How Do Surgeons Address The Upper Pubic Area With A Tummy Tuck

Thank you for your question.  During the course of a well-carried-out tummy tuck, excess fat can be directly excised from the upper pubic area and the remaining tissue fixed in place with sutures.  In experienced hands, this results in an attractive, low-profile contour of this area.

It’s not
unusual for women who are considering abdominoplasty to have a prominent mons
pubis.This can occur for a variety of
reasons.In some cases, a prominent
pubic bone may be present.In other
cases, loose skin or excess fat may contribute to the problem.The treatment of this condition is entirely
dependent upon the cause of the problem.In the vast majority of patients
undergoing abdominoplasty.The mons
pubis can be addressed during the same procedure.In most cases, this involves removal of
excess fat and skin.The procedure is
associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient
satisfaction.If you’re considering abdominoplasty
and are concerned with your mons pubis, it’s important to consult a board
certified plastic surgeon.This surgeon
should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic
findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Although a tummy tuck will often improve the pubic region, often a pubis lift done at the same time is required for the best result. The recovery period will not change in most cases

a typical tummy tuck doesnt include treatment of the pubic area as this varies from patient to patient.

treatment can include   suctioning, excision, both..   talk with your surgeon about your concerns

You are absolutely correct with your observation that the pubic area is sometimes ignored in abdominoplasty.

I nearly always do liposuction of this area during the course of tummy tuck surgery.

If the pubic area is enlarged or sagging as is usually the case following massive weight loss, then I dip down with my abdominoplasty skin excision to remove the upper pubic skin and lift the remainder of the pubis.

Good luck!
