About Stubborn Fat Pocket Treatments After Weight Loss
There are a handful of different treatments for reducing fat around specific areas of the body. At Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic, we offer fat transfer procedures if you are looking to reposition those fat pockets to a more desirable area of the body, and we specialize in liposuction.
Fat Transfer Procedures
After weight loss, some individuals may feel dissatisfied with their body proportions due to the placement of stubborn fat pockets around the thighs, stomach, and hips. If you are interested in repurposing your stubborn pockets of body fat, you might want to consider a fat transfer procedure. At our practice, we offer the Brazilian butt lift, which is done using fat transfer techniques. During this procedure, a doctor will make a small incision in the area of your unwanted fat stores, suction out the excess fat, purify it, and reinject it into the buttocks area. This creates a rounder, more defined buttocks while also sculpting the donor area.
Fat transfer procedures are just one of the options offered by Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic. You can discuss whether or not a fat transfer procedure is right for you with one of our patient coordinators by calling (720) 372-2155 or filling out our contact form to schedule a free consultation.
Liposuction
Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic specializes in liposuction procedures. Liposuction is a popular, safe procedure used to remove fat from areas around the body. For patients who have already undergone major weight loss, liposuction has been shown to potentially be a permanent way of treating stubborn fat pockets. (1) Denver Liposuction Speciality Clinic is at the forefront of advanced liposuction procedures, offering a variety of different forms of liposuction.
In the past, liposuction treatment was considered a relatively taxing procedure that involved a higher degree of risk and longer recovery time. As treatments have advanced, Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic is now pleased to offer cutting-edge forms of liposuction treatment that are safe, less invasive, and typically involve quicker recovery times. These forms of liposuction include tumescent liposuction, Smart Lipo, and VASER liposuction. All three of these forms of liposuction can be used to treat stubborn pockets of body fat. During a personal consultation, one of our patient coordinators can help you decide which method is best for you.
Benefits
The benefits of treating stubborn fat pockets after weight loss are numerous, both from a physical as well as a mental standpoint. From a physical standpoint, the methods used to treat stubborn fat pockets at Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic, particularly liposuction-based treatments, can help individuals reduce the amount of fat in specific areas of the body that diet and exercise cannot do alone. This can help individuals obtain the proportions that they desire. Perhaps in large part due to these physical changes, the treatment methods we use are also scientifically proven to be linked to significant psychological benefits such as overall improvements in body image.

Candidates
The ideal candidate for treatment of stubborn pockets of body fat is someone who recently underwent weight loss and is looking to address remaining fat pockets that do not respond to natural treatment methods such as proper diet, exercise, and living an overall healthy lifestyle. Candidates should be in otherwise good health and not have any preexisting conditions that could interfere with our procedures, although this is rare. It is also preferred that candidates are nonsmokers or are willing to quit smoking for a period of time.
