A CT Scan Imagery to Plastic Surgery Consult? (Photos)

December 8, 2016
Asked By:Summermalone in New York, NY

I have a plastic surgery consultation approaching for liposuction. I had a CT scan done because I have IBS - distended stomach. Should I bring my CT Scan imagery for the doctor - will this make it easier for her to determine how much of my stomach is fat vs. IBS distention. Or is there a way the doctor can still measure how much is "IBS Gut" vs. fat. (When I grab my stomach, I don't have that much to pull and when I lay on my back my stomach is flat and you can see my muscles)
