Excess fullness or sagging in the mons pubis (the area above the pubic bone) can cause discomfort, self-consciousness, or difficulty wearing certain clothing. Monsplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces and reshapes this area, creating a flatter, more contoured look.
At Advanced Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Munasifi and Dr. Economides, our board-certified plastic surgeons, specialize in monsplasty to help women achieve a smoother, firmer appearance and feel more confident in their bodies.
What is Monsplasty?
Monsplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin and fat in the mons pubis. This area can become enlarged or saggy due to:
- Weight gain or loss
- Aging
- Genetics
- Pregnancy and childbirth
This procedure slims and tightens the area, making it easier to wear fitted clothing and improving intimate confidence. It is often performed on its own or combined with tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or liposuction for a more comprehensive result.
Am I a Candidate for Monsplasty?
Monsplasty may be right for women who:
- Have excess fat or sagging skin in the mons pubis
- Experience discomfort or irritation due to fullness in this area
- Have difficulty wearing fitted pants, swimsuits, or lingerie
- Feel self-conscious about the appearance of the mons pubis
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
This procedure is popular among post-weight loss patients who have sagging skin in the lower abdominal region.
Why Choose Advanced Plastic Surgery Center?
Dr. Talal Munasifi and Dr. James Economides, our board-certified plastic surgeons, provide expert care to help patients achieve a smoother, more contoured pubic area. With years of experience in body contouring procedures, they use advanced techniques to remove excess skin and fat, enhancing both comfort and confidence.
Their personalized approach ensures natural-looking results that align with each patient’s goals.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
Monsplasty is an outpatient procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. The specific approach depends on whether the concern is excess fat, loose skin, or both.
The Procedure Includes:
- Liposuction (if necessary) to remove stubborn fat deposits
- Surgical skin removal to tighten and reshape the area
- Internal sutures to support a smooth, lifted appearance
- External stitches to close the incision, usually hidden in natural folds
The entire procedure typically takes 1-2 hours.
What Can I Expect from the Results of Monsplasty?
Patients notice an immediate improvement in the shape and contour of the mons pubis. Over the next few weeks, swelling will subside, revealing:
- A flatter, firmer pubic area
- Improved clothing fit and comfort
- Increased confidence in intimate settings
- A more youthful lower abdomen appearance
Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
What is the Recovery Time?
Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days. Recovery time varies, but general guidelines include:
- First 1-2 Weeks: Rest, light activity, and avoiding strenuous exercise
- 2-4 Weeks: Most swelling subsides, and normal activities can resume
- 4-6 Weeks: Final results become more noticeable
Patients should wear compression garments as recommended and follow all post-operative care instructions for the best results.
