Liposuction on the Pubic Area?

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to have Liposuction on a woman's pubic area? I had lost weight and have a fatty patch down there.

Thank you for your question.Yes, it is possible to have this procedure done. But first, for safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and  cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

The mons pubis area is very amenable to liposuction and can be recontoured down nicely in selected cases.  However, if you are also experiencing sagging in this area, liposuction may not be the best treatment.  I would seek an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon.

Richard J. Bruneteau, MD · Answer

It’s not unusual for patients to be concerned about
the appearance of their pubic region following massive weight loss. Under these
circumstances, patients complain of localized pubic fat collections which are
often associated with excess saggy skin in the area.

When this situation arises, liposuction may not
adequately address the problem if loose skin is present. For this reason, tummy
tuck surgery might be more appropriate. It’s virtually impossible to make a
recommendation regarding your situation without pictures or a physical
examination.

It’s therefore important to consult a
board-certified plastic surgeon with experience treating massive weight loss
patients. This surgeon should be able to outline a plan
that’s appropriate for your unique anatomic findings.

Fat removal from the pubic area is frequently requested in my private practice. Liposuction of the pubis area is very effective in removing this fat which is usually resistant to diet and exercise. I routinely perform this procedure in my Atlanta practice.

What you are describing is very common and straightforward, and will usually result in very nice results. It can be done traditionally, or even be combined with ultrasound to help break up some of the tougher areas of fat in this area, but either way works well.

After significant weight loss, both men and women experience residual fat "rolls" in the pubic area. There's also excess sagging and excess skin associated with this. Liposuction can improve this, but to rejuvenate the pubic area one would need to do some skin excision to tighten and elevate this area for a more youthful appearance. I often find that there's a suprapubic bulge, but the labia majora are atrophic and would benefit from fat grafts at the same time.

Yes, Liposuction can be performed to this area (called the mons area). The pricing for this procedure at our facility runs around $1,500.00 - $2,500.00. This is normally performed under general anesthesia.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question.

It is not unusual for the pubic area to be an area of concern. This area may be large (prominent) , ptotic (low), or deflated. How to best address your specific concerns will depend on your physical examination and goals. Generally, treatment will involve excision of excess/ ptotic skin plus or minus liposuctioning.

I would suggest that you discuss your concerns/goals directly with your plastic surgeon, in front of the full-length mirror. Working together you will come up with the best course of action.

Best wishes.

Adam David Lowenstein, MD, FACS · Answer

The mons, or pubic area, is an area that is commonly addressed after significant weight loss. If your problem is only fat, liposuction can certainly help. If your issue also includes excess skin, an excision of the extra tissue may be in order. Ask a Board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation!

Jeffrey W. Hall, MD · Answer

Yes, liposuction will correct a fatty deposit, but will not correct loose or sagging skin.  I would speak with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
