Target for weight loss

Rodger Wade Pielet, MD answers: Are there body areas that you can not fix with nutrition and working out?

I workout and do pilates and work with a trainer. I have NEVER been able to get rid of my "tummy" I look pg in a swimsuit. Should I get a TT? Are there areas of your body that you just can not fix with nutrition and working out? I am 38 and not getting any younger.

Are there body areas that you can not fix with nutrition and working out?

It sound like you are taking all the steps one can to combat your situation. However, genetics not only plays a role in fat storage it wins!

You may be storing a fair amount of fat intra-abdominaly. This will not change with surgery. The surgical removal of skin and the fat attached will make a positive change. In addition tightening the abdominal rectus muscle combined with liposuction in the flank area will make a nice change, judging from your photo.

The best thing to do is get a consult from a board certified plastic surgeon and get information more specific to you.

Good Luck!
