<p>The problem with BMI is that because it is simply an expression of the relationship between weight and height, it tells the doctor nothing about where the fat is deposited. </p> <p>This is very important because fat deposited over the waist area (visceral fat) presents a much greater health risk than fat around the hips and thighs.</p> <p>We must be conscious of this fact because we only remove subcutaneous fat by <a title="liposuction" href="/treatment/liposuction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a> or <a title="VASER Lipo" href="/treatment/vaser-lipo/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VASER liposelection</a> methods and tend to leave visceral fat behind.</p> <p>Many recent studies show that waist-hip ratio or waist measurement alone are better predictors of risk than BMI.</p> <p> </p>
