Female and Male Monsplasty (Pubic Lift) Surgery in Houston, TX

Many women develop a bulge or mound of excess skin and fat in the mons region (pubic area), or the upper part of the vulva where pubic hair typically grows, often referred to as the “mound of Venus.”

When too much fat accumulates in this region, the resulting fatty bulge can cause clothing to fit uncomfortably, producing embarrassment and discomfort that may prevent you from wearing certain garments. Additionally, the mons may appear to droop and sag, imparting an aged appearance to the entire genital region. Because this area of the body may not readily respond to a regimen of diet and exercise, a procedure such as monsplasty is recommended to improve both comfort and appearance, while rejuvenating the genital region.

Every procedure is tailored to the patient’s unique goals and the extent of their condition, so the actual procedure may vary widely among different patients.  The amount of fatty tissue and excess skin to be removed will determine whether liposuction or surgical extraction will be the most effective approach, which will, in turn, determine the process and length of the procedure. In some cases, local anesthesia with oral sedation may be sufficient, while general anesthesia may be more suitable in other cases.

Plan to have someone drive you home after your procedure, as you may still be too groggy or sensitive to drive home.  If surgical drains have been inserted, these will typically be removed after a few days.

You’ll need about a week of recovery time, with restrictions on physical activity, including sexual activity, for an additional two to six weeks, depending on the extent of your specific procedure

This procedure produces a flatter and firmer mons region that is less visible under clothing. In cases of a sagging mons, the procedure will diminish the amount of sagging tissue and skin to create a tighter, firmer appearance.

For many men weight gain, aging, and the effects of gravity may cause fatty tissue to settle in the mons pubis region—the pubic region that lies on top of the penis. When this happens, the penis appears shorter in length. In some cases, the penis may even be entirely concealed by the fat pad that develops in that region and the problem may even hinder sexual function.

Male monsplasty is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the fatty tissue in the pubic area, restoring a more toned and youthful appearance, and resulting in better visibility of the penis, allowing its full length to be visible.

Male monsplasty is normally performed using liposuction, a technique in which excess fat is extracted from the body by means of a gentle suction mechanism. Liposuction removes fat cells permanently and requires only tiny incisions and a short recovery period. For more severe cases, monsplasty may need to be performed as a more invasive procedure.

Male monsplasty may also be combined with a pubic lift for men, which lifts and trims sagging skin in the pubic area, a problem that may affect men after weight loss or as a result of aging.

To further enhance the area and restore a more toned and youthful appearance in the entire pelvic region, men may opt to combine the monsplasty and/or pubic lift with a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck—a surgical procedure that also reduces fat and tightens and tones the skin in the abdomen or lower abdomen.
