Monsplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the mons, which is where the lower abdomen meets the upper part of the vulva in the pubic area. Some women struggle with excess fatty tissue and extra skin on the mons due to massive weight loss, weight gain, or simple genetics, and reducing any excess bulge in this area can eliminate discomfort and embarrassment.

Is a Monsplasty Right For Me?

Choosing to undergo monsplasty is a personal decision and Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rednam can help you understand what this outpatient procedure involves and make sure you have realistic expectations. This plastic surgery contouring procedure may be right for you if you’re looking to reduce excess skin and fat in the mons for cosmetic reasons, to reduce discomfort, or to improve self-esteem.

The Procedure

Depending on your unique anatomy and how much tissue needs to be removed, monsplasty can be performed under sedation with local anesthesia or under general anesthesia. The procedure itself is straightforward and typically involves excising any extra skin and fat through a horizontal incision that runs across the mons pubis. Once all the extra tissue has been excised, she’ll place internal sutures to further shape and tighten your remaining tissues and muscles for a tighter and more contoured appearance. For patients with minimal extra tissue, liposuction may be sufficient.

Results & Recovery

Following monsplasty, you can expect to return home on the same day of surgery. Recovery time takes roughly one week, with any strenuous physical activity restricted for anywhere from 2-4 weeks, depending on how extensive the procedure was.

Monsplasty results in a mons with a lower profile that projects, or shows, less when wearing clothing. For patients with a large amount of excess skin, monsplasty can correct the appearance of loose or hanging skin.
