Why do women often notice stubborn fat around the waist and flanks?
For many women, it’s a mix of hormones, genetics, and metabolism:
⭐️ Estrogen plays a big role - it encourages fat storage in the hips, thighs, and waist.
⭐️ Age & menopause can shift fat storage from the lower body to the midsection.
⭐️ Genetics influence where your body naturally holds on to fat.
Even with diet and exercise, some fat cells in these areas are more resistant to shrinking.
Flank liposuction targets these resistant fat pockets to contour the waistline and create a smoother silhouette. While it’s not a weight loss method, it can help reshape areas that don’t respond to lifestyle changes.
