Elevating the pubic area

Elevating the pubic area can be more aesthetically pleasing. This needs to be discussed with your surgeon, they can give you an idea as to how high the pubic area will be elevated. The surgeon can control the height to a certain degree.

Upward migration of pubic area with abdominoplasty

There can be some upward positioning of the pubic area with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), however with careful planning and appropriate suturing of the deeper tissues (anchoring a stronger portion of the abdominal flap), this can be minimized.

Tummy Tuck and its effects on the pubic area

There are several ways in which tummy tuck affects the pubic area. A sleek new tummy will make the pubic area look bigger in comparison. The pubic area can be pulled upwards by a tummy tuck, although your surgeon can minimize this with several techniques, and can demonstrate for you before surgery how significant the effect will be.

Pubic area after tummy tuck

As we are pulling the abdominal skin down it will also pull the pubic skin up. It will always happen to some degree, but with deep tissue suturing it can be minimized. I have yet to have a complaint about this.
