Question

Misbah Khan MD, FAAD, FACMS · Answer

pubic or mound liposuction is commonly performed with lower abdomen liposuction. if you have a rather slimmer lower and mid abdomen then it would make sense to sculpt the pubic area to match the torso. however, if the mound is not that prominent compared to the lower abdomen then Im not sure if you will benefit from this procedure

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

If you pinch the skin and there is greater than an inch of tissue between you two fingers liposuction may very well improve the situation. If there's less than an inch it means that there's actually less than half an inch of fat thickness.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Pubic liposuction will thin out the mound considerably, usually to at least half of its current thickness. Whether more is possible depends on how much fat is actually in the mound and how much the skin will shrink down.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

If the tissues are thick and mostly fatty, then one can probably have liposuction to thin it out.  Remember that there is a delicate balance to fatty tissue removal and how much the skin will contract.

John P. Stratis, MD · Answer

I generally tell patients that I can get out at least half of the amount of fat at one session of liposuction. If you pinch 2 inches you can probably get down to 1 inch. The caution always is that you must consider the thickness of the skin and you also have to consider the probablility of skin contraction.
