Mons Pubis Liposuction/Lift

Liposuction is commonly associated with areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. It is also used to remove pockets of fat that cause a prominent bulge in the pubic region called the mons pubis—the layer of fat lying above the pubic bone. Women can accumulate more fat than usual in their pubic mound with age, after childbirth, or due to obesity.

Initial Consultation

To gauge if a mons pubis lift and/or liposuction is the ideal procedure for your body type and the ideal shape you’d like to achieve, you’ll need to book a consultation with our plastic surgeon Doctor Barnouti.

During the consultation, Dr Barnouti will thoroughly examine your full medical history and listen to your wishes to ensure they’re realistic and achievable.

You can bring your partner or a friend for support during the consultation.

Surgery

Mons pubis liposuction

This involves numbing the area to be treated with a local anaesthetic and suctioning out the fatty tissue. Recovery time is usually only two or three days.

Mons pubis lift

This surgical procedure requires a general anaesthetic and, therefore, carries increased risk and longer recovery time. The procedure will be tailored to your specific shape and concern. Dr. Barnouti will explain the recommended course of action to you in detail during your first consultation and take time to answer all your questions.

The operation usually takes about 60 minutes.

Mons pubis lift and liposuction

If both procedures are being combined, they’ll be carried out while you’re in surgery taking a total time of around 60 to 90 minutes.

What are the risks associated with this procedure?

Plastic surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries inherent risks and potential complications.

Please read our Risks and Complications of Plastic Surgery page.

Time off work

With Liposuction alone: 3 days.
With Liposuction and Pubic lift: 5 Days

Recovery

Swelling and bruising will subside after 2 – 3 weeks. Excess tumescent fluid may seep through the tiny incision for a week or so after the procedure, and a compression garment is usually worn. Patients may feel tender and tight in the area for 1 – 2 weeks post-procedure. You are encouraged to return to light duties and work within 48 hours of performing the liposuction on the Mons Pubis.

Dr Barnouti will explain the recovery process in detail and outline the post-procedural care instructions required for a swift and smooth healing process.
