Stubborn Fat

That last pocket of fat that won't budge—no matter how hard you try.

Diet and exercise build a healthy foundation, but they can't spot-reduce genetic fat deposits. Modern body contouring technology can permanently eliminate fat cells where you want them gone.

Is This Your Struggle?

Stubborn fat isn't about willpower—it's often genetic. Check if these sound familiar:

If you identify with 2+ signs and are at or near your ideal weight, you're an excellent candidate for non-surgical fat reduction.

The Science

Why Diet & Exercise Can't Fix It

Not all fat is created equal. Your body has different types of fat cells programmed for different purposes.

Genetic Fat Distribution

Your genes determine WHERE fat is stored. Some people accumulate in the belly, others in hips or thighs—and no exercise can change this pattern.

Fat Cell Number is Fixed

Adults don't create new fat cells (except in extreme obesity). Diet only shrinks existing cells; they're waiting to expand again.

Receptor Differences

Stubborn fat areas have more alpha-receptors that resist fat release, while 'easy' areas have beta-receptors that burn fat readily.

Hormonal Influence

Estrogen promotes fat storage in hips/thighs, while cortisol (stress) directs fat to the belly. Hormones override willpower.

Asian Body Composition

Research shows Asians tend to store more visceral fat (around organs) at lower BMIs compared to Caucasians, and often accumulate subcutaneous fat in the abdominal area. Our treatments are calibrated to address these specific patterns while respecting your natural body proportions.

FAQ

Common Questions

No. Liposuction is surgery that physically removes fat. CoolSculpting is non-invasive—it freezes fat cells which your body then naturally eliminates over 2-3 months. Results are more subtle (20-25% reduction vs. dramatic surgical removal) but there's zero downtime.
Fat cells destroyed by CoolSculpting or Emsculpt are gone permanently. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle protects your results.
CoolSculpting involves intense cold and pressure initially, then numbness sets in. Emsculpt NEO feels like an intense workout—strong muscle contractions. Most patients describe both as tolerable and even watch Netflix during sessions.
These are NOT weight loss treatments. Fat is lighter than muscle, so the scale may barely move. What changes is your shape—how clothes fit, what you see in the mirror, measurements in inches. Ideal candidates are within 10-15 lbs of their goal weight.
Yes, treatments don't affect fertility. However, pregnancy will stretch abdominal muscles and may deposit new fat. Many patients prefer to wait until after they've completed their family to maximize long-term results.
