Does Lower Belly Fat Bother You?

You eat well and exercise often. But extra fat still sits above your pubic area and creates a bulge that shows through your clothes or makes you feel uncomfortable during daily activities.

FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area) liposuction in NYC removes stubborn fat from the upper pubic area to create a flatter, smoother lower belly contour. The procedure targets the fat that collects above your pubic bone, which often won’t go away with diet and exercise alone because of genetics, pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.

Dr. Breitbart and the New York Liposuction Center understand how this area can affect your confidence in fitted clothing and intimate settings. We help you achieve the smoother, flatter lower belly profile you want.

What to Know About FUPA Liposuction in New York

FUPA liposuction removes extra fat from your upper pubic area, which is the soft tissue located just above your pubic bone and below your lower belly. This area is also called the mons pubis, and it naturally has some fat to protect the bone underneath.

Dr. Breitbart performs the procedure using tiny tools through small cuts hidden in the natural creases where your legs meet your body. A thin tube breaks up and removes the extra fat while a special liquid keeps you comfortable and reduces bleeding. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and can often be done with local numbing medicine and light sedation rather than full sleep anesthesia.

During your healing time, you’ll wear a snug garment around your lower belly to help reduce swelling and support the area as your skin adjusts to its new shape. As the puffiness goes down over the following days and weeks, your pubic area becomes flatter and smoother.

Benefits of FUPA Liposuction

FUPA liposuction offers several benefits that can improve both your appearance and comfort:

  • Creates a Flatter Lower Belly Contour: Removes the bulge above your pubic area that creates an unwanted rounded appearance, so your lower belly looks smoother and more proportioned with the rest of your body from every angle.
  • Makes Tight Clothing Fit Better: Allows you to wear fitted pants, leggings, swimwear, and underwear more comfortably without worrying about visible bulging or fabric pulling across your lower belly area.
  • Removes Fat That Won’t Budge: Targets stubborn fat that stays in this area even when you lose weight elsewhere on your body, which finally gives you results that diet and exercise alone couldn’t achieve.
  • Boosts Confidence in Private Settings: Helps you feel more comfortable and confident during intimate moments and when undressed, which can improve your overall quality of life and self-image.
  • Offers Quick Recovery Time: Takes only one to two hours to complete and allows most people to return to normal daily activities within three to five days.
  • Provides Long-Lasting Results: Removes fat cells that won’t come back to the treated area, so your smoother lower belly contour lasts long-term when you maintain your weight through balanced habits.

Ideal Candidates for FUPA Liposuction

FUPA liposuction works best for people who have extra fat in the upper pubic area but are otherwise at or close to their goal weight. Here’s who usually qualifies:

Stubborn Upper Pubic Area Bulge

You have noticeable fat above your pubic bone that creates a bulge or rounded appearance even when you’re at a healthy weight for your body.

Good Skin Tightness

Your skin in the pubic area has enough natural firmness to shrink smoothly after fat removal, which helps you get a flat result without loose or saggy skin.

Fat Resistant to Diet and Exercise

You’ve tried losing weight through healthy eating and working out, but the upper pubic area stays puffy because fat in this spot is stubborn by nature.

Post-Pregnancy or Weight Change Concerns

You’ve had children or experienced weight gain and loss that left extra fat in your pubic area that won’t respond to traditional weight loss methods.

Genetic Fat Accumulation

Your family members also have fullness in this area, which means you inherited the tendency to store fat above your pubic bone regardless of your fitness level.

Desire for Better Clothing Fit

You want to wear fitted pants, swimsuits, and activewear more comfortably without worrying about visible bulging in your lower belly and pubic area.

What to Expect During a Consultation at our New York Office

Your consultation starts with Dr. Breitbart looking at your upper pubic area and lower belly to see how much extra fat you have and check if your skin is firm enough. He feels the area gently to understand the fat distribution and evaluates whether you have only fat or also loose skin concerns.

