I have fat just above my penis. How can I get rid of it without an operation?

Question

I was starting to loose my weight about tow years ago and I lost 62 kilogrammes. But these fats are highly resistant to loose!!!!

George Volpe, MD · Answer

For fat in the pubic region, there are two modalities that are nonsurgical that may help. These include SculpSure and cool sculpting. Although these modalities can reduce fat, liposuction tends to be more effective. Sometimes, lifting the skin in this area if one has had significant weight loss can make a significant difference also.

John J. Bandeian, MD · Answer

Since you have lost 136 pounds, more likely than not, your problem involves loose skin as well as excess fat. I do not believe your problem can be adequately corrected without surgery. Without photos, I can't be certain, but I suspect that you will need a combination of localized liposuction and excision of the redundant skin. Both these procedures can be easily done with local anesthesia in around an hour and can even be done without any sedation. Without sedation, you could drive yourself home from the doctor's office and for many types of occupations, you would not even have to miss any work.

If the fat is not shrinking as you loose weight, you may need liposuction. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your concerns.

Paul J. Leahy, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. This is not an uncommon problem. Liposuction is generally a good treatment for this site. It can safely remove the unwanted fat. Excess skin is sometimes a problem as well, and that would have to be surgically removed as a lift procedure. Best wishes.

You will probably need surgery to improve the appearance of this region.The good news is that many different treatments, none too involved, are available.  These include liposuction, tissue removal, or a combination.  Undergoing these surgical treatments can help you look and feel better.You should seek consultations with several board-certified plastic surgeons for consultations in person so that you can get a full and complete discussion of the available options.  That will enable you to make a more informed decision...even if it involves surgery.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf100
