Monsplasty (Pubic Lift) Surgery

If you feel that you can’t enjoy sitting by the pool or wearing active wear when you work out or go shopping, it’s time to take advantage of advanced cosmetic procedures, such as fat upper pubic area (FUPA) surgery. Factors that make you a good candidate for a monsplasty include:

• Excess tissue or skin hanging from your upper pubic area
• Difficulties washing your genitals because of the loose skin
• Problems like rashes or infections caused by an inability to clean your mons pubis
• Difficulties when urinating
• Embarrassment when wearing a bathing suit or tight pants
• Poor sex experience, caused by your large mons pubis
• Poor body image, leading to low self-esteem
• Having realistic expectations

A mons pubis reduction procedure may be ideal if you’re in good overall health. Medical conditions — such as heart disease, diabetes or lung disease — may disqualify you as a candidate. If you smoke, your doctor advises you to quit for at least four weeks to reduce complications and promote faster healing.

Your surgeon may suggest a monsplasty as a standalone procedure or use it to complement a mommy makeover surgery or abdominal lift. An outpatient surgery, its main steps include:

1. Sedation. To prevent pain, you’re sedated with an intravenous medication. You may also need a local anesthetic in your mons pubis to reduce discomfort.
2. Incision. Your cosmetic surgeon marks the incision area on your lower abdomen along the bikini line.
3. Fat removal. Using FUPA lipoplasty, your liposuction plastic surgeon removes the excess fat from your entire upper pelvic region. Loose skin tissues are removed with specialized scalpels.
4. Muscle tightening. For the best results, the doctor pulls any loose muscles and tissues together, using sutures to keep them tight. The result is a flat, well-sculpted mons pubis.
5. Closing. Your doctor inserts a drain pipe to remove any excess fluid and closes the incision. A dressing over the incision prevents infection and helps your recovery process.

Dr. Shokrian is renowned for his friendly attitude and listening skills. His patient-centered approach to treatments have made this a trusted practice for a wide range of plastic surgery procedures.

After surgery, the medical team takes care of you as the sedative wears off. The procedure normally doesn’t require a hospital stay, but you need someone to drive you home. Once you’re home, aftercare expectations include:

• Some mild bruising and swelling after surgery, which subsides in two to three weeks
• A compression bandage to wear over the treatment area for several weeks
• Prescribed pain medication to ease the temporary pain and discomfort
• Slowly ramping up activities, starting with paces around the house a few days after the surgery
• No heavy lifting or strenuous work for several weeks
• A return to work and regular exercise after four to six weeks
• Some results immediately after surgery, but the whole impact takes about six weeks
