A practical example is illustrated by liposuction.

As a plastic surgeon dealing with the military for over twenty years I have had many soldiers sailors and marines who could not pass the tape test. The amount of body fat and more important the distribution of body fat prevented them from meeting the standards. Many of these individuals appeared to be in excellent condition. However the ratio between the neck, waist line and other parts of the body did not pass the test when taped. The reason for this is that fat distribution is a genetically controlled (determined by your mother and father). Unfortunately some individuals have more fat cells in one area of the body like the waist and then less fat cells in the neck which will make the tape measurements not truly judge the fitness of the military personnel.

So in these cases, Liposuction is an excellent answer. The reason is that the fat can actually be removed from one area such as the waist. We have taken as much as 8 inches off the waist line before and the military member has passed the tape test. In some cases, the failure of the tape test can cost the military personnel their promotion and even worse can lead to discharge. This is yet one way plastic surgery can advance a military career. People in the military are like others. As hard as they may try not to, individuals will judge others by their appearance. Take the case of weak chin.
