People often associate body contouring with other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs. The pubic region can also be the site of excess weight gain and fat (and loose skin) from other causes, such as age, weight gain or weight loss, pregnancy, or elasticity changes. This fullness is sometimes called an enlarged mons pubis and may impact the body’s proportions and cause fitted apparel to feel uncomfortable. Luckily, monsplasty is an effective remedy for people who want a smooth and well-balanced body contour in the lower body area.
Can Monsplasty Improve Body Contours? Yes, it does. This procedure helps to contour the pubic area and lower abdomen by removing excess fat and skin from the area, which increases confidence. Dr. Naveera Rafique is a highly skilled and experienced Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon at Incisions Clinic, who uses state-of-the-art surgical methods to achieve a natural appearance and lasting results from her monsplasty procedures.
What Is Monsplasty?
A monsplasty, or pubic lift/mons pubis reduction, is a cosmetic surgery option that sculpts the fat and loose skin over the pubic bone. The goal is to provide a flatter, firmer, and more balanced look.
It is sometimes performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures, like liposuction or a tummy tuck. It may also be used alone in patients with a primary issue of fullness in the pubic area.
Why Does the Mons Pubis Become Enlarged?
There are a few reasons for excess fat and/or skin on the mons pubis. While a healthy lifestyle can help in the overall body shaping, some body shaping changes are not possible to achieve through diet and exercise.
Common causes include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Aging
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- A decrease in the elasticity of the skin.
This leaves some people feeling as if their pubic area is sticking out more than the rest of their body, even when they reach their desired weight.
How Does Monsplasty Improve Body Contours?
Monsplasty helps to improve body contours by creating softer curves between the lower abdomen and pubic region. The procedure conserves balance and proportion by eliminating excess tissue, which can disrupt the body’s natural shape.
Let’s take a look at some of the main ways that monsplasty can enhance your body contours.
Creates a Flatter Lower Abdomen
A rounded or raised perineum might make the lower abdomen look plump. The monsplasty procedure is designed to remove excess tissue, leaving the abdomen smoother and enhancing the overall silhouette.
Improves Body Proportions
Body contouring is about making harmony between various parts of the body. Monsplasty works to restore balance by eliminating excess fullness and adding proportion.
Enhances Clothing Fit
Some individuals are embarrassed to wear leggings, swimwear, or tight-fitting garments because they can create a visible bulge in the skin. Post-monsplasty, clothes may fit better and look more attractive.
Boosts Self-Confidence
If you are happy with your body, it can have a positive impact on a lot of things in your life. Patients often feel more confident post-surgery, as they feel more comfortable in various kinds of clothing and in various social settings.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Monsplasty?
Monsplasty may be an option for you if:
- Being obese in the pubic area
- If you’ve lost weight, experience loose skin.
- Does not wear clothes that fit him or her properly
- If the changes are due to pregnancy, have you completed your family?
- Maintain a healthy body weight
- Are physically well and healthy.
- Have realistic expectations about the results
In your consultation, Dr. Naveera Rafique will thoroughly assess your concerns and develop a treatment plan based on your medical needs and desired outcome.
What Happens During the Procedure?
You’ll have an appointment with Dr. Naveera Rafique before surgery to discuss your expectations, medical history, and desired results. She will fully inspect and explain all steps in the process, giving you a sense of information and confidence.
In monsplasty, she takes out extra fat and some slack skin from the mons pubis area and carefully contours the area in a natural shape. Liposuction can also be used to fine-tune the results in some cases. An individualized surgical plan is developed for each patient that will enhance their body proportions and provide a seamless, aesthetically pleasing look. The treatment will typically take 1 – 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the treatment.
Recovery After Monsplasty
Unless patients follow their surgeon’s advice, most patients make it through the recovery process without a hitch. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common during the first few days but will improve as healing occurs.
Patients should:
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Follow your doctor’s orders regarding medications
- Do not do strenuous exercise for several weeks.
- Maintain surgical field cleanliness
- Drink plenty of water and consume nutritious foods.
- Go to all subsequent visits
Patients can resume light daily activities within one to two weeks, but total healing takes longer.
