Pubectomy and pubic liposuction are surgical procedures performed to reduce the amount of excess fat and tissue in the pubic area. These procedures can be carried out based on a person's aesthetic preferences or medical needs.

Pubectomy: Pubectomy is the surgical removal of excess skin and fat tissue in the pubic area. This procedure is often performed as part of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or during gender confirmation surgeries. Removing the excess skin and fat tissue from the pubic area can help improve the body's contour and achieve a more aesthetic appearance.

Pubic Liposuction: Pubic liposuction is the process of removing excess fat tissue from the pubic area using a vacuum-assisted cannula. This procedure aims to reduce fat accumulation in the pubic area, thereby improving the body's contour. Pubic liposuction is commonly preferred in cases of excessive fat accumulation due to weight gain or aging.

Both procedures are typically performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon removes or suctions out the excess skin or fat tissue. The surgical area is then closed with stitches, and the healing process begins.

Why is it done?

Pubectomy and pubic liposuction may be performed for the following reasons:

• Aesthetic reasons: To improve the body's contour, reduce fat accumulation in the pubic area, and achieve a more aesthetic appearance.
• Medical reasons: It may be necessary for individuals experiencing discomfort or pain due to excessive pubic fat accumulation, or during abdominoplasty or gender confirmation surgeries.

Both procedures can be performed based on the person's desires and health condition. However, as with any surgical procedure, potential risks and complications should be considered. Therefore, individuals considering these procedures are advised to consult with a specialist.
