a belly bulge, it is advisable to promptly visit a正规 hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.

Belly fat refers to a protruding abdomen, specifically excess fat that accumulates around the navel area due to fat buildup in the upper abdominal region. In most cases, a protruding belly may be related to poor diet, lack of exercise, constipation, or improper sitting posture, and can be improved through methods such as cryolipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, or acupoint embedding therapy.
