The Procedure

How Is It Performed?

FUPA liposuction is typically carried out using advanced liposuction techniques, for precision and low impact on surrounding tissues. Here’s what to expect during the procedure:

Anaesthesia: Patients are administered either local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure.
Small Incisions: Tiny incisions are made near the pubic area to insert a cannula (a thin tube).
Fat Removal: The surgeon uses specialised techniques to break up and suction out excess fat deposits.
Shaping: Careful contouring aims for an aesthetically pleasing result.
Closure: The incisions are closed, and a compression garment is applied to aid recovery and maintain the new shape.

The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity and individual anatomy.

Different Types of Liposuction Techniques

Tumescent Liposuction: A saline solution with anaesthetic and adrenaline is injected into the area to reduce bleeding and make fat removal easier.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): A vibrating cannula helps dislodge fat for smoother suction.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Ultrasound waves liquefy fat, aiding extraction.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Laser technology is used to melt fat before removal, often promoting skin tightening in the process.

Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable technique based on your unique needs and goals.

Am I a Good Candidate for FUPA Liposuction?

FUPA liposuction may be a suitable option for individuals who:

Struggle with Localised Fat: You have stubborn fat in the pubic area that does not respond to diet and exercise.
Have Good Skin Elasticity: Skin that can contract well after fat removal typically yields more optimal results.
Are at a Stable Weight: It is not a weight-loss solution but a contouring procedure for those near their ideal weight.
Are in Good Overall Health: Non-smokers with no medical conditions that may interfere with healing are ideal candidates.
Have Realistic Expectations: Understanding the possibilities and limitations of the procedure is crucial.

Potential Benefits of FUPA Liposuction

FAQ

How long does recovery take?

Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume full routines after 4-6 weeks, depending on individual healing.

Are the results permanent?

As long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, results are long lasting. Fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate.

Will there be scarring?

Scars are small and strategically placed in inconspicuous areas. They typically fade over time with proper care.

Does it hurt?

Discomfort is usually mild and managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe it as soreness similar to a workout.

When will I see results?

Initial results are visible once swelling reduces, usually within a few weeks. Final results can take up to six months.

Can FUPA liposuction be done alongside with other procedures?

Yes, it is often performed alongside abdominal liposuction or other contouring procedures for comprehensive results. Discuss your goals with your surgeon.

Are there any risks involved?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection or uneven contours. Choosing a skilled surgeon like Dr Kohout reduces these risks. Here is the link to our risks and complications page: Risks and Complications of Plastic Surgery

Final Thoughts

FUPA liposuction is a surgical procedure that can reduce redundant, stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. While the procedure itself is straightforward, proper post-operative care is essential for optimal healing and results.
