There are several factors that contribute to the appearance of saddlebags: the most common are poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, genetics, or fluid retention, among others.
They are usually characterized by being a buildup of fat that is difficult to eliminate. No matter how much weight we lose in the rest of the body, fat in this area often remains.
Permanently eliminating saddlebags
Liposuction is one of the most common procedures to permanently remove saddlebags from the body, significantly reducing the volume in that area.
It is a procedure that has been performed for over 30 years. It can be done in different ways depending on the diagnosis made by the doctor, as each case is different. It is a quick and effective technique, and allows a return to normal life within 1 or 2 days.
Liposuction reshapes the person’s figure, delivering very satisfactory results for patients of all genders and ages.
Eliminating saddlebags naturally
If you prefer to avoid surgery, there are also some tips you can follow that may help reduce their volume:
Watch your diet. Our diet is a very important factor. We should avoid excess fats and sugars and start consuming foods rich in fiber. Increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables will help eliminate toxins from the body. It is also advisable to drink 2 liters of water a day and avoid salt, as it causes fluid retention.
Exercise. It is highly recommended to exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. Cardiovascular workouts help burn fat throughout the body: cycling, running, swimming, dancing, doing Pilates, or even simple daily activities like climbing stairs. You can also do glute and hip exercises to tone and strengthen the muscles.
Follow these tips if you want to reduce the volume of your saddlebags. If, on the other hand, you want to get rid of them once and for all, don’t hesitate to visit Clínica EGOS.
