What Patients Should Know Before Considering Fat Pubic Area Surgery in Korea

The fat that collects in the pubic and lower abdominal region — commonly called the FUPA or mons pubis — responds poorly to diet and exercise. Unlike subcutaneous fat elsewhere on the body, this area contains densely packed fibrous tissue that tends to persist regardless of overall weight loss. For many patients, this leads to more than aesthetic frustration: skin folding can cause friction, moisture buildup, and chronic skin irritation that affects daily comfort.

This is why fat pubic area surgery has become an increasingly common consideration — not as a cosmetic indulgence, but as a medically grounded response to a structural issue.

Clinical Approaches to Pubic Fat Removal

Not all fat pubic area surgery is the same. Understanding the difference between the two main approaches helps patients identify the right fit for their condition.

Pubic liposuction: When skin elasticity is reasonably preserved and the concern is localized fat volume, liposuction alone can reshape the area without excision. The access point is small, and recovery is considerably shorter.

Which approach applies depends on individual anatomy — something that requires a proper clinical evaluation, not a generalized recommendation.

How 365mc Approaches Fat Pubic Area Surgery

At 365mc Seoul, fat pubic area surgery is performed using LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimally Invasive Liposuction) — a proprietary technique validated through collaborative research with Seoul National University College of Medicine.

LAMS uses a 3–4mm micro-cannula under local anesthesia only. There is no general anesthesia, no surgical incision, and no compression garment required. The access point is placed within the panty line. For eligible patients, same-day discharge is standard.

As with any fat pubic area surgery, individual results differ. Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, asymmetry, or skin irregularity. These should be discussed openly during consultation.
