Mons pubis reduction and tummy tuck?

Lilyput2015Jun 25, 2015
I have a very big (and embarrassing) fatty mons pubis as well as an overhanging belly. My question is, is it possible to get this flat? Or at least normal-looking without the bulge coming through my pants? What surgery would I need to get to have it as flat as possible and to lose the belly overhang? I would only really want liposuction if the results were dramatic enough to make me look normal, would that happen? The skin is not loose from weight loss, I have always had this. Thanks in advance

That's quite a pleasant surprise! Your tummy tuck should pose no threat to you or your baby, and it's not likely to interfere with your pregnancy in any way.
