What's the best way for me to burn fat on my shin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No specific way: Localized fat deposits can only be removed by liposuction. Fat over the shin ( anterior portion of the tibia overlying the bone) can be removed as part of fat reduction universally in the body otherwise. Sometimes what a person thinks is fat over the shin bone is actually swelling of the tissue (edema) due to fluid retention.
