I have a pooch right below my navel, under my stomach that involves my pubic region. This pouch of what i think is fat. Is directly over my penis. I call it my "Forward Fanny pack". Can this be removed through Lipo? Is there anything major in that area of my pelvic region. Besides nerves, etc etc...? If not is it removable?

A fatty pubic area is easy to liposuction.

Liposuction - Mons pubis (Pubic Mound) in a Man; Extra Skin Also?

Hi tnmountainman41 in Johnson City, TN, It looks as though you have excess fat - and skin - in the region known as the mons pubis (Latin for pubic mound). This area is often treated very effectively with liposuction alone but, as always, the final result depends on what you look like beforehand (the anatomy), the procedure that is done and the way that your tissues contract down into their new contour. In your case, it looks like you have some extra fat and skin in that region,... more

Pubic Area Will Improve Somewhat With Liposuction

The fat above your pubic region will improve to a certain degree after liposuction. There are no major vascular or nervous structures in this area that should be directly damaged per se if you underwent this procedure; it is something that is commonly done.

You can certainly try this as a primary method of... more

You should consider a weight loss procedure (such as Lap band or Gastric bypass). Both procedure would remove most if not all of your excess fat and could be followed by either a tummy tuck or liposuction to give you a much better result than attempting liposuction of the... more

Hanging abdomen liposuction or tummy tuck

You can benefit from a liposuction but if an exam determines that there is laxity of thelower abdominal wall, you could benefit from a tummy tuck as well, and this would significantly improve your appearance.

Fat above pubic area...

Liposuction can definitely improve the area you are concerned with. There are no major vessel or nerves in the subcutaneous skin of that area so it is very safe. At the same time, an abdominoplasty could improve the excess skin and fat of the tummy and give a great overall result. Providing you are in good health, you should be a candidate for both procedures.

Fat above Pubic Area

This area is called the mons pubis and it can be decreased in size via liposuction. However, a full physical examination along with a medical history would be necessary to determine the best surgical procedures to assist you to obtain the best possible results. A believe a tummy tuck or paniculectomy might also help you as the weight of your abdominal fat might also be pushing the mons pubis fat downward and anteriorly.
