Does excessive suprapubic fat affect my eligibility for the implant? Why is it important to get in shape before the procedure?

The presence of excessive fat in the suprapubic area can impact your eligibility for the Himplant.

Excess suprapubic fat can exert pressure at the base of the implant, which can interfere with its positioning, potentially compromising the visual results of the procedure and increasing the likelihood of complications.

While some Himplant providers may offer lipectomy or liposuction, our primary recommendation is to strive towards your target weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise before the procedure. A handy tool for evaluating eligibility is the Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator.

However, it's important to note that BMI is not the only determining factor, as individuals distribute weight differently. If necessary, you can always provide photos to the Himplant medical team, and they can assist in determining the best course of action for you.
