What This Concern Is

Unwanted fat refers to localized areas of fullness that may not respond proportionally to diet and exercise. These areas commonly develop beneath the chin, around the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, and back.

This concern is often related more to fat distribution and body contour than overall body weight.

How We Approach
Unwanted Fat

Nuvo Med approaches body contouring conservatively and strategically.

Evaluation focuses on determining whether concerns are related to fat, skin laxity, structural anatomy, or overall body composition.

The goal is thoughtful treatment selection that supports natural-looking improvement and long-term maintenance rather than aggressive overcorrection.

Frequently asked questions

Is unwanted fat always related to weight gain?

No. Genetics and anatomy often influence where fat accumulates and how easily it responds to lifestyle changes.

Can body contouring replace weight loss?

Are some areas harder to change than others?

Yes. Certain areas may remain resistant even with consistent exercise and nutrition.

Yes. Patients commonly visit Nuvo Med from Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Bremerton, Silverdale, and surrounding communities.
