A monsplasty is a surgical process, which is performed to remove that extra skin and fatty tissue from your mons pubis. Your mons pubis is actually the mound of tissue in front of your pubic bones, that is usually covered in pubic hair. It is a cosmetic procedure. It lifts, tightens and reshapes the structure of your mons pubis to change its appearance. It may also improve function and comfort.

Who is a good candidate for a monsplasty? 

Here are the points to analyse if you’re a good candidate for a monsplasty if you:
  • Have extra tissue or skin that hangs from your mons pubis over your genitals, making it difficult to clean the areas or causing rashes or infections.
  • Have difficulty peeing (urinating) or having sex because of a large mons pubis.
  • Don’t have a medical condition that affects your body’s healing ability.
  • Don’t have heart disease, diabetes or lung disease.
  • Don’t smoke or are able to quit smoking for at least four weeks (two weeks before the procedure and two weeks after the procedure).
  • Have realistic expectations.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction don’t lift your pubic area. Your mons pubis may even be more noticeable after those procedures. Your healthcare provider may recommend getting a monsplasty at the same time as a tummy tuck or liposuction.

Why do people get monsplasty?

You may develop excess skin and fatty tissue in your mons pubis as a result of:
  • Age.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Significant weight loss.
Your skin contains collagen fibers that allow it to move, stretch and return to its normal shape (elasticity). If you gain weight, fat often builds in your mons pubis, and your skin over the area stretches out. When you carry that weight over long periods, the skin on your mons pubis may lose its elasticity and hang from the area. Excess skin in that area can affect your mental health. It may affect you psychosocially (how society and groups affect your thoughts and emotions) and psychologically (how you think about yourself and your behavior), which may cause stress, anxiety and depression.

What happens before a monsplasty?

What happens during a monsplasty?

During this procedure, you are put under general anaesthesia. It helps to make the process easier as you won’t be awake and won’t feel the pain as well. However, in a few cases your Surgeon local anaesthesia and an oral sedative. Local Anaesthesia will numb your pubic area and oral anaesthesia will help you relax during the process.

 Once you’re asleep or sedated, your surgeon will use a sharp, thin knife (scalpel) to make a horizontal incision across your mons pubis. Your surgeon will then use a scalpel or surgical scissors to cut off excess fatty tissue and skin. They’ll then use internal sutures to tighten and shape your muscles and other tissues.

Finally, your surgeon may place small silicone tubes in your mons pubis to drain any blood or fluid. They’ll stitch the tubes into place and stitch the incision closed.

What happens after a monsplasty?

After the process of monsplasty is completed, the doctor will cover your incisions with bandages. Also to helps minimise the swelling, they might also wrap the area with elastic bandage which supports to heal.

Your anesthesiologist will stop putting anesthesia into your body to keep you asleep.

You’ll move to a recovery room, where healthcare providers will wait for you to wake up and monitor your overall health.

Most monsplasties are outpatient procedures, so you can go home the same day you have the surgery. You may have to stay at the healthcare facility overnight if you have a monsplasty at the same time as a tummy tuck or liposuction.

Once your healthcare providers determine you no longer need monitoring, they’ll let you go home (discharge you). You must have a family member or friend drive you home and take care of you for at least the first 24 hours after your monsplasty.
