Which procedure would be best for minimizing the appearance of a bulgy mons pubis area? (photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! Photos make it difficult to see the full area of concern. Liposuction of the area can help reduce the fullness, but depending on the laxity of the skin, it can also cause the skin to hang. A tummy tuck, which includes muscle tightening and liposuction of the abdomen and also a monsplasty will help flatten the area. It would be great to help your reach your goals. Schedule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

If your only goal is to tighten your mons pubis, liposuction and a monsplasty also called a mons pubis lift can help you achieve your goal.

You have a fat deposit with excess skin so liposuction alone will not be satisfactory,. You need a pubic lift with fat removal and stabilization of the pubic skin to the abdominal muscles. The incision is usually like a caesarean incision. The potential complications are over-lifting the pubic area, concavities, and unnatural scars, so be careful of your choice of surgeon,

​Without examining you it is difficult to be certain but based on the photos it looks like you would benefit from a monsplasty combined with liposuction to the mons. The liposuction will remove the excess fat to reduce the bulging and the monsplasty will lift it and remove the excess skin. I’d suggest having a consultation with a local plastic surgeon to be examined and get a more specific description of what needs to be done specifically for you. Best of luck!

Dear patient, you can lipo-suction the area to decrease the bulge,
In case of skin redundancy, you might need to do a form of abdominal plasty to get rid of excess skin.
good luck and best of health.

Your photo shows fullness, looseness (laxity), and sagging of the mons pubis. If all you want is to tighten the mons pubis, a monsplasty (mons pubis lift) combined with liposuction will correct your issue. However, if you want to tighten up the abdomen at the same time, an abdominoplasty would be the solution. Either way, you will achieve flatness and tightness. Feel free to schedule a virtual consultation.

Based on this limited photo it appears that combination of aggressive liposuction and excision (abdominoplasty) would be good solution for your problem. Only on the basis of in parson consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon you may expect a more detailed answer. Good luck.

To best address your concerns an examination in person would be required. There are several options but almost certainly surgery would be required. Please consult with an expert board certified plastic surgeon with whom you feel you have made a good connection and whose results and reviews resonate with you. Best of luck to you.

Based on your concerns and submitted photo liposuction alone may not be enough as you would likely be left with too much skin laxity. For you a combination of skin removal as well as liposuction should give you an improved, flatter mons area.

There are 2 common causes of too much fullness of the mons pubis. 1) too much fat with tight skin. This is easily corrected with a very minor liposuction procedure. 2) the more common reason I see is loose drooping skin. This happens most commonly after weight loss or after pregnancy! If you pull up on your lower abdomen just above your pubic region and your mons looks good, then the reason is not too much fat, its due to loose, droopy skin. In this case, the best thing is a Monsplasty which is skin tightening
