Can liposuction help?
People who have liposuction to remove the subcutaneous fat do not decrease their risk. Just removing the fat does not help their health. People with gastric bypass surgery who lose weight do see health benefits. Some data suggest that it’s easier to shed abdominal fat through exercise, that even people with high caloric intake can shed inches if they exercise enough. Q: Is one fat worse than the other? A: Perhaps visceral and intra-abdominal fat is worse. But we don’t know for sure. They tend to go together. Visceral fat, intra-abdominal fat, subcutaneous fat, the apple shape, these all contribute to central obesity.
