Potential treatment modalities for suprapubic adiposity and pubic contouring.

Excess suprapubic adiposity can have negative consequences for patients, including concerns related to physical comfort, sexual function, hygiene, and esthetics. Historically, treatment options for pubic contouring have been limited to surgical methods. The purpose of this article is to review the literature investigating the use of minimally invasive fat reduction treatments for suprapubic adiposity including cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, and ultrasound. A thorough search of the PubMed database was conducted to search for studies evaluating the use of cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, and ultrasound for suprapubic adiposity. The literature search did not yield any publications that evaluated the use of cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, or ultrasound for treatment of suprapubic adiposity. Minimally invasive treatments for fat reduction, including cryolipolysis, injection lipolysis, radiofrequency, and ultrasound, have clinically demonstrated safety and efficacy in various anatomic locations. However, clinical studies evaluating these procedures for suprapubic adiposity are noticeably absent. These options may confer benefits such as decreased recovery time, risk, and cost to patients. Future clinical studies evaluating these potential treatment modalities for suprapubic fat reduction are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
