Many women are concerned about losing a FUPA post a C-section. Thankfully, it can be eliminated with the help of a monsplasty or mons liposuction and give you your pre-pregnancy body back. This can be combined with tummy tuck surgery.
Abdominoplasty is designed to remove fat and tighten loose skin in the abdominal area, which can have a positive impact on the appearance of the mons pubis. However, if the pubic area is more than minimally saggy, a tummy tuck won't help enough.
Fat Upper Pubic Area (FUPA) Liposuction is the surgical removal of excess fatty tissue in the pubic area or pubic mons, just below the lower abdomen. Both genders can develop FUPA, but it is most common for women as they go through pregnancy, weight loss, and aging.
The cause of your FUPA may be due to:1 normal swelling after your liposuction procedure2 Lack of liposuction of the suprapubic region with your liposuction procedureIf your procedure was within the last 6-12 weeks, swelling is playing a role in the localized fullness of the area.
Weight gain and loss are also often responsible for the pockets of fat and loose skin associated with this condition. It is commonly developed in women after having children, as weight gain and muscle laxity predominantly occur in and around this region. Another potential cause is diet.
Some surgical options to reduce the FUPA include: Monsplasty: This procedure removes fat and, sometimes, skin from the pubic mound. Liposuction: This common cosmetic surgery removes excess fat from under the skin.

A tummy tuck doesn't include a pubic lift because it focuses on contouring the belly region, tightening the skin and muscles in your midsection. In some cases, the general trimming and contouring of your midsection can improve your pubic region's general appearance, though that isn't intentional.

To the uninitiated, FUPA is an acronym for “fat upper pubic area.” Technically, it is called the panniculus. It's a loose layer of fat in the lower abdomen region that sometimes emerges because of rapid weight loss or recent pregnancy. Other times it's there because that's just how your body is.
FUPA can either be treated as 'just another permanent side-effect of pregnancy', or it can be treated the right way – through proper diet, exercise, and conscious health and lifestyle choices. One approach makes it a permanent problem, the other will lead you to a permanent solution… the choice is yours!
