I went to a plastic surgeon and I was told that visceral fat cannot be removed? Is that true?

visceral fat
I have an apple shaped belly and the plastic surgeon told me that I basically have minimal topical fat that could be sucked out and that most of my fat was visceral and the only way to get rid of that is exercise and eating right? The problem is I have more visceral fat then what I call the topical fat. so they could get rid of love handles in a little bit of my belly but the visceral fat is what is causing me the problem. I have a lot of pressure in my upper abdomen and pressure on my back.
