What can realistically be done

Assessment first

What the pocket is, whether treatment will genuinely change it.

Body contouring programmes

Device-based contouring for suitable areas, doctor-planned.

Fat-dissolving pathway

Prescription treatment for appropriate areas — discussed and priced in consultation, never advertised.

What can't

None of this is weight loss, and none of it substitutes for metabolic health — for that conversation, Dr Chaffee is the person. Contouring refines; it does not reshape.

What's going on

Almost everyone has one: the lower abdomen, the flank, under the chin — a deposit that holds its ground at any weight. That is normal physiology, not a discipline failure.

The honest landscape: options exist from muscle-building and contouring devices to prescription fat-dissolving treatment for suitable areas. What suits your pocket depends on its size, site and your goals — the assessment decides.

Why it happens

  • Localised fat distribution, largely genetic
  • Hormonal patterns of storage
  • Age-related redistribution
  • Stable weight with residual pockets

What a first visit involves

  • Your history and what's bothering you, in your words
  • An examination and an honest plan, with costs in writing
  • No treatment at a first visit
