What can I do about a large/fat mons pubis? (photos)

Your issue is quite common and I have treated several patients for this with liposuction. This can be safely done without general anesthesia and little discomfort. I prefer to use Tickle Liposuction than traditional, laser assisted or any means of melting or freezing fat. My patients experience a lot less discomfort and have little to no real down time. It is a surgery, but very gentle and very rewarding.I recommend you see a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for a consultation. I appreciate that you're dealing with humiliation and am confident that liposuction will make a great improvement for you.Good luck!

sometimes liposuction alone helps but often the skin needs to be removed. I suggest speaking to an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello SamanthaW1300 - Thanks for your question. Yes, you can have liposuction to the area to reduce the fat, but if you have any loose skin afterwards, you would need a mons lift to tighten it. After you lose the 10lbs. you need to improve your overall health, I would recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to address this concern. Costs will vary by area of the country and by individual surgeon.  There is no set cost for liposuction.  An isolated fatty mons is an unusual situation, so a CT scan of the area prior to surgery may be warranted. Good luck, Dr. Shah

Greetings,Liposuction can remove a substantial amount of fat and can dramatically improve a person's shape and silhouette, especially in the stomach area. Lipo is great for targeted permanent fat removal but not as good for skin envelope reshaping. Some patients have excellent skin tone with minimal laxity and aren’t likely to have difficulty with skin sag. 

It’s not only important to understand your potential for skin sag, but your esthetic ambition as well. It’s important to know whether you want to look good in a swimsuit or look good in clothing.Based on these considerations, liposuction may still be a good choice for some patients. They must accept their potential to develop skin sag. They must also understand that if skin sag develops following liposuction, an abdominoplasty will be considered to correct this problem. Facing objectively the realities of this situation, many patients will elect to proceed directly with abdominoplasty.Have a great day,

It can be difficult when a part of the body is out of proportion with its overall shape. An oversized mons pubis can certainly cause self-consciousness or embarrassment. By removing the excess fat that has gathered there, liposuction in this area can reduce the size of your mons pubis. The cost of a liposuction procedure can vary according to region and practitioner, and may run several thousand dollars. In terms of the cause for your mons pubis, I wouldn’t worry that there’s an underlying medical issue to blame. It’s likely thanks to genetics that your body distributes and stores fat here.
