Understanding Stubborn Fat
Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, some areas of the body can hold on to excess fat that is difficult to reduce. These pockets of stubborn fat often resist traditional weight loss methods and can affect the way clothing fits and how you feel about your appearance. At The Centre for Cosmetic Surgery & Medicine, we offer advanced surgical solutions to target and remove stubborn fat, helping you achieve a smoother, more sculpted look.
Our practice provides a range of body contouring procedures, including liposuction, Renuvion body contouring, and mommy makeover surgery. Each treatment is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your confidence and complement your body’s natural proportions.
Ideal Candidates for Stubborn Fat Treatments
You may be an ideal candidate for stubborn fat reduction if you:
- Have localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise
- Are at or near a healthy weight but want to refine your body shape
- Want to improve contour and definition in specific areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or flanks
- Experience changes in your body after pregnancy or weight loss that you would like to correct
- Have good skin elasticity for optimal contouring results
A consultation with our board-certified surgeon will help determine the best treatment option or combination of procedures to meet your goals.

We offer a variety of treatments that focus on removing stubborn fat and improving overall body contour for a more toned, balanced appearance.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body using a small cannula and gentle suction. It is ideal for creating smoother, more proportionate contours and can be performed on multiple areas in a single session.
Renuvion Body Contouring
Renuvion combines radiofrequency energy with helium plasma to tighten skin and improve tissue tone after fat removal. This procedure can be performed alongside liposuction to enhance contouring results and provide a more defined, youthful appearance.
Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. It often includes liposuction for fat removal, along with other treatments such as tummy tuck or breast surgery, to address multiple concerns in one surgical plan.

Recovery and Post-Procedure Care
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure and the number of areas treated. Most patients can return to light activities within one to two weeks, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Wearing a compression garment as directed helps minimize swelling and supports the healing process.
Some general recovery guidelines include:
- Expect temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort
- Wear compression garments as instructed
- Avoid heavy lifting until cleared by your surgeon
- Follow all post-care instructions for best results
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
Results from stubborn fat treatments are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While the removed fat cells do not return, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and good hydration will help preserve your new contours.
Cost and Financial Considerations
The cost of stubborn fat treatments varies based on the procedure type, treatment areas, and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. Since these services are elective, insurance does not cover them. We offer flexible financing options and payment plans to make body contouring more accessible.
