Potential treatment modalities for suprapubic adiposity and pubic contouring

Area of Science:

• Aesthetic Medicine
• Dermatology
• Plastic Surgery

Background:

• Excess suprapubic adiposity presents challenges impacting physical comfort, sexual function, hygiene, and aesthetics.
• Traditional treatments for pubic contouring primarily involve surgical interventions.

Approach:

• This review examines literature on minimally invasive fat reduction methods for suprapubic adiposity.
• Searched PubMed for studies on cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, and ultrasound applied to the suprapubic area.

Key Points:

• No studies were found evaluating cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, or ultrasound for suprapubic adiposity.
• These minimally invasive techniques are proven safe and effective in other body areas.
• Absence of clinical data for suprapubic fat reduction using these methods.

Conclusions:

• Minimally invasive fat reduction options offer potential benefits like reduced recovery time, risk, and cost.
• Further clinical research is needed to assess the efficacy and safety of these treatments for suprapubic adiposity.
