I am an athlete and workout 5x a week intensely. I work so hard and eat so well, but I have always carry all of my fat on my stomach. I have tried so many things to melt down my fat but nothing works. I have had this fat since I was 11-12. My parents are on board with the procedure only if its minimally invasive and I am on a local anesthetic. Am I a good cadidate for smart lipo/vaser lipo? I cant deal with this fat any longer!!
