Can visceral fat be removed by liposuction? - NO

Visceral fat is fat that surrounds your intestines, liver, spleen, etc. ("the guts"). It CANNOT be removed via any liposuction technique. The only way to improve visceral fat is to lose weight. If your body mass index (BMI) is in the obese range, you might be a candidate for weight loss surgery. If so, seek a "bariatric surgeon" in your neighborhood. Good luck.

Liposuction of intra-abdominal fat

Liposuction has no place in removing this fat, as the potential for life-threatening injury to the intestines, liver, pancreas, spleen, etc. is simply too great. Weight loss is the only effective way to remove visceral fat.
