I have a large pubic mound. How can I have it reduced?

Question

it sticks out when I'm wearing tight clothing etc... this was due to a large amount of weight loss, no matter how much I exercise it will not reduce in size... I am looking at having it surgically reduced in size, but would like to know if this is do-able and around how much it will cost?

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided
information as well.. This is the surgical
procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most
performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order
to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It
can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin,
abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small
incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied,
it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After
liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months
after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment
for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at
least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many
time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain.
Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an
accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also
really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery,
that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your
body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use
compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure
and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing
it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on
your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult
with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than
fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed
performing a thigh lift. Hugs!

The excess fat can be removed with liposuction. excess skin and fat can be removed by excision. Both can be done as an outpatient procedure, even in the office. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your options.

First some information:Mons Pubis is Latin for 'pubic mountain' and is therefore meant to project to some degree.If you feel yours is TOO projecting, it can be reduced with liposuction alone if your skin tone is good.If not a surgical procedure called Monsplasty can reduce the mound and tighten the skin.
