Scheduled for ETT with 360 lipo and muscle repair. However, I continue to question how much is visceral fat vs sub fat? I dont expect to be completely flat, but i do expect to have the lower flap removed and a decently toned and sculpted abdomen. Judging by the pictures do you believe this can be achieved or does it appear that i have an abunance of visceral fat? My abdomen bulges, but i always assumed that to be from muscle seperation from my 4 pregnancies, could the bulge be visceral fat?

Answer: Visceral or subcutaneous fat? From your photos and description it is likely you have both subcutaneous and visceral fat. Your results will be limited by the amount of visceral fat as this can only be improved with weight loss. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon. During an examination your surgeon can demonstrate what you can expect in terms of results.

Answer: Low fat diet, liposuction and then tummy tuck You appear to have a large amount of internal visceral fat. This will not result in a toned look even with liposuction and tummy tuck. I recommend you begin with liposuction, wear an abdominal binder for several months and begin a low fat diet and do abdominal core exercises such as sit-ups, planks and pilates. After you have reached the maximum weight reduction, you can then consider abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement if you are not planning future pregnancies, The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.
