What is stubborn fat?
Stubborn fat is the common name for the specific pockets of fat that are often the last to leave, even with a great diet and exercise routine. It's often not about lack of effort. It's about biology. These fat cells, usually in areas determined by your genetics, are more resistant to being used for energy than the fat in other parts of your body. That's why you can be fit and healthy but still have a particular area, like your lower abdomen or love handles, that just won't budge.
Why does stubborn fat form in the body?
Stubborn fat develops mostly because of genetics and biology. Some fat cells, usually found in areas like the lower belly, thighs, hips, or under the chin, are harder to burn. This is because they have more alpha-2 receptors, which slow down fat breakdown.
Hormones like insulin, cortisol (stress hormone), and estrogen also affect how and where fat is stored. If these hormones are out of balance, fat can build up in certain spots. Genetics play a big role too, they influence where your body tends to hold on to fat.
Common areas where stubborn fat lingers
Stubborn fat can show up in different places for different people, but there are a few common areas where it tends to linger. Many people notice it on the torso, as soft pockets on the abdomen and ‘love handles’ or as the bulge of ‘bra fat’ on the upper back.
Another common area is under the chin, where a genetic predisposition can lead to what’s often called a ‘double chin’, affecting the jawline’s profile. It also appears on the limbs, such as the upper arms and thighs, where there may also be changes in skin firmness, and occasionally as smaller pockets above the knees.
Stubborn Fat Treatment in South Australia
At Jennifer Carly Aesthetic Medicine, we take a holistic approach when discussing options for stubborn fat. This often includes considering both the fatty tissue itself and the quality of the skin covering the area. During your consultation, we will explore your goals, assess the area of concern, and provide guidance on suitable management options tailored to you.
Your Questions Answered
Not at all. It's a common concern for people who are at or very close to their ideal body weight. Because these fatty pockets are often determined by genetics rather than overall lifestyle, even very fit and active individuals can have them. It's about body shape and contour, not necessarily your weight on the scale.
The best first step is a proper consultation with a qualified professional. This is important to discuss your goals, assess the area, and understand the different approaches available. A professional can help you create a realistic plan that is tailored to your specific body and concerns.
