Fat above Pubic Area.

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?

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.

Fat above Pubic Area.

The area above your penis or mons pubis is very fatty and would respond to liposuction. However, your abdominal pannus or apron of fat is very large with stretched out skin and may need more than liposuction to make it look better. In other words your liposuction may need an abdominoplasty later to remove excess skin in the abdomen. This is all said assuming that you are healthy and can heal such a large open wound.
