I Have a Fatty Mons Pubis and I'm Considering Lipo. Are There Sexual Complications to a Procedure Like This?

Question

I am so ashamed of the fat I have on my mons pubis. It hinders me from so many things in life. I always had a larger area of fat in that region, but I noticed a real difference after some weight loss/gain. I am about 40 pounds overweight right now. I'm dieting and exercising but I can't seem to lose in that area. I wanted to know what may be the best procedure for me. I actually have pretty good skin tone, and it's definite fatty tissue, not bone. Also, can this procedure decrease sensation?

David Stoker, MD · Answer

Treatment for a fatty mons pubis may include liposuction or a pubic lift.  Patients really appreciate the benefits of those procedures.  Complications are not common, but might include bleeding, infection or seromas.

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A large mons is caused by a pad of fat that is located on the lowest part of the abdomen. Nonsurgical treatment includes weight loss using diet and exercise, but this doesn't always work. If the overlying skin is thick and elastic, then liposuction can be a good treatment option. I'm not aware of any sexual complications caused by liposuction of the pubic area. The price for these procedures varies between doctors and regions of the country. Consider several consultations to find the surgeon that's right for you.

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

Liposuction of the Mons Pubis area is a common procedure performed by itself or as part of another procedure such as abdominoplasty / tummy tuck or abdominal liposuction.  You will likely have temporary swelling, but no side effects which you mention.

Liposuction for a fatty Mons Pubis would be a perfect solution to get rid of unwanted fat.   This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with little or no down time.  There are no serious risks involved, except for maybe some swelling and soreness.  Your sexual capabilities will not be affected as a result of the surgery.  I would try to get to your target weight before the procedure.  Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.
