Excess fat in the fat upper pelvic area (FUPA) can be frustrating and difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone. Many men and women struggle with this concern, especially after weight changes, pregnancy, or aging. At Cayra Clinic in Istanbul and Antalya, we offer advanced FUPA Surgery (liposuction and lifting) to help patients achieve a slimmer, smoother, and more confident lower abdomen and pelvic area.

If you’ve been searching for a permanent solution to stubborn fat in this sensitive area, FUPA surgery could be the right treatment for you.

What is FUPA Surgery?

FUPA surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat and tighten skin in the upper pelvic area (just above the pubic region). It can include:

• Liposuction : removes excess fat deposits

• Skin lifting/tightening : addresses sagging skin for a smoother contour

• Combination procedures : sometimes performed with tummy tuck or mommy makeover for enhanced results

This treatment is suitable for both men and women who are bothered by a noticeable bulge in the pelvic area.

Benefits of FUPA Surgery

• Removes stubborn fat resistant to diet & exercise
• Improves the appearance of the pelvic and lower abdominal area
• Tightens loose or sagging skin
• Boosts self-confidence and comfort in clothing
• Can be combined with other procedures (like tummy tuck) for a full transformation

How is the Procedure Performed?

At Cayra Clinic, FUPA surgery is performed by skilled plastic surgeons under safe conditions. The steps usually include:

• Consultation & Assessment

  • Surgeon evaluates the upper pelvic fat region (mons pubis)

  • Checks skin laxity, amount of fat, medical history

  • Discusses patient goals (how flat or contoured desired, whether lift/tightening also needed)

• Marking the Treatment Area

  • With patient standing, marks the fat upper pelvic region

  • Outlines where liposuction incisions will go

  • If lifting/tightening of skin is needed, marks skin excision areas too

• Anesthesia Administration

  • Depending on the case: local anesthesia + sedation, or general anesthesia

  • Ensures patient comfort and minimizes pain

• Liposuction of Fat

  • Small incisions are made (often near groin creases)

  • Cannula inserted under skin to break up and suction out excess fat

  • Surgeon works carefully to sculpt the area and avoid over- or under-removal for symmetry

• Skin Tightening / Lift (if needed)

  • If there’s looseness or sagging skin, after fat removal, excess skin may be excised or lifted

  • Sutures placed to secure the lifted skin and improve contour

• Closure and Dressing

  • Incisions closed (often with fine sutures)

  • Sterile dressings applied

  • Compression garments used to reduce swelling and help shape the area

• Post-Op Recovery

  • Rest and limited movement for first day or two

  • Use of compression garment for weeks to support healing

  • Managing swelling, bruising, mild discomfort with medication

  • Follow-up visits to monitor healing, remove sutures if needed, assess results

• Long-Term Results and Care

  • Final contour visible after swelling drops (several weeks)

  • Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps results last

  • Sometimes additional skin tightening or touch-ups may be needed if weight changes

The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, and results are long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is generally smooth, but following aftercare instructions is important:

• Swelling & Bruising – Mild, lasting 1–2 weeks.

• Compression Garment – Helps reduce swelling and support healing.

• Activity – Light walking is encouraged, but avoid intense exercise for 4–6 weeks.

• Results – Visible immediately after swelling subsides, with final results in 2–3 months.
