You step in front of the mirror after weeks of a restrictive diet and rigorous exercise, only to see the same stubborn bulges still clinging to your hips and abdomen.

Our devotion to patient satisfaction is clear: over 90% of clients demonstrate noticeable improvement in their targeted areas after our non-surgical treatments. We recommend non-surgical solutions to tackle particular fat problems using the most precise and medically advised methods,while guaranteeing good skin quality and the overall body shape. Additionally, patient testimonials regularly highlight the personalised care and excellent results received at our clinic. These success stories bolster new patients' trust and confidence in choosing BBD for their body contouring journey.

Understanding Stubborn Fat
Stubborn fat forms when specific fat cells in certain areas are resistant to metabolism, making them difficult to shrink despite weight loss efforts. This resistance results in persistent bulges and uneven body lines, which do not change even with strict diet and exercise.
The stubborn fat pockets are usually localised and structurally separate from normal body fat. This is due to the way connective tissue (the reinforcing fibers that hold cells together) forms a dense, tightly woven barrier around the fat cells. This density, along with poor blood circulation in the area and changes in hormone receptors (molecules on cells that respond to hormones), makes these fat deposits harder to break down naturally.

What Causes Stubborn Fat Deposits?
There are a number of causes that make stubborn fat develop and be maintained:
Genetics:
Genetic composition is an important factor in fat storage. If your family has a history of stubborn fat, it may recur in the same regions.
Hormonal Changes:
Oestrogen, cortisol, and insulin are hormones that influence fat storage. The accumulation of fat in certain areas can be promoted by hormonal alterations during pregnancy or menopause, or by stress.
Ageing:
As one grows older, metabolism slows, fat is reallocated, and muscle mass is less easily felt.
Lifestyle Elements:
Even though this is not the only reason, stress, sleep deprivation, and lower physical activity may aggravate the appearance of stubborn fat.

Where Stubborn Fat Hides
Stubborn fat deposits can be found virtually anywhere on the body, although they are most commonly found in:
Abdomen:
Fat in the lower abdomen can create a persistent belly bulge or muffin top.
Thighs:
The inner and outer thighs commonly accumulate stubborn fat, sometimes known as saddlebags.
Hips and Buttocks:
Fat in the hips and buttocks may accentuate certain body contours.
Arms:
Fat on the upper arm can give the appearance of "bat wings."
Chin and Neck:
Fat under the chin can alter the jawline, resulting in a localised double chin.

The Emotional Impact of Stubborn Fat
Hard-to-get-rid-of fat may not only be a physical issue. Many people feel self-conscious in tight-fitting clothes, bathing suits, or sportswear, which can affect body confidence and have individuals dissatisfied with their appearance, even when they are healthy. At BBD, we consider these concerns seriously and approach every patient with empathy, discretion, and medical expertise.

Cutting-Edge Treatments for Stubborn Fat at Beauty by Doctor
Achieve smoother contours and a more refined body shape in as little as three weeks with our cutting-edge solutions. Beauty by Doctor offers a range of non-surgical, minimally invasive interventions that reduce stubborn fat and improve skin quality and shape.

EVOLVE-X (Body Contouring and Fat Reduction)
EVOLVE-X is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used as a primary option for stubborn fat at BBD. EVOLVE-X is a device that delivers precise radiofrequency energy (focused heat that targets specific tissues) into the skin's fat layers. This process destroys fat cells and firms the skin, all without causing side effects.
​
The most appropriate is EVOLVE-X Transform. It is used in conjunction with fat loss, skin tightening, and muscular stimulation, so it can be applied to parts of the body that require fat reduction or contouring, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks.
​EVOLVE-X treatments are painless and do not require aftercare. They may also be extended to other body parts as part of a personalised treatment.

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling device (a device that uses tiny needles with heat) that delivers energy into the skin and fat. It helps break down fat cells and boost collagen production (the protein that makes skin firmer and smoother), making the skin look less lined. It is particularly suited to small to medium areas of lingering fat, especially where skin looseness is also present.
​
FaceTite
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to treat delicate areas of the chin, jawline, and neck. This treatment targets localised fat and tightens skin, rendering it a common choice for patients concerned about a double chin or loss of jawline definition.

Fat Dissolving Injections
Fat-dissolving injections, such as those containing deoxycholic acid (a compound that breaks down fat cells), target fat in specific areas. These therapies are typically used for small, localised fatty deposits, usually found under the chin or on small body parts.
