PUBIC LIFT

What is Pubic Lift?

As men age or go through changes in weight or hormone levels, it's common for the pubic region to accumulate fat and develop loose or sagging skin. This can create a bulky appearance and, in some cases, cause the penis to appear shorter or even partially hidden—especially when standing. These physical changes can affect both comfort and confidence, particularly in intimate settings.

A pubic lift and/or liposuction offers a surgical solution to restore a more contoured and masculine appearance to the lower abdomen and genital area. By removing excess fat and tightening the skin, this targeted procedure can enhance not only physical aesthetics but also self-esteem in social and personal situations.

The pubic lift involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the mons pubis and suprapubic region. Depending on the severity, the procedure may include liposuction for mild to moderate fat deposits or direct skin excision and suspension for more pronounced sagging. It is often paired with penile enhancement—such as lengthening or thickening—to create a well-balanced and natural-looking result tailored to each individual’s anatomy and goals.

BENEFITS OF PUBIC LIFT



Pubic Lift may offer the following benefits:

  • Visibly longer, more defined penile base
  • Restoration of a youthful, elevated contour
  • Improved comfort during physical activity or intimacy
  • Easier hygiene and reduced skin irritation
  • Boosted confidence in appearance—whether nude or in fitted clothing


For many men, the procedure restores both function and pride in their physical presence.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A PUBIC LIFT?

You may be a good candidate for a pubic lift and liposuction if you have noticeable excess fat or sagging skin in the pubic area, or if your penis appears shorter due to being partially buried beneath this tissue. Many men also seek this procedure to relieve discomfort or chafing during movement, particularly when exercising or wearing fitted clothing. It's ideal for those in good overall health who have realistic expectations about the outcomes and may already be considering penile enhancement as part of a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

During your consultation, Dr. Mahadik will carefully evaluate the degree of skin laxity and fat accumulation to determine the most effective surgical plan tailored to your individual anatomy. This personalized approach ensures that the results not only improve the appearance of the genital area but also contribute to greater comfort and confidence in everyday life.

PUBIC LIFT PROCEDURE

Treatment options for improving the appearance of the pubic area include liposuction and a direct excision with suspension lift, depending on the degree of fullness or sagging. Liposuction is typically recommended for men with mild to moderate fat accumulation. This minimally invasive technique uses fine cannulas to gently remove excess fat, allowing the skin to gradually retract and tighten on its own over time, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.

For those with more significant skin laxity or overhang, a direct excision and suspension lift may be more appropriate. This approach involves the removal of a carefully measured wedge of excess skin and fat from the pubic region. The remaining tissue is then lifted and securely anchored to the underlying fascia, providing long-lasting support and a firmer, more youthful contour.

Both procedures can be tailored to the patient’s needs and performed under either local or general anesthesia. The choice depends on the extent of the correction required and whether the treatment is being combined with other procedures, such as penile enhancement, for a more comprehensive result.

RECOVERY PROCESS

While pubic lift and liposuction are generally safe, they do carry some risks. We take every precaution to minimize these.

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Chest infections


While a pubic lift and liposuction are generally safe procedures, there are specific risks to consider, such as hypertrophic scarring (raised or thickened scars), prolonged swelling in the treated area, and, in rare cases, recurrence of the buried penis appearance. Recovery typically involves same-day discharge, with patients returning home within a few hours.

Pain is usually mild and can be easily managed with oral medication. Incisions are placed discreetly in the pubic hairline or beneath the penis to minimize visible scarring. Dressings are usually removed within 5 to 7 days, and most patients can return to desk jobs within 7 to 10 days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4 weeks, while sexual activity can typically resume after 6 weeks. Final results become more noticeable as swelling subsides, usually between 3 to 6 months post-surgery.

PUBIC LIFT RESULTS

Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight maintenance and proper post-operative care.

Following a pubic lift and/or liposuction, patients often report a cleaner, flatter pubic contour with a more visible penile base and improved overall definition. These physical improvements can lead to enhanced comfort during physical activity, as well as greater confidence in intimate settings and when wearing fitted clothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our services and features.

Yes, by reducing the bulge that obscures the base of the penis, the visible length increases, even though the actual length remains the same.
Minimal. Incisions are placed in natural folds or within the pubic hairline, making them virtually invisible over time.
Absolutely. It’s often performed with penile lengthening, thickening, or scrotal lift for full-area rejuvenation.
Discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. Most patients find the recovery period smooth and manageable.
Fat cells removed via liposuction do not return, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to preserve your results.
Yes we do. We know that it's normal for males to feel uncomfortable to share waiting rooms with women for such Cosmetic procedures. Dr Mahadik has a few sessions only for men to give you the comfort and confidence to come in.
In the majority of patients the results of penile lengthening are permanent. Penile Girth enhancement outcomes are also long lasting as we use dermis and fat combined rather than only fat.
Almost a third of the length of a penis is buried inside the body . After release the flaccid length is increased by 3- 5 cm. The erect length is proportional to the initial flaccid length and hence it does increase.
Dr Mahadik will not offer the procedure below 18 years of age. The penis has to grow to its full length before we can measure and decide what needs to be done.
We at Esmee recommend going for a combined one time procedure for length and girth enhancement. Although you can choose to do them separately.
The nerves and vessels which are essential in erection are not touched in the surgery. So apart from the swelling that makes the penis heavier for a few weeks , it does not affect in any other way. We recommend avoiding intercourse for 6 weeks post surgery.
Minor procedures like circumcision and scrotal web release can be done under local anaesthesia. Penile enhancement procedures need general anaesthesia.
