I have always had a large mons pubis since teenage years (friends and family say its normal, but I see it as abnormally pudgy). Now that I am old enough and able to be confident about my decision, I would like to seriously consider opting to have it reduced. I was told even with losing weight, the mons pubis doesn't shrink. I am determined to lose weight and would love to reward myself this way. Currently I am 185 lbs., 23 and 5' 7". What surgery/procedure would be best - what is recommended?
Answer: Thick and saggy mons pubic You have two conditions and definitely related to genetics and overweight is aggravating the problem: thick or fatty pubic area and saggy mons. Liposuction will help a lot on reducing the volume, but if the mons pubic is saggy on certain degree it will be looking saggier. So the perfect procedure will be liposuction and a lift, and this last procedure is done using a short incision above the area like a C section incision. Be encouraged. You will be loving to wear tight jeans, skirts or dresses without feeling ashamed. Dr. Cardenas

Answer: Mons Pubis Reduction Hi, thank you for your question. You are correct, even with weight loss you may still require reduction of the mons area. Many patients require both liposuction and a mons pubis lift for the best result. The combination approach reduces the volume in the area and also tightens the skin.

Answer: Pubic lift for puff mons pubis Your appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck with pubic lift. The public lift will remove the excess fat in your mons and tighten the skin. Liposuction of the mons, on the other hand, would usually create a deflated appearance that bothers most patients. A pubic lift is the way to go. Please see the before and after pictures in the link below. Good luck.

Answer: Large Mons Pubis, What Procedure? 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. If there is excess skin or thin skin with stretch marks then skin excision procedures are typically needed. A mons lift it is commonly combined with an abdominoplasty procedure, but can be done by itself. 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.

Answer: Mons reduction Thank you for your question and your photos. There is indeed some variation in where people carry their excess fat. In your case, it may be true that losing weight may still leave you with an unfavorable contour to the mons area. You may benefit from liposuction to the mons to improve the contour, or from direct excision of fat from the area (especially if performed at the same time as a tummy tuck). Either method, in the experienced hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon, should provide a nice improvement to this area.
