Liposculpture

[bullmoose]

I'm going to regret asking this, but has anyone tried liposculpture to get off that last little bit of ab fat that won't go away?

I take in 1500-1800 calories per day. I have a 32 waist at 5'10" and a 44" chest. I run 3-5 miles, on hills, 3-4 times per week; I can do 50 pushups in 60 seconds and 100 crunches in 120 seconds. Even when I was in the Marines and at my physical peak I didn't have 6-pack abs. I've always had a little pouch of fat around my belly button. I have 4 solid, perfect abs, nice serratus and good obliques, tapering down into a shapeless mass at my waist. I'm not fat; just undefined for about three vertical inches.

I'm considering liposculpture to kick my genetics right in the @$$ and get that Brad Pitt in Fight Club look.

Anyone done it? Anyone care to offer up a CBA (cost-benefit analysis?)

Are those three vertical inches so important to you? If so fine, have the surgery .. it's your body.

Possibly talk to a bodybuilding coach who specialises in pre-contest stuff, he might have some exotic ideas.

I'm in the same boat, have a little pouch over my abs thats concentrated. In order for that to go away I'd have to look like a skeleton everywhere else (altho I plan to add some muscle to fill out).

Make sure you arent limiting your calories too much or over training. That can mess up your metabolism. I did the same thing and hit a plataeu.

You could try eating more and see what happens.

I tried eating big; I was a gym rat for years. I gain really well, but still no 5th or 6th abs. Plus, my neck and jaw get huge and I look like a moron when I bulk up. Seriously. I pull off the Big Galoot look really well, which is not cool given my current career choice.
