Liposuction of the mons will result in some temporary numbness, but it should resolve. There should be no effect on sexual function.

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Liposuction of the mons pubis area is quite safe to do. Other than some temporary numbness in the skin of that area, and some temporary swelling, it would be extremely unlikely to cause any sexual side effects, as far as I know.

If you are referring to liposuction of the mons, this does not involve contact with the clitoris or the vagina. There should be no problems with sexual function after liposuction of the mons. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

From time to time patients complain about too much volume in the Mons region. This is easily treated with liposuction and has no functional consequences.

Adam David Lowenstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Reduction of fat in the mons area can be associated with swelling and numbness in that area above the vaginal region, and occasionally some transient swelling of the labia. Long term there should not be any effect on sexual function if liposuction is done properly.
