Mons Lift

What is a Mons Lift?

Expert mons lift surgeries tailored for British patients in Antalya.

A Mons Lift, also known as Mons Pubis Reduction surgery, or a Monsplasty is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the pad sitting on top of the pubic bone - known as the mons pubis. This results in a flatter, firmer mons pubis which may increase self-esteem and make wearing certain clothing easier and more comfortable.

Mons Lift can use various surgical techniques according to your individual concerns. If excess skin is your concern, your surgeon will cut this away - known as an excision. On the other hand, if fat accumulation is your issue, Liposuction will be carried out, followed by skin excision if required.

If mons pubis Liposuction is required as part of your lift, skin excision isn’t always necessary afterwards. If you have only been carrying excess weight for a short period of time and you are young, then the skin should have enough elasticity to return to its original shape. If you are having a lot of weight removed, or if you are older with reduced skin elasticity, then you will find that excess sagging skin may be left behind after your mons pubis Liposuction.

It is common for Mons Lift to be combined with other procedures such as a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). The Tummy Tuck will tighten the skin on the abdomen, therefore making any excess fat in the mons pubis area appear more prominent.

Why do people have a Mons Lift?

Mons Pubis Reduction is designed to address a range of functional and medical concerns, and can deliver aesthetic improvements to the area:

Medical reasons:

• To reduce excess tissue in the mons pubis area after weight loss or pregnancy, which may be causing skin irritation or limiting hygiene maintenance.

• To improve comfort and mobility where overhanging skin is limiting field of movement or impacting posture.

• To reconstruct the area following injury or previous surgery

Aesthetic reasons:

• To create a smoother, proportionate contour in the pubic area.

• To enhance clothing fit and body silhouette.

• To increase confidence in intimate and social settings.

Who is suitable for a monsplasty?

Your specialist consultant surgeon will assess whether you are suitable for a Mons Lift in your one-to-one consultation.

They will examine your Mons Pubis area and discuss your concerns surrounding excess fat or skin. They will discuss your expectations of surgery and ensure you understand the individual results that are possible for you from Mons Pubis Reduction Surgery London. They will show you several Mons Lift before and after images to show you the results that are possible for you.

They will also assess your overall physical and mental health to make sure you are suitable for a general anaesthetic procedure, this may include your weight, and any medical conditions you have. You must be over 18 to have this procedure.

What is involved in a Mons Lift?

A Mons Lift works by improving the shape and size of the Mons Pubis - making it appear less prominent and improving the contours of the lower abdomen.

• Mons Lift including Liposuction

If you have excess fat accumulated around the mons pubis, Liposuction will be performed as part of your Mons Lift. This procedure eliminates stubborn fat cells that do not respond to diet and exercise. A cannula is inserted into the treatment region, and the fat cells are disrupted using vibrations or high-pressure water jets, allowing the fat to be extracted from the body.

While Liposuction effectively removes extra fat, it cannot address the issue of excess skin. If your skin lacks elasticity, you will require the surgical removal of any loose or sagging excess skin.

• Mons Lift without Liposuction

If you have lost a large amount of weight, it is common for loose, excess skin to be left behind. This is because the expanded fat cells stretch the skin, and when these fat cells have shrunk, there is often not enough elasticity present for the skin to return to the skin’s original position.

If loose skin only is the problem, then the surgeon will carry out your Mons Lift by cutting away the excess skin. The mons pubis will be sculpted by tightening the underlying tissues and muscle before being secured into place using sutures.

Monsplasty Treatment recovery

The first few days following surgery may be slightly uncomfortable. Most patients are up and moving within a day and able to bathe normally in three days.

You should expect some swelling and bruising in the surgical area which should heal within the first couple of weeks following surgery. You must avoid strenuous activity for four to six weeks following your Mons Lift.

One week after your surgery you will have an appointment with our nurses. They will assess your incisions, remove any stitches and make sure you are healing well. They will answer any questions you have at this stage and explain how to look after your dressings.

Six weeks after your procedure you will meet with your surgeon so they can discuss your recovery and results. After six weeks, if you have any questions or concerns, you will still be able to contact the team and speak with one of our specialist nurses.