Dr. Breitbart talks with you about what bothers you most about your pubic area and what you hope to achieve with the procedure. He explains whether liposuction alone will give you the results you want or if you might need other treatments combined. You’ll review what happens during the procedure, how your healing will go, and see photos of results he’s achieved for other people with similar concerns.

Our New York office gives you clear instructions on how to prepare for your FUPA liposuction procedure. We make sure you understand everything from start to finish, so you feel confident and ready when moving forward with treatment.

How to Prepare for Your FUPA Liposuction

Good preparation helps your procedure and healing go more smoothly:

Compression Garment

Buy a properly fitted lower belly compression garment before your procedure date so it’s ready to wear right after surgery for support and swelling control.

Loose Clothing

Get several pairs of loose pants or skirts with elastic waists that won’t press on your pubic area, which makes getting dressed much easier while the area is tender.

Recovery Area Setup

Arrange your bedroom with extra pillows to help you rest comfortably and keep easy-to-reach items nearby since bending might feel uncomfortable during the first few days.

Ice Packs

Buy soft gel ice packs and arnica pills to help manage puffiness and bruising during your first week of recovery after the procedure.

Stop Blood Thinners

Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and fish oil at least two weeks before surgery, following Dr. Breitbart’s exact instructions to prevent extra bleeding.

Transportation

Make sure a trusted adult can drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for at least the first day while the numbing medicine wears off.

Preparing well for FUPA liposuction in New York helps your recovery stay comfortable.

FUPA Liposuction Procedure Steps

Your FUPA liposuction procedure follows a process designed to remove fat while keeping you comfortable throughout.

Dr. Breitbart gives you numbing medicine for the treatment area and often adds light sedation to help you stay relaxed and calm during the procedure. This approach lets you avoid full sleep anesthesia while making sure you won’t feel pain, Your heart rate and breathing are watched closely to keep you safe as the medicine starts working.

A special liquid with numbing medicine and other ingredients gets put under your skin in the upper pubic area. This fluid makes the fat puff up and get firmer, which makes taking it out easier while also making blood vessels smaller to stop bleeding and bruising during the procedure. The liquid spreads through the tissue as it works, and this step helps protect the areas around the fat while making everything go more smoothly.

Tiny cuts only a few millimeters long get made in hidden spots in the creases where your legs meet your body. These small openings let the surgeon reach all the treatment areas while keeping any future scars very small and hidden. The smart placement lets our surgeon work well across the whole pubic area while giving you the best-looking final result.

A thin tube gets put through the cuts to break up and pull out the extra fat from above your pubic bone. The tool moves in careful patterns as it targets the fat deposits and shapes the area to create the flat contour you’re looking for. During this part, our surgeon pays close attention to taking out the right amount of fat while making smooth changes between treated and untreated spots for natural-looking results.

The surgical team checks your pubic area and lower belly from different angles to make sure everything looks even and smooth as the procedure continues. Any bumps or uneven spots get fixed through extra sculpting, which creates the flat, smooth appearance that matches your body’s natural shape. This careful work makes sure your results look natural and balanced rather than overdone or lumpy.

The small cuts get very few stitches or are left to close on their own since they’re designed to heal with almost no visible scarring. Your compression garment goes on over the pubic area to give support as your tissue settles into its new shape. You then move to a recovery area where staff watches you briefly before giving you detailed care instructions and letting you go home.

Procedures Often Combined with FUPA Liposuction

Some people combine FUPA liposuction with other procedures to fix multiple concerns in one surgery session.

Tummy Tuck

Many people combine FUPA liposuction with a tummy tuck to fix both extra fat and loose skin at the same time. The tummy tuck removes saggy skin and tightens belly muscles while liposuction takes away the fat in the pubic area, and these procedures work together to create a complete lower body makeover.

This combination works especially well for people after pregnancy or major weight loss who have both fat and skin concerns. You get a flatter belly from top to bottom with tighter muscles and less fat. This creates more dramatic improvement than either procedure could provide alone.

Mommy Makeover

FUPA liposuction often gets included as part of a mommy makeover to address pregnancy-related body changes all at once. The mommy makeover typically combines breast surgery, tummy procedures, and liposuction in areas like the pubic region to restore your pre-pregnancy body in a single operation.

