Fat above Pubic Area. (photos)

User Avatar
tnmountainman41May 22, 2011
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?

Hi Leslie, thank you for your question! These lines look they are most likely from your compression garment. Unless your surgeon recommends otherwise, I would stop wearing it. These will likely improve with time.

Your concern seems to be if it would be easy for you to regain weight after you go through the expense, trouble and risk of a procedure such as liposuction, because of your hypothryoidism.  It's important to realize that many people who don't have thyroid trouble, must reset their...
