Share on Pinterest Many proponents of waist training suggest wearing a waist trainer for 8 or more hours a day. Some even recommend sleeping in one. Their justification for wearing one overnight is that the additional hours in the waist trainer maximize waist training benefits.

potential reduction in lung capacity, depriving your body of oxygen

potential physical discomfort, interrupting sleep Keep reading to learn more about the purported benefits and the actual side effects of waist trainers. What is a waist trainer? A waist trainer is the modern day corset. It’s worn around your midsection to create the illusion that you have an hourglass figure. There are three primary types of waist trainers: Everyday trainers. Designed to be worn under clothing, these waist trainers typically provide compression with a latex core and hook-and-eye closures. Designed to be worn under clothing, these waist trainers typically provide compression with a latex core and hook-and-eye closures. Workout trainers. Sturdier than an everyday waist trainer, workout waist trainers usually have a latex core. Many are designed to be worn outside clothing. Sturdier than an everyday waist trainer, workout waist trainers usually have a latex core. Many are designed to be worn outside clothing. Steel-boned trainers. More traditional in design, these waist trainers are reinforced with flexible steel boning and typically include tightening laces in the back. Most waist trainers claim to shape your waist into a sculpted silhouette or help with weight loss. Are the claimed benefits of waist training true? Although not supported by the medical community, proponents of waist training claim that waist training garments can result in: An hourglass figure When the waist trainer is put on and tightened, many people feel that it gives them a more attractive figure with an impressively slim waist, accentuated bust, and curvy hips. The concept is that if you wear the waist trainer for long enough periods, your body will be trained to maintain that shape. This claim has been widely disputed by doctors and medical organizations. They suggest that waist trainers don’t provide long-term shaping benefits. Better posture While you’re wearing a waist trainer, it’s likely that you’ll maintain good posture. There’s a concern, however, that wearing a waist trainer too much may weaken your core muscles which could lead to poor posture and back discomfort. Decreased appetite The claim for a decreased appetite is based on the waist trainer putting pressure on your stomach. If your stomach is compressed, it’s likely that you’ll reach a feeling of fullness faster than if your stomach was not being squeezed. Weight loss Although there’s anecdotal evidence of weight loss during waist training, it is most likely due to fluid loss from perspiration. Waist trainer side effects The concern about the side effects of waist training is the potential for physical damage. Compressing your midsection can: force organs like your kidneys and liver into unnatural positions

impair internal organ function by crowding

reduce core muscle strength

cause rib fracture

deprive you of oxygen, possibly by reducing lung capacity by 30 to 60 percent

restrict lymphatic system

create digestive tract blockages

promote acid reflux

Does the tummy tuck belt work?

Contrary to claims of producing an almost instantaneous body contouring effect, a product known as the Tummy Tuck® Belt has shown no clinical evidence of long-term results.

doctorleber.com - Is the Tummy Tuck Belt As Effective As Abdominoplasty?

October 30, 2020

Contrary to claims of producing an almost instantaneous body contouring effect, a product known as the Tummy Tuck® Belt has shown no clinical evidence of long-term results. In some media outlets, the Tummy Tuck® Belt, also known as the Tummy Tuck® Miracle Slimming System, has recently been touted as a non-surgical alternative to abdominoplasty. According to the makers of the product, individuals can attain the slim, taut abdominal contour usually achieved with surgery by simply wearing the Tummy Tuck® Belt—a girdle-like compression garment—for ten minutes each day. This claims to work in combination with a “fat-burning” cream called a Thermal Accelerator, as well as a daily regimen of low-intensity standing exercises, to produce a smoother abdominal contour. Despite these assertions, there is no scientific evidence or research to suggest that wearing the Tummy Tuck® Belt can achieve an outcome comparable to abdominoplasty performed by a skilled plastic surgeon. In general, a surgical tummy tuck is designed to:

Repair stretched musculature

Tighten and smooth excess skin

Suction out redundant fat

Needless to say, there is currently no non-invasive product or treatment that can provide the comprehensive body sculpting characteristic of a tummy tuck. Dr. Leber encourages all patients to maintain realistic expectations when considering mail-order products and creams that claim to seamlessly reproduce the results achieved by plastic surgery. If you have any questions about the best ways to reach your aesthetic goals, Dr. Leber would be happy to advise you in a personal or virtual consultation.
