Large Pubic Mound or Labia Causing Permanent Camel Toe?

I'm not being obscene, but I have a camel toe. Is this an issue of a large pubic mound, labia or something else? It doesn't matter what pants I wear, I always have what is called a camel toe. I have a large pubic mound but I'm not sure if there is another issue that could be causing this. I have lost 90 lbs but the mound and camel toe haven't improved. I am 30 and haven't had kids so I don't want a tummy tuck.

Camel Toe?

Your "camel toe" is most likley caused by full labia majora. Fat typically collects in the labia majora and the mons pubis. We can frequently perform liposuction of the mons pubis and direct excision of the fat in the labia majora to correct this problem.

Reducing and lifting a full mons pubis (pubic mound) and camel toe after weight loss.

The pubic mound that persists after major weight loss appears to be attributable to both fat and excess skin. Depending on the distribution of the fat and the skin, treatment can require liposuction with or without direct removal of skin and/or fat. Some refer to this as a pubic lift or reduction. Seek evaluation by a physcian experienced with these techniques. The camel toe may indicate a need for a labia majora reduction.

Pubic mound an camel toe

A large pubic mound is often associated with large outer lips of the labia majora (outer lips). If the pubic area is just fat and not excess skin, then liposuction works well for that. If you have excess pubic skin, then a pubic lift may be needed. The camel toe is probably due to large labia majora, which can be reduced by excision of skin and fat. These procedures are highly successful if done by a very experience surgeon.

The concern that you are referring to is related to large labia majora.

This can easily be addressed by a combination of liposuction and excision of the labia majora. This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and the healing time is two weeks.

Camel Toe

Your “camel toe” could actually be caused by either your pubic mound or a larger labia majora, or a combination of both issues. Liposuction performed on the pubic mound may resolve the problem without requiring a labiaplasty procedure. Some doctors refer to this procedure as a pubic reduction. A reduction of the labia majora may still be necessary if the prominence is still visible.
