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?

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.

Price for liposuction varies and so does quality.In general, I would stay away from providers advertising deals that seem too good to be true. There are often fine print bait-and-switch offers. That said, paying more is no guarantee the quality of work will be better. Depending on where you...

Often bruising will accumulate in a part of the body below the area that was liposuction. This is just from old blood that has drifted downward. This should all go away in time. As always it is best to check with your doctor to be sure that there are no problems.When choosing your plastic...
