Mons lift after weight loss?

Thanks for your inquiry! Congratulations on your weight loss! Seeing you in person would allow us to better help you reach your goal by seeing the area of concerns. Depending on the amount of weight loss and skin laxity determines what procedure is needed. A tummy tuck would address liposuction to the abdomen, muscle repair, removal of excess skin and a mons lift. Schedule a consult with a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Hello, of course, yes, after losing a lot of weight there is excess skin throughout the lower part of the body including the mons pubis, when a tummy tuck is done properly you must do the lift of the mons pubis as well and it is a very nice result

Hello PRM1,

Your question regarding the best approach for addressing a sagging or hanging mons (pubic region) after significant weight loss is quite pertinent. Both a 360 body lift and a traditional abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) are effective procedures that can be utilized to address concerns in the pubic area.

When undergoing a 360 body lift, the procedure involves circumferential removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks. This comprehensive approach also addresses the mons region, as the lifting and tightening effects naturally extend to this area. The aim is to create a harmonious, smoother contour from the abdomen through to the lower regions, including the mons.

Similarly, a tummy tuck focuses on the abdominal area but can also be tailored to include a mons lift. In cases where there is significant sagging or protrusion of the mons, specific surgical techniques can be incorporated into the tummy tuck to lift and reshape this area. This often involves removing excess skin and fat, and sometimes liposuction can be used to reduce volume and improve contour.

It's important to discuss your specific goals and concerns with your plastic surgeon. They can tailor the surgical plan to address the mons area effectively, whether as part of a 360 body lift or a tummy tuck. The key is to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result that aligns with your overall body contouring goals.

Long story short, both a 360 body lift and a tummy tuck can effectively address issues in the mons region following significant weight loss. Your plastic surgeon will guide you in choosing the most suitable procedure based on your individual case and aesthetic objectives.

This is a great question! I do monsplasty as part of all my abdominoplasty surgeries- I do lipo over the area if needed, and make the abdominoplasty incision lower so that the mons is lifted.

But... not all surgeons do this. And if you have surgery with someone who isn't "mons aware" it could result in this area looking puffy below your newly flat tummy. I definitely recommend bringing this up at your consultation!

Unfortunately, these won't help. Monsplasty operation is required. Beauty always comes from within you
Thank you

With a tummy tuck I usually always lipo the mons. During this procedure you get a big lift in this area as well. So this combination will resolve this puffy mons area.

Both TT and circumferential body lift, if properly performed should address moms pubis area properly. This is an issue to discuss with your surgeon before you commit yourself to specific procedure. Good luck.

A large sagging mons pubis needs to be lifted with a monsplasty. A tummy tuck will provide enough lift. Sometimes these procedures can be done together. Other times, it's better to do them separately. Determining the best option requires an examination in person or at the very least, evaluation of your photos.

A mons lift can be incorporated into your circumferential tummy tuck. Liposuction of the area can also be done if needed. Be sure to speak to your board certified plastic surgeon about your concerns to ensure it is included as part of your surgery.
