The most common cause is <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hormonal-belly-men\/\">weight gain<\/a>. When the body gains weight, fat cells expand in size. These expanded fat cells can accumulate in the lower abdomen, leading to a FUPA (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5534659\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other causes of a FUPA can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pregnancy\"><\/span><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During pregnancy, the body produces hormones that cause the body to hold on to extra fat. This extra fat is typically stored in the abdominal area, which can lead to a FUPA post-pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aging\"><\/span><strong>Aging<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we age, our skin loses elasticity (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6047276\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This can cause the skin in the lower abdominal area to sag, leading to a FUPA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genetics\"><\/span><strong>Genetics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people are predisposed to carrying extra weight in their lower abdominal area.

While liposuction can be an effective way to get rid of a FUPA, it\u2019s also possible to develop a FUPA after liposuction if you don\u2019t maintain a healthy weight (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3901919\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Abdominal_Surgery\"><\/span><strong>Other Abdominal Surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other abdominal surgery, such as a C-section, can also lead to the development of a FUPA.

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Exercise can help you burn more calories and slim down your body, including your FUPA (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3925973\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best exercises to lose weight are cardiovascular exercises, such as running, walking, and biking. These activities will help you burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also want to do some strength-training exercises, such as squats and lunges, to tone your muscles.

The most common cause is <a href=\\\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/hormonal-belly-men\/\\\">weight gain<\/a>. When the body gains weight, fat cells expand in size. These expanded fat cells can accumulate in the lower abdomen, leading to a FUPA (<\/span><a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5534659\/\\\"><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">).<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Other causes of a FUPA can include:<\/span>\\r\\n<h3><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong><\/h3>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">During pregnancy, the body produces hormones that cause the body to hold on to extra fat. This extra fat is typically stored in the abdominal area, which can lead to a FUPA post-pregnancy.<\/span>\\r\\n<h3><strong>Aging<\/strong><\/h3>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">As we age, our skin loses elasticity (<\/span><a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6047276\/\\\"><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">). This can cause the skin in the lower abdominal area to sag, leading to a FUPA.<\/span>\\r\\n<h3><strong>Genetics<\/strong><\/h3>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Some people are predisposed to carrying extra we ...\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fat-upper-pubic-area\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fat-upper-pubic-area\/\",\"name\":\"Fat Upper Pubic Area (FUPA): How To Get Rid Of It - BetterMe\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fat-upper-pubic-area\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fat-upper-pubic-area\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/shutterstock_2014229264.jpg\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-12-16T08:35:01+00:00\",\"description\":\"Feeling self-conscious about your \u2605 FAT UPPER PUBIC AREA?
