You're doing the work — and one or two areas still won't budge. Stubborn fat and soft muscle tone are exactly what body contouring is for: not weight loss, but finishing what effort started.

What's actually happening. Everyone carries fat cells that resist diet and exercise — a lower belly, flanks, the area under the chin — and no workout can spot-reduce them. Muscle tone is the other half of the shape equation: definition comes from the muscle beneath the fat, and some areas plateau no matter how consistently you train.
How Vue approaches it. First, the honest frame: body contouring is for people at or near their goal weight who want to refine specific areas — it is not a weight-loss program, and we'll say so if that's the better conversation to have. From there, the plan depends on which half of the equation is yours: reduce fat, build muscle, or both.
Your options, honestly framed. truSculpt iD reduces fat: monopolar radiofrequency gently heats the deep fat layer until fat cells break down and your body clears them naturally — FDA-cleared for the abdomen, with an average 24% fat reduction reported after a single hands-free session, and results building over roughly 6–12 weeks. truFlex builds muscle: Multi-Directional Stimulation triggers deep, involuntary contractions — beyond what you can do voluntarily — to strengthen, tone, and firm the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs over a short series. It's a muscle device, not a fat treatment, and we keep that distinction honest. TruBody pairs the two into one coordinated plan — truSculpt refines the fat, truFlex strengthens the muscle underneath — for the more complete change most patients are actually after. And for one very specific area, fat-dissolving injections (Kybella) offer a targeted, non-surgical option for the pocket of fat under the chin — Kybella is used for the under-chin area only, which is exactly where it belongs.
Every plan starts with a straightforward assessment from Dr. Swenson's team — including, when relevant, an honest comparison with what a surgical option could do instead.
