18 months post op have lost 65 lbs went from a 16 to a 6 and i have the belly fat. But I am scheduled for smart Lipo on Feb 19th. I can tell you after that if it helps. Had smart lipo done on legs in November and I am very happy. was thinking of Tummy Tuck but dr thinks smart lipo will be what i am looking for with less cost and less down time.

There is nothing you can do short of plastic surgery to spot lose. Sad, but true.

Crunches and the like will firm up the muscles underneath, but won't do anything for the fat layer above.

Pilates. It's all about the belly.

Recently had a plastic surgeon speak at our group. He said that you can work on the underneath muscle masses but the fat layer on top will require some sort of removal. He had a slide show to explain the differences.
