Mons pubis reduction surgery, also known as monsplasty or mons lift, is an invasive medical procedure to remove the excess skin and fatty tissue from the fatty pad sitting on top of the pubic bone. This fatty pad is known as the mons pubis.
Sometimes the mons pubis can get bigger due to the accumulation of excess fat, or you may find you have a lot of loose skin covering the area. Mons surgery successfully removes any excess fat and skin, leaving behind a flatter, firmer mons pubis.
The form mons reduction can take varies according to the issue that is being treated. If excessive lax skin is the problem, then the surgeon will cut away this excess skin. If fat accumulation is the issue, then mons pubis liposuction will be carried out, followed by skin excision if required.
If you need liposuction as part of your mons pubis reduction, you won’t always need skin excision afterwards. If you have only been carrying this excess weight for a short period of time and you are young then the skin should have enough elasticity to return to its original shape. If you are having a lot of weight removed, or if you are older with reduced skin elasticity, then you will find that excess sagging skin will be left behind after your mons pubis liposuction.
It is common for mons surgery to be carried out at the same time as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). This is because a tummy tuck tightens the skin on the abdomen, therefore making a fatty mons pubis appear bulging and more noticeable.
