How to Get Rid of Your FUPA

Athēnix is all about helping people feel good about themselves. Today, we're talking about the "fupa" – the stubborn fat that gathers in the upper pubic area.

Here, we'll cover everything you need to know about facing your fupa, from understanding why it happens to practical solutions for getting the smoother, more contoured shape you want.

What is a Fupa, and What Causes It?

"Fupa" stands for "fat upper pubic area," and it refers to extra fat between the hips and above the pubic bone, which is sometimes known as a "panniculus." Here are some reasons it happens:

• Genetics can make fat build up in this area
• Hormonal changes and weight fluctuations can also affect how fat is distributed
• As you get older, your metabolism and hormones can change, leading to more fat buildup over time
• Pregnancy and abdominal surgeries, such as c-sections, can cause fat accumulation

Shrink Your Fupa with a Healthier Lifestyle

To reduce the appearance of a fupa and achieve a smoother silhouette, it's essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here are some of our favorite tips:

Nutrition

• Eat Whole Foods: Build your meals around fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats to get essential nutrients and feel satisfied.
• Control Portions: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating, which can lead to weight gain and fat buildup.
• Limit Processed Foods and Sugary Drinks: Cut back on processed foods, sugary snacks, and drinks with added sugars, as they can contribute to weight gain and inflammation.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support your body's natural detoxification processes.

Exercise

• Do Cardio: Engage in activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming to burn calories and promote fat loss.
• Strength Training: Include exercises that build lean muscle mass and boost metabolism, such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and push-ups.
• Core Workouts: Tone and tighten your abdominal muscles with exercises like planks, crunches, Russian twists, and bicycle crunches.
• HIIT Workouts: Try high-intensity interval training to maximize calorie burn and fat loss in a shorter time.

Trimming the Fupa Without Surgery: Fat Reduction at Athēnix

Struggling with excess fat in the upper pubic area can be a source of frustration and self-consciousness for many individuals. At Athēnix Advanced Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Centers, we understand the impact unwanted fat deposits can have on your confidence and body image. That's why we're excited to offer the following fupa treatments:

CoolSculpting ELITE

CoolSculpting ELITE is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses advanced cooling technology to target and freeze stubborn fat cells in specific areas of the body, including the FUPA area. This innovative procedure addresses localized pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise, providing a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction.

During a CoolSculpting ELITE session, a specialized applicator delivers controlled cooling to the underlying fat cells. This process effectively freezes the fat cells, causing them to crystallize and undergo natural elimination from the body. Over time, the treated area experiences a noticeable reduction in fat, resulting in a smoother and more contoured appearance.

Morpheus8 Body

Morpheus8 Body is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target and remodel tissues deep below the skin's surface, including the fupa. This innovative procedure addresses stubborn fat and tightens the skin, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction for fupa treatment.

During a Morpheus8 Body session, tiny microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin and underlying fat in the area. This process stimulates collagen production and remodels the tissue, improving skin tightness and reducing excess fat. The result is a smoother, more contoured appearance in the upper pubic area.

Flatten Your Fupa: Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

Even with dedicated efforts through diet and exercise, stubborn fat in this area can be hard to get rid of, affecting body confidence and overall well-being. Luckily, Athēnix offers advanced surgical procedures like tummy tucks and liposuction to effectively flatten the fupa and help patients achieve smoother, more contoured results.

Tummy Tuck: The Ultimate Fupa Fix

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. For patients with a fupa, a tummy tuck can provide comprehensive correction by addressing both the excess fat and any loose or sagging skin in the area. During the procedure, an incision is made along the lower abdomen to remove excess skin and fat and repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result is a smoother, firmer abdominal contour and a flatter appearance of the fupa.

Liposuction: Precision Fat Removal for Fupa Reduction

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical technique to target and remove localized fat deposits from specific body areas. For individuals with a fupa, liposuction can be performed to selectively remove excess fat in the upper pubic region, resulting in a more defined and contoured appearance. Small incisions are made near the treatment area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out the unwanted fat. Liposuction offers precise fat removal and can be customized to address each patient's unique needs and goals, providing tailored results for fupa reduction.
