Stubborn Fat
Stubborn fat refers to any fat that’s resistant to traditional weight loss methods such as dieting and exercise. While it can occur on any area of the body, the most common areas include the thighs, stomach and chin. If you’re concerned about stubborn fat that you just can’t seem to shift, treatment is available to assist with its removal. Below, The Greville Clinic takes a look at the causes of stubborn fat, the areas where it commonly occurs, and available treatment options we offer at our clinic.
Understanding Stubborn Fat
Understanding stubborn fat requires delving into the complex interplay of genetics, hormones and metabolism. Unlike general fat deposits, stubborn fat tends to accumulate in specific areas, resisting traditional diet and exercise approaches. Hormonal factors can contribute to its persistence, while genetics also play a role, influencing where fat is stored and how easily it can be shifted. Recognising the unique challenges posed by stubborn fat allows for targeted strategies to be adopted, such as dietary modifications, lifestyle changes and cosmetic treatments.

Pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise can be reduced non-surgically.
RF Skin Tightening
tightening the skin after fat reduction keeps the contour smooth once the volume underneath has been reduced.
Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
fat freezing a defined pocket cools the cells until they break down, and the body clears them over the following weeks.
Fat Cavitation
ultrasound cavitation across broader areas disrupts fat cells with sound waves, which suits the abdomen and thighs rather than small pockets.
Lymphatic Drainage
drainage to help the body clear fat is commonly scheduled alongside freezing and cavitation to support the clearing process.
No two individuals are the same, which means that the areas where stubborn fat is experienced can vary from person to person. Some of the most common areas of the body where stubborn fat can occur include:
- Stomach
- Waist
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- Chin
Both men and women can experience stubborn fat deposits, which occur when fat cells are retained by the body for later use.
These fat cells are resistant to standard fat loss methods like exercise and diet. Stubborn fat can be caused by genetics, hormones, gender, stress and diet, among other factors.