What is the mons pubis?

The mons pubis is a mounded area of fatty tissue that covers the pubic bone. Although both sexes have mons pubis, it is far more prominent in women.

The mons pubis is shaped like an inverted triangle and stretches from the top of the natural pubic hair line down to just above the clitoris. The mons pubis is naturally covered in pubic hair. Inside the mons pubis there are glands which secrete pheromones, which are responsible for sexual attraction. The mons pubis also acts as a protective ‘cushion’ during sexual intercourse.

Why do I have an oversized mons pubis?

There are a number of reasons why someone may have an oversized mons pubis.

If you gain weight, excess fat tends to accumulate in the mons pubis, causing it to bulge and enlarge and stretch the covering skin. When this weight is lost, without enough elasticity, the excess skin doesn’t return to its normal size and sags. Sometimes this tendency to accumulate fat in the area is inherited from your parents.

Women who have previously undergone a C-section may find themselves left with a bulging mons pubis. This is because after a C-section the skin around the scar may stay right against the tissues, but this is not the same for the skin below it.

Oestrogen can cause increased fat deposition in your mons pubis, hence the mons pubis is naturally more prominent in women.

What other treatments can I combine with mons lift?

Mons pubis reduction can be carried out as a stand alone procedure or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures. It is common to have mons reduction alongside a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) or it may be a component of mummy makeover surgery. A mummy makeover is tailored to meet the needs of the individual patient and typically involves procedures that target the breasts, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs and vagina.

You could also combine mons surgery with gynaecological procedures, such as vaginoplasty, labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation.

Should I have mons surgery during a tummy tuck?

Mons lift surgery is commonly performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

When a person has lost large amounts of weight, a lot of loose, sagging skin is quite often left behind. A tummy tuck removes this excess skin and the muscles and fascia of the abdominal wall are tightened to achieve a tighter, flatter-looking stomach. Mons reduction is often carried out at the same time as an enlarged mons pubis is more noticeable once the abdomen has been tightened and sculpted. Our expert surgeon will be able to discuss this combination of treatments with you at your consultation.

How long does it take to recover from a mons lift?

It takes six weeks to make a full recovery from mons pubis reduction surgery.

In the immediate aftermath of mons surgery, you may experience some discomfort and bruising or swelling which may last for up to three weeks. You should be reasonably mobile within a day or two of surgery. You can return to work after one week, although you may need an extended period off work if your job is physically demanding or involves heavy lifting. Exercise, including going to the gym, can be resumed between four to six weeks.

It may take longer to recover if you are combining your mons reduction combined with other surgeries or treatments.

What are the side effects and risks of a mons lift?

Although mons reduction is a safe and low-risk surgery, there are risks associated with liposuction carried out on any area of the body. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, temporary numbness, inflammation and fluid coming from incisions. Very rarely, liposuction can cause; lumpy or uneven results, bleeding under the skin, persistent numbness that can last for months, changes in skin colour, build-up of fluid in the lungs, a blood clot in the lungs or damage to the internal organs.

Any type of operation also carries a risk of excessive bleeding, developing a blood clot in a vein,

infection or an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic. However the risk of any of these happening during your treatment is small.

Is there any scarring following mons reduction?

If you have mons pubis liposuction, then this leaves minimal scarring behind. For skin excision, a small cut will be made across the bikini line, which will result in a small scar. However this scar will be hidden by clothing. If there is a large amount of excess skin to remove, then a vertical cut may be necessary.

We also recommend meeting one of our aestheticians to discuss ongoing treatment to support the healing process if required.

How soon after mons surgery can I resume sexual activity?

You should refrain from pentrative sexual activity for one month after your mons reduction surgery. This is because the mons pubis acts as a ‘cushion’ during sexual intercourse and any friction can exaccerbate discomfort, bruising and swelling in the area. You should only return to sexual activity when you feel ready to do so. If you find that sexual intercourse causes pain or discomfort of the mons pubis, stop and try again after more time has passed.
