I believe this is a very challenging area to reduce swelling because I sit all day at work. Its only been a week since my surgery and i do understand that swelling will eventually go down in weeks to months, but i have not yet seen any improvement. The swelling in the area is very hard to the touch and skin is not pliable. I have worn a bodysuit 24 hours a day. I am extremely worried that this could be a long term problem. What is your experience for patients on this area week by week?
Answer: Swelling after Liposuction.
Thank you for the question.
The mons pubis, like every other area treated with liposuction surgery may remain swollen for many months after the procedure. The firmness your feeling of the area suggests fluid in the soft tissues that requires time to dissipate. I tell patients it may take 6 months to a year for skin to redrape completely.
I hope this helps.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Lipo of Mons Pubis and How to Reduce Swelling/Edema of This Particular Area? Thank you for your question. A large mons is caused by a pad of fat that is located on the lowest part of the abdomen. Nonsurgical treatment includes weight loss using diet and exercise, but this doesn't always work. If the overlying skin is thick and elastic, then liposuction can be a good treatment option. If there is excess skin or thin skin with stretch marks then skin excision procedures are typically needed. A mons lift it is commonly combined with an abdominoplasty procedure, but can be done by itself. The price for these procedures varies between doctors and regions of the country. Consider several consultations to find the surgeon that's right for you.

Answer: Persistently swollen mons pubis after surgery
One of the best methods of minimizing swelling is by applying compression. This is very difficult in the pubic area compounded by the fact that it is the most dependent (lowest) portion of the belly making it the preferred drainage site for abdominal fluid collections.

Answer: Liposuction Swelling
Liposuction of the mons is a very effective procedure. The area undergoes the usual swelling and bruising but over the course of 8 weeks or so this fullness will subside with an improved contour. Enjoy your journey.

Answer: Firmness and swelling from liposuction in the suprapubic area
Swelling may be prolonged in the lower abdomen, suprapubic area. It may feel quite hard. Warm compresses may help provided your surgeon agrees for you to do them. Your surgeon can see you and reassure you that there is no collection of blood underneath (hematoma).
