Q: Why are the fat deposits on my hips, thighs and waist so hard to budge, even though I am exercising and have a sensible diet?

A: Many women gain weight on their hips and thighs during their teenage years. Often this is of a genetic predisposition. The main contributors to later fat deposition, however, are hormonal changes in a woman, such as pregnancies, menopause or hormone replacement therapy.

We encourage patients to have a healthy diet and regular exercise, but this is not sufficient for many patients. Treatment options include liposculpture either with a traditional procedure or the newer ultrasonic method, or sometimes other surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck, or a thigh or body lift.

For dietary advice and consultation regarding fat excess, why not consult our in-house adviser or Dr Hodgkinson himself? They will suggest a treatment program and possible surgical options for your particular problem.
