Stubborn Fat

You eat well and stay active, but the lower belly, flanks, arms or thighs still do not change the way the rest of your body does.

What Is Going On

Many people have areas that are slower to respond to lifestyle changes. Body contouring is meant to refine shape in those areas. It is not a weight loss method.

Common Causes and Context

  • Where the body stores fat is influenced by genetics, hormones and age.
  • Weight changes, pregnancy and lower activity can make some areas more noticeable.
  • Contouring works best for adults who are near their goal weight.

How These Options Differ

PHYSIQ refines specific areas. Medical Weight Management addresses overall body weight with a physician-supervised plan. Some patients start with weight management and add contouring later.

Results vary from person to person. Your provider recommends a plan after your consultation. See current pricing on the Price List.

Care is provided under the medical direction of Michael Lau, MD, Medical Director.
