Im about 5'3 and weigh around 145 lbs. I've always had a very large mons pubis but i've been losing weight and it looks even bigger. its all fat down there. Im incredibly self conscious about this, I cant wear tight dresses and when i go to the beach im embarrassed to go without shorts because my mons pubis is so fat. I desperately need to know what surgery can help this, will the area be completely flat after surgery? and the average cost? please help!

Mons Pubis Surgery?

Thank you for the question. It is not unusual for the pubic area to be an area of concern. This area may be large ( prominent) , ptotic (low), or deflated. How to best address your specific concerns will depend on physical examination. Generally, treatment will involve excision of excess/ ptopic skin plus or minus liposuctioning. I would suggest in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes. see video

Reduction of the mons pubis

The mons pubis can be surgically reduced at the time of tummy tuck or directly as a separate procedure. See two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Cosmetic surgery of the mons pubis

Depending on the situation, cosmetic improvement of the mons pubis can involve direct excision, lifting and contouring with liposuction or direct excision of fat or a combination. In order to determine what would be best for you, seek out a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Prominent Mons Pubis

I find the best way to correct a prominent mons pubis is through a combination of liposuction and surgical excision with lifting.

Options for a Large Mons Pubis

Liposuction is a common way of reducing a mons if the skin is not too lax. An excision can be done also. See a Board Certified plastic surgeon to get more details.

Coincidence!!!! I just operated on a woman with the same issue (it showed thru her clothing), although she had undergone a Tummy Tuck years ago by a different surgeon. Liposuction is probably all that you will need, although on some occasions a lift of the skin down there is done as well. That will be up to you and your doctor as to the best approach but it does work.

Reduction for a large mons pubis

Reduction of the mons area is fairly common and we accomplish this often with ultrasonic liposuction. The issue can be one of weight, though just as often it is about genetics and inherited body shape. You can determine the amount of fat by feeling over the pubic bone and get an idea of how flat you might be. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Mons Pubis

The options for treatment include liposuction for just excess fatty tissue and/or excision of skin and fat if you have sagging of the mons since this will not be corrected with liposuction alone.

You are not alone. Many patients come in seeking treatment for the mons pubis. Treatment is usually straightforward with liposuction. If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific recommendations. Good Luck.

Improving the Mons pubis is straightforward

The mon pubis or the area of pubic hair growth in front of the pubic bone is a common area to look out of proportion in men and women who have been overweight. The solutions are varied depending on the needs and goals of each patient. For many patients the subcutaneous fat layer in this location resists changes to diet and exercise. This region can also stretch and droop down which also contributes to unwanted bulging. Finally, the contours of this area are also exageratted after... more
