One of the most overlooked areas of the body is the pubic area. With the fashion trend of low cut jeans/pants, this area is becoming much more visible. In addition, men and women have begun paying closer attention to the appearance of this area, utilizing treatments such as laser hair removal and brazilian bikini waxing. As we age, the pubic area drops and becomes pouchy in appearance. In addition, for patients who gain weight the pubic area adjusts accordingly. This excess skin and fat may obscure or put excess weight on either the penis or vaginal area. Unfortunately many plastic surgeons fail to address this issue. I have devised the easiest answer to this problem in what I call the PULL technique. PULL stands for Pubic Undermining Lift and Liposuction. It is a combination of skin and fat excision in the upper pubic area coupled with liposuction of the lower pubic and surrounding areas. This technique may also be used in conjunction with either a standard tummy tuck or a body lift. The scar is easily hidden in the same crease as the standard tummy tuck. The scar itself extends only over the pubic area. Bruising is minimal and there are no added drains. The PULL procedure takes 1 - 2 hours and is done either in a hospital or surgicenter with discharge home that same day. Recovery time is normally a few days with almost no down time. Most significantly it is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate this area without resorting to genital surgery. |
