What is a FUPA treatment?
The treatment focuses on removing or reducing fat deposits in the upper pubic area. Depending on the situation, this can be done surgically or non-surgically. With surgical methods such as liposuction, fat cells are removed manually, which gives immediate results. Non-surgical techniques, such as cryolipolysis (fat freezing) or radiofrequency, break down the fat cells without incisions, after which the body clears them naturally.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
A FUPA treatment is intended for people bothered by stubborn fat in the upper pubic area that does not respond to diet and exercise. It is suitable for both men and women who want to achieve a tighter and more proportioned silhouette. This treatment is ideal for people in good general health with a stable body weight, and can be adapted to the specific needs of the patient.
How does the treatment work?
The approach differs per method. In liposuction, a thin tube (cannula) is inserted through small incisions to suck out fat cells. This is usually done under local anaesthetic or sedation. For non-surgical options such as cryolipolysis, the fatty tissue is cooled to a temperature at which fat cells break down without damaging the surrounding tissue. Radiofrequency uses heat to remove fat cells and tighten the skin at the same time.
Surgical methods often deliver immediately visible results, while non-surgical treatments need several weeks to months before the body has fully processed the broken-down fat cells.
Recovery and results
With surgical procedures it is common to experience some swelling and bruising, which usually subsides within a few weeks. Compression garments may be prescribed to support the treated area and speed up healing. Non-surgical treatments usually require no recovery time, although mild redness or tenderness can occur.
The results of a FUPA treatment depend on the method chosen. Surgical procedures offer immediate and lasting improvements, provided the weight remains stable. Non-surgical techniques show more subtle results, which become visible gradually as the body clears the fat cells.
Possible risks
Although a FUPA treatment is generally safe, side effects can occur, such as temporary numbness, swelling, bruising or slight asymmetry in the treated area. Choosing an experienced practitioner minimises these risks and contributes to an optimal result.
Conclusion
A FUPA treatment is an effective way to reduce excess fat in the upper pubic area and give the body a tighter and more proportioned appearance. With both surgical and non-surgical options, the treatment can be adapted to individual needs and preferences, so you can enjoy a refined and confident appearance.
