Large Mons Pubis, What Procedure? (Photo)

J
jenny_pMay 20, 2014

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?

Fibrosis on stomach from previous bad Liposuction, will lipo injections help?

Unfortunately if you have areas of fibrosis beneath the skin of your abdomen for Michael section there's little to do but give it time. It may take 6 to 12 months for this to soften. Sometimes steroids can be judiciously used to soften the areas. I would seek several consultations before...

It sounds as though you might benefit from a second abdominoplasty possibly of the extended nature. Posting a picture and a little more information about the types of liposuction would be useful.

I would suggest scheduling another appointment with your plastic surgeon.  Maybe you lost a lot of weight and might be a candidate for a thigh lift.  It is difficult to suggest anything further without photos or a consultation but best of luck!

Infection after liposuction is decidedly rare. Nevertheless it is possible in night sweats could be an indication of an early infection. This should be reported to your plastic surgeon.
