Are my expectations of pubic fat pad reduction realistic?

chew1979
I am 5'10" and 175 lb currently, 35 years, Male. Over the past year and a half that is down from 240 lb, a total of 65 lb weight loss. I have lost fat in most areas of my body and am pleasantly surprised that my skin doesn't seem lax and has tightened with the weight loss. However, I still have a pubic fat pad problem. It is currently between 1.5-1.75 inches thick. Would it be a reasonable expectation with liposuction to get that down to between 0.5-0.75 inches thick? Thank you for your advice.
