home â– Intimate Wellness â– Monsplasty
In the realm of body positivity and self-love, conversations are expanding to include areas of the body that were once considered taboo or overlooked. One such area is the mons pubis, the fatty tissue located above the pubic bone. The mons pubis plays a significant role in a person’s body image and self-confidence.
Monsplasty, also known as a mons pubis reduction or pubic lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the size and enhancing the appearance of the mons pubis. It involves removing excess fat and skin from the area, resulting in a smoother, more contoured look. While the mons pubis naturally varies in size and shape among individuals, factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, pregnancy, and genetics can contribute to changes in its appearance over time.
Monsplasty is typically sought after by individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of their mons pubis due to factors such as excess fat deposits, sagging skin, or asymmetry.
1. Excessive Protrusion: Addressing discomfort and self-consciousness caused by a prominent mons pubis, especially in tight clothing or swimwear.
2. Aesthetic Goals: Achieving desired results not possible through diet and exercise alone.
3. Post-Weight Loss or Childbirth: Improving the appearance of the mons pubis following significant body changes.
4. Youthful Contour: Restoring a toned and youthful look to the genital area.
Ideal candidates for monsplasty should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand the potential risks and benefits associated with the surgery. Most common side effects following surgery include bleeding, bruising, and swelling. We recommend that patients lounge as much as possible during the first one to two weeks following surgery and ice the treated area frequently to help reduce swelling.
Monsplasty is an in-office procedure that is performed with local anesthesia and by-mouth relaxing medications. This procedure is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient. The surgical approach may involve liposuction to remove excess fat, excision of redundant skin/tissue, Bodytite, a device that uses radiofrequency heat to tighten the tissues, or a combination of all three techniques. Surgically lifting the skin of the mons will result in a scar similar to that of a C-section. Many patients combine monsplasty with a labiaplasty which treats elongated, enlarged, or asymmetric labia minora.
For many individuals, monsplasty can have a transformative impact on their self-confidence and quality of life. By addressing concerns related to the appearance of the mons pubis, patients often report feeling more comfortable and confident in their bodies, both in and out of clothing. Additionally, some patients may experience functional improvements, such as reduced friction or discomfort during physical activities.
In a society that often places unrealistic standards on physical appearance, embracing one’s body in all its forms is an act of self-love and acceptance. Monsplasty offers individuals the opportunity to address concerns related to the appearance and function of the mons pubis, empowering them to feel more confident and comfortable in their skin. By understanding the procedure, its benefits, and its considerations, individuals can make informed decisions about whether monsplasty is the right choice for them. Ultimately, the goal of monsplasty, like any cosmetic procedure, is not to achieve perfection but to enhance one’s natural beauty and promote self-confidence from the inside out.
The treated area will feel tight, but it shouldn’t feel painful. We tell patients to take Tylenol for any discomfort. There will be some swelling which can be mitigated with ice.
Risks of this procedure include bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, and changes in sensation. There may be some slight drainage from the incision sites for a few days following surgery.
Monsplasty is a cosmetic procedure, and these are not typically covered by insurance. Our office also does not accept any insurance plans. We do offer multiple financing options for our patients that have varying payment plans to fit your individual financial needs.
Most patients return to one week following surgery.
Patients can return to their regular exercise routines 4-6 weeks following this procedure.
Good candidates for this procedure are women in good health who are unhappy with their upper pubic area due to sagging skin, age or pregnancy related changes, or a bulging pubic area that shows through clothes and bathing suits.
