I Lost Weight: Is monsplasty the fix for a Flabby Pubic Area?

After losing a significant amount of weight, there is a chance you will have loose skin in areas you didn’t realize were possible. You may be experiencing loose skin in your arms, thighs, abdomen, and even your pubic area.

That area, known as the mons pubis, faces the floor instead of forward when there is a significant amount of sagging skin as the result of your weight loss. With the help of a monsplasty by one of the best Las Vegas plastic surgeons, you can revitalize this area.

The Procedure

bikini after surgery with plastic surgeons las vegasA monsplasty, also called a mons lift, a pubic lift, or a mons pubis reduction, is usually done at the same time as a tummy tuck. That is because, when there is significant sagging in the pubic area, it is usually accompanied by a significant amount of excess skin around the abdomen.

Depending on which plastic surgeon you choose, you may be able to forego this procedure when you get your tummy tuck. If the surgeon makes the incision low enough, it can be possible to remedy the problem of a sagging mons pubis while removing the excess skin around the abdomen. In some cases, however, the sagging in the pubic area is too severe and a monsplasty needs to be performed as well to truly solve your problem.

In a monsplasty procedure, an incision is made just above the the pubic hair line. The excess skin there is removed in order to tighten and lift the mons pubis. After the extra skin is removed, the remaining skin is lifted and tightened. Then, the incision is closed. The scar that results from a monsplasty sits low enough that it will be covered while wearing bathing suits or underwear.

Benefits

There are many benefits to having a monsplasty done. When the extra skin is eliminated in that area, rashes, skin infections, and foul odors that may have been a common occurrence should no longer be a problem.

Another appreciated benefit is increased confidence in your clothes. Excess skin in the pubic area usually makes the pubic area bulge. This creates lumps and bumps in your clothing that make many people feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. This can be the case no matter what you wear to try to cover up the excess skin.

A monsplasty is also a good option for women who have recently given birth. During pregnancy, the mons pubis is stretched significantly. For many women, that area does not shrink back down to its original condition.
