Lipo on Mons Pubis? (Photo)

Hi Top67,Thanks for the question and the photographs. They certainly help with your question. It would be possible to remove the majority of the fat in that area, but remember that some fat must be left behind for contouring and to allow the tissue(skin) to glide on the muscle/bone in that region. I think however, that it would give you a result that you would be unhappy with as it would result in excess skin despite that the fat would be gone. It would however increase the show of the remaining body parts which could be considered a bonus. A surgery to remove the extra skin could be done alone or in conjunction with an abdominalplasty or alone. Cost would certainly vary. I know that the cost would go up if you decided to do a removal of the skin with the liposuction of the mons area. It usually runs about 2-5k for lipo and a monsplasty plus anesthesia and facility fees here in the phoenix area. Remember that it should be about your expectations and not cost. Pick a surgeon who you feel comfortable with and that seems fair in what they are promising and cost. Good luck.Sincerely,Carlos Mata M.D., M.B.A., FACS

Liposuction of the Mons pubis can be performed with local anesthesia or general anesthesia your preference. Expect to pay $1000-$1500.

Thank you for the photos. Based on the amount of skin over the mons pubis, I do not think that liposuction alone will flatten the area. A combination of lift with liposuction or direct fat removal would likely be more effective. The mons lift removes the excess skin and tightens the area. This could be combined with a tummy tuck to remove the loose skin from the lower abdomen too.A word of caution. If the fullness is due to lymphedema, rather than fat, you will be more likely to have return of the fullness in the area regardless of the procedure used. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for an examination and to review all of your options.

This area can be treated with VASER liposuction but based on your pictures you also need the area to have skin removal for an optimal outcome.  Please see an expert who does both these procedures together like I do in my practice.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello,You are not a candidate for liposuction alone, as you will need skin excision to achieve suitable contours. Go on a few consults with surgeons certified by the ABPS and members of the ASAPS.Best of luck!

It is done routinely in my practice and the cost is $1500.   Best is to come for a complementary consultation.  Thanks

Looking at your photos, you do seem to have a fair bit of excess skin as well as subcutaneous fat in your abdomen and mons areas. Liposuction on its own will reduce the bulk, but it will leave you with loose hanging skin. You do need to consider having liposuction combined with a mons lift. On the other hand, even if the appearance of your mons in improved, you have a fair amount of excess tummy skin and with time the mons will drop down as the excess skin and tissue from your tummy will drop down. What you really need is a liposuction of your abdomen and mons area, followed by a tummy tuck which would also result in a mons lift.

You are definitely a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure during which your mons area would be lifted and tightened.  If you prefer to focus on the mons area alone and you don't want to undergo a tummy tuck procedure then you could have a pubic mons lift procedure.  This is a far simpler procedure with a shorter scar.  A large piece of your pubic mons skin and fat is removed and then lifted very tightly.  The scar would end up in the crease you already have across your belt line.  Your tummy would look the same but the lower mons area would be much flatter and tighter.  Liposuction alone without any skin excision would not provide you a worthwhile result.I hope this information helps!Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

Liposuction of the mons is a relatively common procedure and most usually is combined with an abdominoplasty or a circumferential lift. Normally we don't like to quote price is however an isolated moms like a suction would most likely run anywhere between four and $6000 in our area. I hope that answers your questions and good luck with everything. 

Thank you for your question. Based on the photos provided, it appears you are an excellent candidate for a full tummy tuck. The lower abdominal skin excision and muscle tightening will give you an excellent contour as well as improve the tone of the anterior abdominal wall.  The mons is typically lifted, and in your case shortened, as part of the tummy tuck surgery.Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and to discuss the specific details of the procedure. Ask to see before and after tummy tuck photos to get an idea of what can be achieved. Hope this helps.
