I have multiple rows of fat on my stomach-why do I have these "band-like" depressions in between each roll & most others don't?

Asked By:ShrinkingViolet in Phoenix, AZ

No matter how thin or thick I am, I have multiple rows or sections of rolls of fat on my stomach-why do most people not have these "band-like" depressions in between each roll and why do I have them? What can be done to make the appearance of fat look less distinguished because of these separations? I am height weight proportionate, pear shaped, 44 female w/1 pregnancy in early 20s. I see others who have fat in abdomen, but since it's all in 1 "pocket" vs my 3 pockets, it doesn't look as bad.
