I have a pooch right below my navel, under my stomach that involves my pubic region. This pouch of what i think is fat. Is directly over my penis. I call it my "Forward Fanny pack". Can this be removed through Lipo? Is there anything major in that area of my pelvic region. Besides nerves, etc etc...? If not is it removable?
Answer: Pannus My opinion is that you would do well with liposuction of the abdomen and pubic area. Don't stop there, get a panniculectomy (removal of fat) 6 months later. I understand that these are three procedures, but if you want to decrease the fat over the genitals and then lift it so that excess skin is not overhanging your result will be better. I hope this helps! Dr. Dillon

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lipo vs. excision Thanks for your photo. you do have some extra fat in the region of your pubis and lower abdomen. if it's just extra fat with no extra skin, liposuction alone can help treat this, but in your scenario, there seems to be some extra skin and folds involved. Therefore, you may be better off doing a bigger surgery, such as a tummy tuck or panniculectomy, to better treat this area. It would be good to first be at a weight you are comfortable with before pursuing the surgery to optimize your long term result. -Dr. David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group

Answer: FUPA Treatment with Plastic Surgery The Fat Upper Pubic Area you've described in the images can usually be treated with liposuction. In your case, I would recommend a formal evaluation to see if you are a candidate for this or if you would be better served by a Tummy Tuck since liposuction can only remove fat but a Tummy Tuck can also remove skin. In your specific case it seems there is a lot of excess fat and skin which would need more than just liposuction. In both cases, the nerves are usually not affected and you should expect a full recovery. Goodluck, Dr. Chopra

Answer: Best Option Hi! For your guidance, obesity, cellulite, stretch marks, a history of “yo-yo” weight gain/loss, or loose, sagging, inelastic skin, are problems which would tend toward poor results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction and may be best addressed by other procedures such as a leg or body lift (e.g. tummy tuck) to improve the patient’s appearance. Patients should be aware that liposuction is NOT a method of weight loss and muscle toning, or an alternative to diet and exercise. It does not affect one's metabolism. Regular exercise and diet is still recommended in maintaining good and lasting liposuction results. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Pubic fat It is common to have fat in this area. Liposuction could definitely help. You may need removal of skin in this area as well to get the best results.
