Post baby belly + fat reduction Wollongong

What’s normal, when to wait, and how to rebuild your core properly using fat reduction in Wollongong

So, you grew a human. Your skin stretched. Your muscles separated. Your hormones went on a rollercoaster.

And then somewhere between the newborn haze and your third reheated coffee… you realised your lower belly hasn't returned to pre-baby you.

First things first, Congrats mumma!

Secondly. This is common, it’s not because you’re “not trying hard enough.”

Let’s spill the tea on what’s happening.

Why your post baby belly hangs around

Pregnancy changes more than just your waistline.

Your body increases fat storage to support breastfeeding and recovery. Your abdominal muscles stretch (and sometimes separate). Your connective tissue softens. Blood flow patterns shift.

The lower abdomen becomes a hormonally protective area. That’s why you can lose weight everywhere else… and that one little pocket refuses to move.

This is where targeted fat reduction wollongong treatments can help. Not as a replacement for movement or nutrition, but as support for areas that are biologically stubborn.

How long do I need to wait postpartum before starting body contouring treatments?

This is the part people skip. Please don’t.

Your body needs proper healing time.

For vaginal birth: We recommend waiting at least 3 months postpartum before considering fat freezing. Hormones need to stabilise. Swelling needs to settle. Your body needs to regulate.

For c-section: You’ve had major abdominal surgery. That scar tissue and deeper layers need longer. We usually recommend waiting at least 6 months, sometimes longer depending on healing and core recovery.

Body contouring works best on stable, healed tissue, not inflamed or surgically recovering areas. There is zero prize for rushing this.

What fat freezing actually does

With fat freezing treatments, we use controlled cooling to target and destroy stubborn fat cells. Once those cells are crystallised, your body gradually clears them through your lymphatic system over 12 weeks.

Important: this is not weight loss. It’s targeted fat cell reduction.

If you can pinch it, we can usually treat it. And once those fat cells are gone, they don’t regenerate. So as long as you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, your results will be *chefs kiss permanent. It’s subtle. It’s gradual. It looks natural.

Now let’s talk about the quiet achiever: EMS

Here’s where things get powerful.

Fat freezing reduces the surface layer.

EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) rebuilds what’s underneath.

After pregnancy, many women experience:

• diastasis recti (ab separation)

• weakened deep core muscles

• poor engagement of the transverse abdominals

• pelvic floor instability

EMS causes deep, intense muscle contractions which are stronger than you can typically achieve on your own, helping retrain and strengthen those muscles safely.

When we combine fat reduction with EMS, we’re not just flattening a belly.

We’re:

• reducing stubborn fat

• rebuilding abdominal strength

• supporting core recovery

• improving posture and stability

That’s why pairing both creates the ultimate post baby transformation.

Not a “bounce back.” A build back.

Is this right for you?

You might be a good candidate if:

• you’re outside your healing window

• your weight is relatively stable

• you have a pinchable lower abdominal pocket

• you want non-surgical support

• And most importantly you’re doing this because you want to feel good in your body again. Not because society told you to.

Ready to feel like you again?

If you’re in Wollongong and curious about fat reduction, the first step is a consultation. This is where we go through your medical history, discuss your birth experience (including c-section recovery if applicable), assess your core function, and create a treatment plan tailored to your body.

Because no two post baby bodies are the same. A consultation is required before treatment to ensure safety and suitability, and individual results will always vary depending on healing, lifestyle, hormones, and consistency.

You grew a human. Now let’s rebuild you properly.

Book your consultation and let’s create your post-baby transformation plan... the safe way.
