Loose stomach skin and fupa fat. Should I do it as one surgery?

Question

I am a male and lost a lot of weight and have slight loose skin around the stomach, I also have stubborn fat around the pubic region. I don't need any fat removed from my stomach area but only from below it above my penis. Will there usually be two different incisions or just around the waist? Should I do it as one surgery? Also if I ever gain any weight does removing the fat affect how I will gain weight in that specific area? Thanks

It is in your best interest to complete these surgeries in a single fashion using a combination of liposuction and strategic skin excisions that can be done to transform your physique. Please consider a virtual consultation from a high definition body contouring provider who routinely works with weight loss patients.

Thank you for your question! It is hard to understand what you are asking without photos; however, you might just need some liposuction to your pubic region. There are many options for skin tightening. The extent of your loose skin will determine which procedure is best. Best of luck!

Dear D Wiz,
I understand your concern. It is best however that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine whether you can have several aesthetic surgeries in one session, as this would depend on various factors including but not limited to your general health condition, the type of anesthesia that will be used, and the type of surgeries that will be performed among others.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. It sounds as though you would simply need fat removal fromThe pubic area with liposuction. This can be done through a single small incision. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia while you’re awake and comfortable. Healing is very rapid and most people have swelling for 3-6 weeks post op.

It is very difficult to discuss your problem without in person evaluation or at least, series of good photos. It would be in your best interest to have consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.

Hello, thanks for asking. In your case, from what you explain to us, we cannot evaluate your case without photographs or without an evaluation to be able to see what type of abdominoplasty you need. Some patients with massive weight loss may require a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, which requires two incisions.

Thank you for your question. Depending on the degree of loose skin, you may need a skin resection which will not only address the redundant skin but will pull the pubic area upward and provide an element of a lift. Otherwise, you may require liposculpting of the abdomen and pubic area - hard to say without a picture. Either way, I recommend both procedures to be performed simultaneously which will allow for one recovery, instead of two. Hope this helps. Best of luck, -Dr. Sean Satey, Beverly Hills, CA.

An in person evaluation is needed to know for sure, but from your description you may benefit from a tummy tuck which would address the loose skin that you described.  The fat and loose skin around the groin could be addressed at the same time with the same incision.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
