20 months after my Tummy Tuck and I still have a pronounced mons pubis. Why has this happened and would lipo flatten this area?

Asked By:MsAubade in Australia, AU

I had a tummy tuck in dec 2012 but I still have a very pronounced mons pubis. Is it better to get liposuction to try and flatten this area and if so, would it make the skin in the area untoned? Alternately, is it better to have monsplasty?
