I'm not sure how to say this, there is no not-awkward way ...

I work out a lot, love to be physically active, so my muscles have grown strong in the 2 years since surgery. As I lose fat and strengthen my muscle tone, I can see the "real" shape of me emerging, I can see areas that were just hiding under fat and areas that are *genuinely* shaped a certain way, not just from fat.

One of these areas is my um ... oh dear, I believe the medical term is for the entire region is "vulva". With drooping excess skin and stubborn fat, I cannot wear pants unless I wear a loose tunic shirt. It is just terrible and makes me feel so self-conscious, people meet me and their eyes instantly drop to my crotch and I know what they are looking at and what they are thinking. And in case you are wondering, it's all trousers, loose straight leg, heavy fabric.

So my question is, are there specific ... liposuction procedures for that front area? vulva tuck? I'm not talking about labioplasty or anything regarding the genitals. Help and thank you.

I thing that area you are referring to is the mons pubis. I think a plastic surgeon could tell you the answer as to what can be done for you' date=' but I bet there is something. I saw a show on discovery health a while back, and this girl in England had lost a bunch of weight, had plastics, but they botched it. She was left with what she called her "willie" and it was quite pronounced. After a revision, she looked great and no longer had her "willie".

On another note, congrats on your weight loss and new found health! That must feel so great to see your new shape emerging![/quote']

Omigod!!!!! That is awful! I hope she sued!

I am a big believer in shapewear, the heavy artillery. But even with that, and well fitting straight legged pants, the upper thigh and lower gut still sandwich together and the upper pubic area is so rounded and pronounced it draws the eye like a magnet. If you drew a perfect circle on a piece of paper, and drew a pair of lines from the middle bottom, like a lollipop, and then drew wider lines off the top of the lollipop, you would have a side view of my body. My pubic/belly is more pronounced than my rear, I'm absolutely seriously not exaggerating v_v

Although I pretty small now (8 s or m) I have to say my lower abdomen is more pronounced than my backside. It is flat as a pancake. Hoping to get rid of the last of the belly and FUPA with plastics in the next few weeks though.

It's called a FUPA !!! Lol

I was reading through this and going to post the same thing. Hehe! I knew I wasn't the only person who used this term.

A tummy tuck pulls it all up....looks brand new

I've never worn shape wear/spans,I wouldn't even know how to buy it. There are sooo many of them on the market, who knows what's best? One area that bothers me (well maybe more lol) my upper inner thigh...there is like a ripple/fold/crease/flap, I don't know what it would be called, but I have to wear a skirted bathing suit because of it and I can even see it through pants...if I wore skin tight jeans (like I used to when I had lapband), you couldn't see it but I notice it in everything else

Yeah I basically just look terrible, no clothing can camouflage my deflated balloon body. Trousers, no matter how thick or stiff show my empty pudding bag thighs and fatty mons and fat sacs on the lower outer hip. My upper arms are doughy and floppy no matter how loose and graceful the sleeve, the bra rolls ooze out prominently no matter how well fitted the bra. I just look like $h!t, I look like some middle aged sterotype of a soccer mom, like I haven't worked hard at all. It's depressing.
