How do doctors do the pinch test for pubic liposuction? Where do they pinch, and is that number the pubic fat pad thickness?

Question

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

When evaluating area if one pages the skin and the distance between the two fingers is an inch or more liposuction may be of benefit. There are other areas where a smaller fold might still yield good results. The pubic area is one such.

Shlomo Widder, MD · Answer

Dear sglovesy,     The pinch test is done over the pubic bone by pinching the skin between the thumb and index finger. If the fat pinch is over 3/4 - 1 cm , than liposuction can improve the area by aspirating the fat. Few small incisions are needed for the criss- cross liposuction, in order to achieve smooth and even surface and prevent the fat from coming back.             Best of luck,                               Dr Widder