This combination saves you recovery time by fixing everything together rather than through separate surgeries. You address all the areas that pregnancy affected in one treatment. Most women find this approach more convenient and are very happy with their complete transformation results.

FUPA Liposuction Recovery Timeline

Recovery from FUPA liposuction in New York moves through stages, though your timeline might be different based on how much treatment you had.

Days 1-3

You’ll feel tightness, mild soreness, and obvious puffiness in your pubic area during these first days. Your compression garment gives important support and should stay on continuously. You should rest as much as possible while avoiding bending or lifting anything heavy during this early stage.

Days 3-7

Swelling stays noticeable but starts getting better slowly each day, and any bruising you have will begin fading throughout this first week. You can do light activities like walking around your house and desk work.

Weeks 2-3

Puffiness goes down and your pubic area starts looking flatter as each week passes. You can slowly add moderate activities like longer walks, and most people feel okay going back to social activities once the main swelling and bruising fade during this period.

Weeks 3-6

Your lower belly continues getting smoother as leftover swelling goes away and your skin gets tighter over the new shape. You can go back to most normal activities, including light exercise. However, you should still avoid very hard workouts that could strain your pubic area until you’re fully healed.

3 Months

Your pubic area reaches most of its final flat shape at this point, with any remaining tiny bit of puffiness barely noticeable. The smoother lower belly you’ve been waiting to see becomes fully clear, and the small cut marks have faded to thin lines that blend into your natural skin creases.

6 Months and Beyond

Your results reach their final look as all healing finishes and your skin fully settles over the new contour. The fat cells taken out during your procedure are gone forever, so your flatter pubic area lasts long-term when you keep your weight steady through healthy eating and staying active.

FAQs About FUPA Liposuction

Here are the most common questions patients ask as they explore FUPA Liposuction and what the process involves.

Right candidates are people at or near their goal weight who have stubborn fat above the pubic bone that creates a bulge or rounded appearance. You should have fairly firm skin and realistic hopes about results. Dr. Breitbart checks your specific pubic area concerns during consultation to figure out if liposuction alone will give you what you want or if you might need other treatments too.

The procedure typically takes one to two hours based on how much fat needs removing and how much shaping the area needs. Most FUPA liposuction finishes relatively quickly because the treatment area is smaller than other body regions, which makes this an efficient procedure for busy people.

Most FUPA liposuction uses local numbing medicine for the treatment area, often combined with light sedation to help you stay relaxed and calm. This approach lets you avoid full sleep anesthesia while making sure you won’t feel pain. Some people prefer stronger sedation or full sleep anesthesia based on their comfort level and how much treatment they need.

Scarring stays very small because the cuts are tiny and placed in hidden spots in the creases where your legs meet your body. These marks fade a lot over time and typically become barely noticeable, especially when hidden by underwear, swimwear, or the natural folds in your skin.

Most people return to desk work within three to five days after their procedure. Jobs needing physical labor or activities that could strain your pubic area need one to two weeks off for proper healing. Your specific timeline depends on how much puffiness you have and how quickly your body responds during recovery.

First improvement shows up once swelling goes down around one to two weeks after the procedure. Your pubic area keeps getting flatter over the next several months as leftover puffiness goes away and your skin tightens fully. Final results become clear at three to six months when all healing finishes and tissue has completely settled into the new flat shape.

FUPA liposuction removes only fat from the upper pubic area through small cuts using suction. Monsplasty (also called a pubic lift) removes both fat and extra loose skin through larger cuts and may also tighten tissue underneath. Your treatment choice depends on whether you have just fat or both fat and saggy skin. Dr. Breitbart helps you understand which approach will work best for your specific situation.

FUPA liposuction works very well combined with tummy tucks to fix both fat and loose skin at the same time, or as part of a mommy makeover to address multiple pregnancy-related changes together. Some people also combine it with thigh or hip liposuction for complete lower body shaping. Dr. Breitbart talks about good combinations during your consultation based on your specific concerns and goals.
