Localised fat
Localised fat refers to stubborn areas — such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms — that don't respond to diet and exercise, even at a healthy weight. It is often influenced by genetics and hormones.
We offer both non-surgical body contouring programs and, for more significant or definitive change, surgical options like liposuction or liposculpture. Your consultation helps decide which approach fits your goals.
Common areas
- Abdomen, waist and flanks
- Inner and outer thighs, hips
- Arms and back
- Chin and jawline
Non-surgical vs surgical
Non-surgical contouring gradually reduces and reshapes localised areas over a course of sessions, with no downtime. Liposuction removes fat surgically for a more significant, one-time change, with a recovery period.
Suitable options
Your doctor will confirm the best option after examination.
Common questions
Slimming versus liposuction?
Slimming is non-surgical and gradual, while liposuction is a surgical procedure removing fat directly. Your doctor will assess which suits you.
Will these treatments help me lose weight?
They are designed for shape, not weight loss. They work best close to your ideal weight.
Is the fat reduction permanent?
Treated fat cells don't usually return, but remaining cells can grow with weight gain, so a stable lifestyle matters.
How many non-surgical sessions are needed?
Usually a course of 6–10 sessions, depending on the area and technology.
When is liposuction better?
When there is a larger amount of fat or you want a more noticeable change in one procedure.
