Stubborn Fat & Body Contouring
Non-surgical body contouring targets specific pockets of fat. It is not a weight-loss treatment and it is not a substitute for one.
Understanding stubborn, localised fat
Most people who ask about body contouring are not looking to lose weight. They are within a stable range, training and eating consistently, and there is still one area that will not shift: the lower abdomen, the flanks, the inner thighs, the bra line or under the chin.
Where the body stores fat, and how readily it releases it, is heavily influenced by genetics and hormones. That is why a localised pocket can persist even when overall body composition has improved, and why targeted effort at that area rarely changes it.
Non-surgical body contouring works on those specific pockets rather than on total body fat. It is a contouring treatment, not a weight-loss treatment, and it does not replace nutrition, training or medical weight management.
Availability: Please note: fat freezing is available at our Prahran clinic only (158 Chapel Street, Windsor). It is not offered at our Doncaster East location.

Who this typically suits
Body contouring gives its best results in a specific set of circumstances rather than for everyone.
- A stable weight. You are close to your usual range rather than partway through significant weight change.
- A defined, pinchable pocket. A discrete area you can hold, rather than generalised fat across the body.
- Resistant to diet and exercise. The area has stayed put despite consistent effort over a sustained period.
- Realistic expectations. You are looking for a change in contour, not a change on the scales.
- Good general health. Suitability is confirmed during your consultation before anything is booked.
- Patience for gradual change. Results develop over weeks to months rather than appearing immediately.
Soraya's approach to body contouring
We would rather tell you a treatment is not right for you than sell you an outcome it cannot deliver.
An honest suitability assessment
Your consultation covers the area, your goals and your expectations. If body contouring is not the right fit, we will say so.
Contouring, not weight loss
We are explicit about this. The treatment addresses a localised pocket, not overall body weight or body fat percentage.
Area-by-area planning
Different areas need different applicator placement and different numbers of cycles. Your plan is mapped to your body, not to a standard package.
Gradual, natural change
Results appear progressively over the weeks following treatment, which is generally why they read as natural rather than sudden.
Treatments that may be considered
Body contouring at Soraya is delivered at our Prahran clinic. Your consultation confirms which areas are suitable and how many cycles are appropriate.
Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
Our primary non-surgical body contouring pathway, used to target defined pockets of fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and under the chin.

Is body contouring right for me?
Your consultation will look at:
- Which specific area is bothering you
- Whether the pocket is defined and pinchable
- How stable your weight currently is
- What outcome you are expecting
- How many cycles the area is likely to need
- Whether Prahran works for you as a location
