Patient in Cleveland asks, “Are fat removal procedures available near me?”

Exercising, eating well, and taking care of yourself can lead to long and healthy life. Sometimes, however, working out and dieting just isn’t enough to remove stubborn areas of fat deposits. Everybody stores some fat, even people at or under their ideal weight. The factors that determine the quantity and location of fat that is retained in your body include:

• Lifestyle – cardio exercise, weight training, activity levels, and nutrition impact overall weight
• Health – conditions such as pregnancy and polycystic ovarian syndrome can change the way that fat is stored. Prednisone treatment may also increase stubborn abdominal fat
• Genetics – body contour, whether apple or pear-shaped, and length of torso and limbs, is often predetermined by family history
• Age and sex – prior to age 40, the majority of women store fat near their buttocks, thighs, and hips. After 40, belly, back, upper arm, and upper abdomen fat may be more resistant to weight loss efforts. Men often lose weight in the extremities before the abdomen.
• Plastic surgery – liposuction and fat reduction procedures can address certain areas of fat
