Thinking about having unwanted fatty tissue removed from your mons pubis area via liposuction? Sometimes referred to as mons liposuction or monsplasty, this is a common plastic surgery procedure.
When reviewing liposuction of mons pubis before and after photos, you’ll notice right away that this procedure can create major improvements for patients with excess fatty tissue in their mons pubis area. Still, many patients are hesitant about undergoing the procedure. It is major surgery, after all.
To help ease your mind if you are considering mons pubis liposuction for yourself, let’s go over some of the most frequently asked mons pubis liposuction before and after questions and answers below.
Mons Pubis FAQs
Where is the mons pubis?
The mons pubis is the area of fatty tissue located just above the pubic bone on the lower abdomen. It covers and protects the pubic genital area and becomes more prominent with weight gain or hormonal changes.
What is mons pubis liposuction?
Mons pubis liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes unwanted fat cells from the pubic region (the area of fatty tissue just above the vaginal opening that is also sometimes called the pubic mound or upper pubic region). In some patients, excess fat in this area can cause self-consciousness, especially when wearing tight clothing or in intimate situations.
How is mons pubis liposuction performed?
Your plastic surgeon will make several small incisions so they can insert a thin metal tube (cannula) that will suction out fat from the mons pubis. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime afterwards.
Who is a good candidate for mons pubis liposuction?
Ideal candidates are those with localized fat in the mons pubis area that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Patients should also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results.
Can mons pubis liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Certainly. Mons pubis liposuction is often combined with procedures like tummy tucks or labiaplasty to achieve more comprehensive body contouring results. Your surgeon will discuss your best combination options based on your goals.
Is mons pubis liposuction painful?
Patients may feel some discomfort during recovery, but this is usually well managed with pain medication. Most people report that the discomfort is mild and subsides within a few days.
How much is mons pubis liposuction surgery?
Mons pubis liposuction prices vary based on how much excess fat you have the mons pubis region, your geographic location, whether you have excess skin that requires a mons pubis lift (pubic lift) as well, and other considerations. Consult with your plastic surgeon for more information.
What is recovery like after mons pubis liposuction?
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising that subsides within a week or two. Normal activities can usually be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Talk to your surgeon about when you can resume physical activity.
Will there be scarring after mons pubis liposuction?
Liposuction incisions are small and usually placed in discreet locations for this surgery. Any scars are typically minimal and fade over time, becoming barely noticeable.
Can mons liposuction get rid of loose skin around the lower abdomen?
No, mons reduction via liposuction only removes fat (though it is not a weight loss procedure) from the mons pubis region. Excess skin on the mons pubis or the lower abdomen requires an entirely different surgical procedure.
In addition, if you remove fat from the region when you have loose skin in the same area, the remaining skin may look loose and far worse after liposuction. Loose skin on the mons pubis is typically the result of losing weight or being pregnant.
What are the red spots on my pubic area where hair grows?
Sometimes, waxing, shaving, or other hair removal techniques in the pubic region (on the pubic mound) can lead to folliculitis, which can also be caused by bacterial and fungal infections. This should not affect mons liposuction.
Does mons liposuction leave scars?
Small incisions are required for mons pubis reduction surgery. After mons pubis liposuction recovery, the scars from these incisions typically fade very well. Some are located in the same location as tummy tuck surgery (tummy tuck lift) scars (at the bikini line near the pubic bone).
If you have more questions about mons pubis liposuction scars, be sure to ask your surgeon at your consultation appointment. We also suggest looking at liposuction on mons pubis before and after photos to see what scars may look like after healing. If you get this form of liposuction mons pubis before and after photos will clearly show that scars are very hard to see.
