Yes: The area your referring to is the mons pubis. It would be rare to have an excess of tissue in this area without excess tissue in your lower abdomen as that area contributes to the mons. You would likely be better served with a tummy tuck and liposuction of your mons. The tuck would lift mons as well.

It depends: Liposuction helps remove the excess fat, but if you have loose skin it needs to be lifted.

Possibly: You may also need some liposuction in combination to skin resection.

Probably.: Congratulations on your significant weight loss. If you have “excess” skin and/or fatty tissue above the pubic area, this theory can be resected directly. Many patients will also elect to undergo tummy tuck surgery. Ultimately, much of what will be recommended will depend on your physical examination and goals. Best wishes.

Yes, but why?: Most tummy tucks (witch hazel) incorporate lifting of the pubis. The scar for just trying to lift the pubis wont be much different from a tummy tuck. Though it can be done, you're better off doing the tummy tuck to give you improvement in both areas.

Most likely yes: During your procedure this area can most likely be addressed with liposuction. Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.
