FUPA: The Fat Upper Pubic Area

FUPA stands for the fat upper pubic area, which refers to the excess fat that accumulates above the pubic bone and below the belly button. This can be a common concern for many people, particularly women who have given birth or individuals who have experienced significant weight gain. FUPA can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone and often requires medical intervention. At Rejuvenate Center for Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer FUPA surgery to target this area and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

The Appearance of the FUPA

The appearance of the FUPA can vary from person to person, but it is generally characterized by a bulge or excess fat in the area above the pubic bone and below the belly button. This can result in a protruding or sagging appearance, which can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. FUPA can be caused by genetics, weight gain, pregnancy, and aging and can be difficult to eliminate through traditional weight loss methods.

What is FUPA Surgery?

FUPA surgery is a medical procedure that targets excess fat tissues in the upper pubic area, just below the belly button. The procedure involves removing excess fat from this area through liposuction or other surgical techniques.

FUPA surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and is considered a relatively safe way to achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the midsection. Dr. Patel performs a highly personalized FUPA surgery to help you address your aesthetic concerns.

FUPA Surgery Corrects:

  • Excess fat in the area above the pubic bone and below the belly button
  • A protruding or sagging appearance in the midsection
  • Self-consciousness or discomfort with the appearance of the FUPA
  • Difficulty getting rid of FUPA through traditional weight loss methods
  • FUPA caused by genetics, weight gain, pregnancy, or aging

What Happens During FUPA Surgery

FUPA surgery typically involves liposuction or other surgical techniques to remove excess fat from the area above the pubic bone and below the belly button. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can be completed on an outpatient basis.

The surgeon will make small incisions in the FUPA area and use a cannula to remove excess fat. The surgeon will sculpt the area to create a more contoured appearance and ensure the surrounding tissue is not damaged.

The length of the procedure can vary depending on the amount of fat that needs to be removed and the complexity of the case.

After the procedure, patients must wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. It is important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.

FUPA Vs. Panniculus: Not To Be Confused

It’s important to note that FUPA and panniculus are different. While FUPA refers to excess fat in the area above the pubic bone and below the belly button, panniculus is an overhanging flap of skin and fat that can occur on the lower abdomen.

Panniculus is the result of significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies and requires a different surgical approach than FUPA surgery.

Benefits of FUPA Surgery:

  • Targeted fat removal in the FUPA area
  • Safe and effective way to achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance
  • Minimal scarring compared to traditional tummy tucks
  • Shorter recovery time compared to traditional tummy tucks
  • Can be performed on an outpatient basis
  • Boost in self-confidence and improved body image
  • Permanent results with proper diet and exercise maintenance
