Mons pubis reduction and tummy tuck?

Question

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

A pubis lift should take care of your protruding mons pubis and consists in most cases of liposuction and removal of excess skin. Good candidates for tummy tucks are patients who are healthy but have EXCESS SKIN OR FAT that does not respond to diet and exercise, as in your case. Patients who have undergone SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS and have hanging skin. Women with loose skin and stretch marks FOLLOWING PREGNANCY. Anyone with LOSS OF SKIN ELASTICITY. Patients who are unable to tighten the abdominal wall with exercise. If you have loose or sagging abdominal wall skin; often associated with relaxation of the anterior abdominal wall muscles (frequently secondary to multiple pregnancies).Additional procedures that may enhance the result are Liposuction, Thigh Lift, or Pubis Lift which are commonly done at the same time and do not usually delay your recovery substantially in most cases. Variations of the standard abdominoplasty, including “mini-tucks” may be possible

Thanks for your question. Your concerns are understandable... You would not benefit greatly from liposuction alone. Only a full tummy tuck will be enough to give you the flat look you seek. Speak to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about your options.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

A full Tummy Tuck with liposuction will correct your problem.  You are an excellent candidate for the surgery.  Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an in person exam to discuss your goals.
