Large Mons Pubis After Tummy Tuck?

Your mons pubis is very likely swollen after surgery.  Please don't be too concerned about this as this will likely improve.  If it doesn't it is a very simple procedure to take out a little bit of fat in this area with liposuction.  I am sure your surgeon will want to make you happy and i'm sure he or she can offer a small revision like this to improve your result, if needed.  You will need to wait until the swelling resolves before your surgeon can decide if this is necessary.

Thank you for your question and please try not to worry.

I'm sorry to hear about the distress you are experiencing after tummy tuck surgery. Given that you are only a few weeks out of the procedure, it is much too early to evaluate the end results of the procedure.

 Generally speaking, for many patients undergoing tummy tuck surgery the pubic area may be an area of concern. This area may be large ( prominent) , ptotic (low), or deflated.  Therefore, I think it is important to address the pubic area when performing the tummy tuck surgery.

When planning the tummy tuck incision it is possible to keep the incision  low enough that it serves to “raise” the pubic area to some degree.  I like to plan this incision when patients are wearing the “cut” of swimming suit that they plan to wear after the surgery.

During the  tummy talk procedure the pubic area may then be “lifted” and/or defatted ( either directly or with liposuction) as  the specific patient's needs indicate.  Care is taken to avoid over thinning  the area since some coverage of the pubic area is important (for example for padding during intercourse).

 At this point, I would suggest continued patience and continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon.

 Best wishes; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed. Otherwise, you should have peace of mind that relatively minor surgery may improve your situation.
