Achieving Body Sculpting Results without Surgery Cosmetic surgeons can alter the contours of the body through various techniques, such as liposuction, tummy tucks, lifts and implants in order to achieve specific results. It is a booming business and the results are usually pleasing to patients. Is it possible to achieve some, if not all, of the same effects through diet and exercise without having to ‘go under the knife’? Getting Rid of Belly Fat – Diet or Exercise? There are two types of fat in our bodies; subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is found underneath the skin in the thighs, buttocks, hips, breast and arms. Fat that accumulates in the midsection of the body, including the abdominal cavity and between internal organs (round belly, beer belly, etc.) is known as visceral fat. It used to be thought that visceral fat was more or less inactive; it collected in the body around the stomach area and hung out for the duration.
