What influence where fat goes in our body
Genetics
Fat distribution is strongly influenced by your genes, affecting females more than males.
Gender
Healthy body fat levels for females range between 25 and 31%, and women gain it more in the hips and buttocks while men accumulate more fat in the belly.
Age
The older we get, the slower our metabolism, the more muscle mass we lose, and the higher our visceral fat levels are.
Hormone
Cortisol & insulin hormones = Accumulate fat in the abdomen
Estrogen & testosterone = Accumulate fat in the hips and thighs
Precision fat removal while maintaining natural body contours
Stubborn fat pockets often persist despite regular workout and disciplined diets, which will require targeted intervention.

Importance of exercise and fitness post-surgery
Exercise is essential for maintaining fat loss after liposuction, as it helps prevent compensatory weight gain and the accumulation of visceral fat. While lipo removes excess fat from the midsection, it doesn't stop fat buildup in untreated areas.
It's important to wait for your body to heal before starting an exercise program, so consult your doctor to find the right time to begin with light activities.
