Suprapubic Lipolysis and Liposuction (Reveal a Hidden Penis)

The suprapubic area—the region just above the penis—can develop a fat pad that obscures the base of the penile shaft. This “buried penis” appearance makes the penis seem shorter than it truly is. Suprapubic fat accumulation is common among men with weight gain, hormonal shifts, or aging, and even in some fit men due to genetics. At our clinic, we offer both surgical liposuction and non-surgical fat-dissolving injections to reduce the fat pad and restore a more exposed, prominent penile profile.

Liposuction Procedure (Surgical Option)

Suprapubic liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery performed under local anesthesia with sedation or short general anesthesia, depending on comfort and goals. The process includes:

  • Tiny incisions hidden in the pubic crease or hairline

  • Insertion of a fine cannula to remove fat from the mons pubis and around the penile base

  • Contouring to the groin and lower abdomen for a smooth, proportionate outcome

Benefits:

  • Reveals 1–2 inches of hidden penile shaft in most cases

  • Enhances visual length and prominence of the penis

  • Can improve the angle of erection and projection

  • Creates a more youthful lower abdomen and genital area

The results are permanent if weight is maintained. Removed fat cells do not return, although weight gain can cause remaining cells to expand.

Injection Lipolysis (Non-Surgical Option)

For men with moderate fat pads or seeking a non-invasive approach, we offer fat-dissolving injections using compounds like deoxycholic acid (similar to Kybella). The process involves:

  • Series of microinjections into the suprapubic fat layer

  • No incisions or stitches

  • Gradual fat breakdown over several weeks

  • Minimal downtime, suitable for men preferring non-surgical options

Ideal for mild to moderate fat deposits, with visible contouring over 2–3 sessions.

What to Expect from Results

  • Surgical liposuction: Immediate fat removal; final contour visible after swelling subsides (2–4 weeks)

  • Injection lipolysis: Gradual fat reduction over a few months

Patients are often amazed by the optical gain in penile length, especially in the flaccid state. While the penis hasn’t grown, more of it is visible, which significantly improves confidence and aesthetics.

Combining this procedure with penile enlargement, filler injections, or suspensory ligament release can yield transformative results in both length and girth appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Liposuction:

    • Compression garment for 1–2 weeks

    • Mild bruising or swelling expected

    • Desk work can resume in 2–3 days; full activity in 1–2 weeks

  • Injection lipolysis:

    • Minimal tenderness/swelling

    • Resume normal activities almost immediately

We provide detailed post-care guidance for optimal healing and contour retention.

Ideal Candidates

  • Men with a prominent suprapubic fat pad hiding part of their penis

  • Men with disproportionate fat in that area despite otherwise normal weight

  • Post-weight loss patients with lingering fat or laxity

  • Men seeking aesthetic improvement in the pubic region for appearance, hygiene, or intimacy

For those with loose skin after major fat reduction, we can refer for pubic lift surgery if needed.

FAQs – Suprapubic Fat Removal

How much visible length will I gain?

On average, 1–2 inches of flaccid length may be revealed. Erect length appears longer too, simply because the base is no longer buried under fat. A study noted that ~30 lbs of weight loss often yields ~1 inch more visible penis; surgical removal simulates that instantly.

Will there be scars?

Liposuction incisions are tiny (~5 mm) and well-concealed.

They fade with time. Injection lipolysis leaves no scars.

Will fat come back?

Removed fat cells do not return. However, significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells. Weight maintenance ensures lasting results.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Absolutely. We commonly combine this with:

  • Suspensory ligament release (to drop the penis forward)

  • Penile fillers or implants (for girth)

  • Abdominal liposuction or tummy tuck (with plastic surgeon coordination)

Will it improve my overall pubic area appearance?Yes. The lower abdomen looks flatter, the penis projects more, and clothing fits better. The change is both aesthetic and functional, improving hygiene and self-confidence.
