Can I get liposuction on my pubic area? (Photo)

A
ann9505Jan 22, 2016

I'm 20 years old, 200 pounds and 5'3" and for as long as I can remember my pubic area has been extremely chunky. I'm comfortable with my size but my pubic area has caused a lot of self hatred and embarrassment and I've finally decided that I can't live with it anymore. Can any ol plastic surgeon do this or do I have to find one that specializes in it? And what would the cost be?

I'd suggest hyperbaric oxygen treatments, lymphatic massage, and venus legacy treatments at this time. Best, Dr. Emer.

Generally, these kind of supplements are not recommended by doctors.  If you must, 1 month after your surgery should be ample time to recover and it should not affect the results of surgery in any way.

Extreme pain isnt normal and I suggest speaking to your physician.  You look very bruised so this may be a consequence of your aggressive procedure but you want to ensure there is no infection, seroma, or hematoma.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would wait to have an elective procedure like liposuction until you are healed from the joint surgery . You also put the joint at more risk for infection and potential blood clots.  Best, Dr. Emer.
