I read in some of the threads that the fat you can pinch is what can be removed during lipo- tummy tuck surgery? Is this the truth or a myth? How do you verify and distinguish the fat during consultations? I want to be able to self check and have a realistic idea of my results.

Answer: How to check for visceral fat Hello and thank you for your question. It is quite easy actually. While standing with your tummy muscles relaxed try sucking in your tummy as much as possible. We can flatten you a little more than you can sucking in. Better still, lay flat on your back and sick in your tummy. If it doesn't flatten altogether or partially only then you have a fair amount of visceral fat. It is true that visceral fat cannot be removed. A lot of fat between the skin and muscle can be removed. Peter Fisher M.D

Answer: How can I self check for visceral fat? It's a good question with a simple answer. The fat you can pinch is in front of the muscle and we can get rid of some, but not all of that. When you lie flat on the floor, if your tummy rises up higher than your ribs, you have too much visceral fat (behind the muscle) to get a good result because we cannot do anything to that fat. If your tummy sinks in below your ribs you are a great candidate for the TT procedure.
