Although mons reduction is a safe and low-risk surgery, there are risks associated with liposuction carried out on any area of the body. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, inflammation and fluid coming from incisions. Very rarely, liposuction can cause; lumpy or uneven results, bleeding under the skin, persistent numbness that can last for months, changes in skin colour, build-up of fluid in the lungs, a blood clot in the lungs or damage to the internal organs.
Any type of operation also carries a risk of excessive bleeding, developing a blood clot in a vein,
infection or an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic. However the risk of any of these happening during your treatment is small.
