Teenager with Enlarged Mons Pubis: Normal, Cost of Surgery?

Thank you for your question.  First, yes this decidedly a normal variant of anatomy.  Everyone distributes fat differently, and the mons pubis is certainly a common location for a little bit of excess.  At age 16, seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in the company of a parent would potentially be a viable option.  Liposuction to the mons can be highly effective in reducing and smoothing the area, with  likely no time off schoold or work, and a recovery that is quite easy.

Insurance does not cover cosmetic labiaplasty, and even with functional problems it is difficult at best to get coverage. Candidates for a Labiaplasty procedure are women who are concerned about the appearance of their labia or experience discomfort due to exceptionally large or long labia of either the inner our outer lips. Labia unevenness can result in discomfort with intimate contact, chronic rubbing, as well as psychological discomfort, which leads to the inability to wear certain types of tight clothing. Most women live with these symptoms, and actually are not even aware that a certain surgical procedure exists to help to correct this problem and restore their femininity.#labiaplasty#labialreduction#vaginoplasty

Fat accumulation in the pubic
region is a normal finding in some women and can definitely be helped with
liposuction.Liposuction costs vary and
are dependent upon multiple factors.These include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia charges,
location of the liposuction procedure and type of liposuction performed.The approach to liposuction varies from
physician to physician.Some surgeons
use general anesthesia, some use a hospital, and some use techniques that
involve expensive technology.Each of
these variables can affect the cost of liposuction.In
the Midwestern United States, where I practice, liposuction fees range from
$2700 to $3600 per anatomic area.This
would typically include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia charges and
after care.Cost
is obviously important, but it’s important to be comfortable with the surgeon’s
qualifications and experience.Make sure
you get all your questions answered and are comfortable with your surgeon
before proceeding.
