Tags: mons pubis, protruding, results

I am scheduled for lipo of the mons pubis in August. Was originally going to both the lipo and labiaplasty but when I heard of the pain from recovery I decided with just the lipo. I am 23, 5'3', 115 lbs. Small frame and skinny all over. Mons pubis protrudes a bit and since I have a flat belly it seems more prominent. Labia minora protrudes a little more than it should but doesnt bother me a whole lot. Just wortried itll look weird if after my mons is flatter?

Mons pubis liposuction

Liposuction of the mons pubis is unlikely to make the labia minora appear more prominent. They are distinct anatomic regions.

Liposuction and labia size

If your mons is reduced in size it won't affect the prominence of your labia minora. However, you may notice the size of your labia minora more. In the same way that women who have a breast reduction sometimes feel that their tummy is more prominent. Btw, I think your labia minora look completely normal - so don't feel self-conscious about them. Good luck!

Mons Liposuctio and Labia Minora

Your liposuction should have no effect on your labia minora, there may be some initial swelling and bruising of the labia and clitoris following surgery but long-term there will be no effect. You can safely go ahead with your liposuction procedure. Good luck

No Mons lipo is a procedure with a very high satisfaction rate. There is no reason to fear l minora prominence as a result. You will have swelling there for a few weeks to months but not long term.

Liposuction of the mons pubis area

The way to understand it is that all properly done liposuction does is reduce or thin down the fat layer under the skin to the minimum for that area. If there is no excess fat then liposuction will not improve it and it is not possible to achieve whatever shape desired. Also, properly done liposuction should have no effect on the skin above or around the area which would include the labia minora. I would agree that sometimes a change in proportion of areas can make it look like something is... more

Relatively speaking...maybe

Hello, Lipo of the Mons will not directly affect the labia, but relatively speaking if you flatten one area the area next to it might seem somewhat larger by comparison. Best Regards, John Di Saia MD

Liposuction of the mons

Liposuction of the mons will in no way distort the labia. The fat in this area is of a different consistency and liposuction will thin it out.

Mons pubis liposuction

In my experience, if you decrease the size of the mons pubis, it may make the whole genitalia seem more prominent from the view above. Generally this has not been a major source of patient complaint.

Mons Liposuction will not improve Labia

No, liposuction of the mons will not alter the labia. However, you may feel better about your appearance after liposuction. If not, then you can consider labial reduction.

Effect of liposuction of mons pubis on the appearance of labia minora

The mons pubis (mons means "mound" in Latin, also known as "mons veneris", the "mound of Venus") is the normal bulge over the pubic bone. When the bulge is too large, liposuction is a great way to reduce it. However, the mons is normal anatomy. You might reduce it, but you should not eliminate it. If the liposuction is not excessive, it should not make the labia more prominent.
