As we age or as a result of childbirth, pockets of stubborn fat in the pubic region can create a large bulge called the mons pubis. At Me Clinic, we offer mons pubis liposuction which targets the layer of fatty tissue above the pubic bone. Results may vary depending on individual circumstances.
In some cases, mons pubis liposuction may be combined with a pubic lift and abdominoplasty procedure. This decision should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional. Mons pubis liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure, as it requires only a minimal incision to remove unwanted excess fat from the area.
Surgical Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Mons pubis liposuction procedure process
This surgical procedure involves twilight sedation or general anaesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions through which a thin cannula will be used to remove the unwanted fatty tissue.
The recovery period for a mons pubis reduction varies depending on individual circumstances. It’s important to discuss recovery expectations with a healthcare professional. Even though recovery time is reasonably quick, you may experience some swelling and bruising or a slight discolouration of the region and its surrounds as side effects. In most cases, you will see a return to normal appearance within two to six weeks.

When will I be able to resume sexual intimacy or strenuous exercise?
Everyone heals and recovers at different speeds. However, we recommend waiting around four weeks following this procedure before a return to sexual intimacy or high-impact aerobic activity.
Will the mons pubis reduction experience be very painful?
As the mons pubis reduction is performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthesia the procedure itself is relatively comfortable. You will, however, likely experience mild-to-moderate bruising post-procedure. But many patients state that this level of discomfort is very tolerable. You should be able to return to activities of normal living quite comfortably and quickly.
What’s the difference between labiaplasty, monsplasty and mons pubis reduction surgery?
Mons pubis reduction is also known as monsplasty, which is cosmetic surgery that uses liposuction to remove the fatty tissue and excess skin above the pubic bone. The fatty pad above the pubic bone is known as the mons pubis. Some patients combine mons pubis liposuction with a pubic lift and abdominoplasty procedure (tummy tuck) to improve the aesthetics of their pubic bone region. Mons pubis liposuction is a different surgical procedure to labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is cosmetic surgery which increases or decreases the size of the labia minora (the smaller, inner vaginal lips) or labia majora (the larger, outer vaginal lips).
