Excess Fat
Target stubborn fat on the belly, flanks, arms, thighs and chin without surgery, with a personalized combination of fat reduction, fat dissolving injections and medical weight management.
About This Concern
Almost everyone has an area of stubborn fat that won't budge, no matter how well they eat or how much they exercise. Common areas include the belly, love handles, bra line, upper arms, inner thighs and under the chin. This fat is often driven by genetics, hormones and age rather than lifestyle alone, which is why diet and exercise can't always shift it. At FusionMed, we offer multiple non-surgical options to reduce excess fat, and we determine the right treatment, or combination, for your body and goals. InMode BodyFX, MiniFX and Forma use radiofrequency energy to target fat cells and tighten skin at the same time. Injectable lipolysis with deoxycholic acid permanently dissolves small, stubborn pockets of fat. For clients with more weight to lose, our medically supervised Weight Management Program combines GLP-1 therapy and IV support with these treatments. As fat reduces, we can add body tightening to keep skin smooth and firm.
Understanding the Cause
Common Causes
- ✦
Genetics — your genes largely decide where your body stores fat, which is why some areas resist diet and exercise
- ✦
Hormonal changes — pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and stress hormones like cortisol shift fat toward the belly and hips
- ✦
Aging — metabolism slows and muscle mass declines with age, making fat easier to gain and harder to lose
- ✦
Lifestyle factors — diet, alcohol, poor sleep and a sedentary routine contribute to fat gain
- ✦
Weight fluctuations — after weight gain or loss, fat can remain in stubborn pockets even when overall weight is stable
- ✦
Metabolic factors — insulin resistance can make fat, especially around the belly, harder to lose

Common Questions
FAQs
Why won't my stubborn fat go away with diet and exercise?
Some fat is controlled by genetics and hormones, so it stays in certain areas even when you eat well and exercise. Targeted treatments act directly on those fat cells, which is why they can work where diet and exercise alone can't.
Is non-surgical fat reduction permanent?
Fat cells that are destroyed by treatment are permanently removed. The remaining fat cells can still grow if you gain weight, so maintaining a stable weight with healthy habits keeps your results looking their best.
Which treatment is right for me?
It depends on the area, how much fat you want to reduce, and your skin quality. Small pockets often suit lipolysis, larger areas suit BodyFX, and clients with more weight to lose may benefit from our Weight Management Program. We'll recommend the right combination at your consultation.
Is this an alternative to liposuction?
Yes, for many people. Non-surgical fat reduction offers gradual, natural-looking results with no surgery, anesthesia or downtime. Liposuction may still be better for very large volumes of fat, and we'll give you an honest recommendation.
Will I have loose skin after fat reduction?
BodyFX, MiniFX and Forma tighten skin as they reduce fat. If you have more loose skin, we can add body tightening with Thermage Body or Morpheus8 Body for a smoother, firmer result.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a course of sessions, typically 4–8 for BodyFX and 2–4 for lipolysis, spaced a few weeks apart. Results build gradually over 2–3 months as your body clears the treated fat cells.
