I am very athletic, in the past I noticed that when I got down to a weight of 130, (Bmi 20.1, height is 5'7") my two pack begins to show, however, no matter how much exercise I do I can't get the remaining 4-pack to come out of hiding.

Is it possible to have both of these procedures done at the same time.
