Asked By:1architrav in McRae-Helena, Georgia

I am 61 year old 5' 6" currently weigh 152 lbs. I have had a big tummy for a while and surgeon said I was not a candidate for a tummy tuck as I had visceral fat, carrying all weigh in my belly. She recommended loose more weight.She did perform a breast lift and I was happy with the results.Consulted another board certified plastic surgeon who says he may be able to get good results but not a flat tummy. Concerned visceral fat will eventually push out muscles, etc. How can I know?
