I lost a good amount of weight recently. My heaviest was 225 (while pregnant) and I'm 140 now, 5'5", 30yo, med-lrg body frame and had 2 c-sections (2014, 2016). I am still losing weight but have always had a fatty mons pubis (even when I was very thin). If I decide to get liposuction for the mons pubis what is an estimated cost? Will I have to have it again if I gain any weight (thyroid disease)? Will liposuction be enough for me?
Answer: Fullness and Laxity in the Mons Pubis and Lower Abdomen Thank you for your question. Your pictures seems to demonstrate that you have fullness and laxity in the mons region, as well as some mild fullness and laxity in the lower abdominal soft tissues as we You have several options, but your best options will include some type of skin excision, probably along with some liposuction. Liposuction alone will reduce the excess fat, but will likely leave you with loose tissue that may droop or sag even further. Although excising the excess loose tissue will leave a scar, you are somewhat used to that because you have had two cesarean sections. The scar will be longer, but the benefit is that you will have a much more even and smoother contour with tighter skin in this area. The cost of this procedure, will ultimately depend upon exactly what is done. A full-time tummy tuck is obviously more expensive than a mini tummy tuck. And, if liposuction is added to that procedure that will increase the cost further. Simple liposuction procedures that can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation will be cheaper than more involved procedures that involve general anesthesia. I would suggest that you do seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. You should be at a stable weight that is an appropriate baseline for you. Being able to maintain a stable weight after surgery, will allow you to maintain a good result. Best wishes.

Answer: Cost, recommendation, and maintenance for mons pubis fat removal? Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. As liposuction is an elective procedure, it usually won’t be covered by insurance and we understand that cost may be an issue. The cost of the procedure will vary depending on the area you plan to be treated as well as the amount of time it will take in the operative room. Once you complete your initial consultation with us, you’ll be given a final estimate.However, I think you would be a great candidate for Tummy Tuck. This will take care of any loose skin as well. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Answer: Abdominoplasty & Mons Pubis Reduction Hello. According to the photo you sent, it appears that you would benefit from an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) rather than just a pubis lift. It is very important to be at your ideal body weight before considering any surgeries as well as your weight being stable. The reason that I state you could benefit from a tummy tuck is because of the lose skin that appears on the photo. After having children most patients also have a muscle separation which can be repaired this is called rectus diastasis. Liposuction may also be performed at this time to help flatten the mons area on top of a small lift. I hope this helps & thank you for your question. Best of luck!

Answer: Mons Reduction Based on your pictures, you may need more than just liposuction of the mons area. It appears that the tissues are loose and sag a little bit as well. You may need to remove some excess skin in the lower abdomen region to help pull up and tighten the mons ( it has a tendency to fall with weight gain/ loss). The best thing to do is to go for a consultation or two and get an idea of what will work best. You are more than welcome to come for a consultation here as well. I hope this helps.
