I am a mid 30s female who lost about 100 lbs. I have some saging and lose skin on my abdomen, thighs, breasts, and mons pubis. Most of this doesn’t bother me but the mons pubis does. Is there a way to get it tightened without surgery?
Answer: Mons lift Unfortunately to have something meaningful happen especially with the amount of weight loss you’ve had any of the non surgical options are unlikely to provide you with a results that is worth the several thousand dollars it costs. It is possible to do a mons lift without the tummy tuck, but if you ever consider the mons lift doing a tummy tuck as the same time will significantly improve all contours. I use Renuvion and Bodytite, but neither technology will lift you skin enough. Same if you go to a medspa please don’t have anyone convince you that microneedling will fix your problem. It will not.

Answer: Morpheus8 hi a procedure called Morpheus8 could potentially help you. Morpheus8 helps to dissolve fat and tighten the skin with radiofrequency and also helps skin texture. The procedure is done with adequate numbing cream and does not require anesthesia. Another option for comfort is the use of pronox (laughing gas) which some practices like our tend to use. Additionally, you could take tylenol prior to your procedure or talk to your provider about other methods of pain management that would work for you. The procedure takes about 30 minutes or so with a downtime of roughly 3 days. The downtime includes redness, irritation, and itching which can all be treated with a good gentle lotion. It is important to book your procedure in the winter/fall months as avoiding sun exposure is crucial to this procedure.

Answer: Weight loss Thank you for your inquiry! Any skin laxity or excess skin caused by weight loss would make you a great candidate for skin removal in order to tighten those areas. I recommend scheduling a consultation appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can assess those areas, listen to your goals, and create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Some patients go through the same thing after extreme weight loss.There are many procedures you could try. 1. Filler to fill up the lost volume of the mons pubis 2.
