Dealing With Stubborn Fat

Many people have goals for what they want their body to look like, often involving smooth, slim,  and toned body contours. Weight loss methods such as eating a balanced diet and regularly exercising can be effective for reaching a healthy weight and lifestyle. However, diet and exercise are often not enough to remove stubborn fat deposits from the body. While patients may be able to achieve a healthy weight, it can be difficult to achieve their aesthetic goals when stubborn fat obstructs the results of their diet and exercise efforts. Additionally, stubborn fat can make certain areas of the body look disproportional. 

For those who want to eliminate stubborn fat and sculpt their ideal body contours, liposuction can be a transformative surgery. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits and removes them, leaving patients with slimmer and more defined body contours. It can be a great option for people struggling to get rid of stubborn fat through diet, exercise, and alternative methods.  

What Can Liposuction Treat? 

Liposuction can remove fat from nearly any body area. For many people, stubborn fat tends to develop in the stomach, thighs, hips, and buttocks. However, other body areas can hold stubborn fat as well. Regions of the upper, middle, and lower body can be treated with liposuction. 

Upper Body 

For upper body contouring, liposuction can be used to get rid of fat underneath the jawline, eliminating a double chin appearance. Fat that accumulates on the upper arms can be removed to create a more slender silhouette. The chest region can also be treated with liposuction for both men and women; men with excess fat in the chest can remove the appearance of male breasts and restore a more masculine contour, while women with overly heavy breasts can have liposuction as a part of a breast reduction procedure.  

Mid-Body 

The midsection of the body is where people often struggle to lose fat the most. The stomach, flanks (love handles), back, and hips can all be treated with liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat and create a more toned look. 

Lower Body 

For the lower half of the body, liposuction can be used to treat the buttocks, thighs, calves, and ankles. Removing stubborn fat from these areas can create a more balanced and proportional appearance. 

Where Is Liposuction the Most Effective? 

The body areas where liposuction will provide the most effective results will vary from patient to patient. Everyone has a unique body and their own concerns and goals. Liposuction is a customizable procedure that involves removing fat from the patient’s areas of choice. During a consultation, your surgeon will examine your body, listen to your areas of concern, and ask you about your body goals. If you are determined to be a good candidate, then your treatment plan will be designed with your goals in mind.
