Well, I think there are far cheaper ways of finding this out than getting a CT scan! First, when you look in the mirror, do you have your old " washboard " abs overlying the belly? Or is it a more classic " Budweiser " affair? Typically, lipo bellies have the sixpack, even though they bulge. Second, why not just ask your doctor? Sounds like a simple course of diet and exercise might be of use. Liposuction works, but is expensive, painful, and often, temporary.
