For many patients, the mons pubis — the soft, fatty mound above the pubic bone — is an overlooked area when it comes to body contouring. But if you’ve noticed a persistent bulge that doesn’t respond to weight loss or feels out of proportion with the rest of your body, you’re not alone. Aging, hormonal shifts, genetics, and even previous plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks can leave behind excess fatty tissue or skin in the pubic region that affects both appearance and comfort.
At Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, FL, mons pubis reduction—also known as a pubic lift procedure or monsplasty surgery—offers a targeted solution to restore contour and reduce bulging in this intimate area. Whether it’s causing discomfort in clothing, impacting your self-confidence, or creating unwanted changes in your physical appearance, this procedure can help you feel more at ease in your body.
A prominent mons can occur for several reasons, often involving a mix of hormonal and physical changes. Common causes include:
For some, this results in physical discomfort, skin irritation, or difficulty wearing fitted clothing or swimwear. Others may experience a dip in self-confidence or changes in intimacy. A monsplasty procedure can address these concerns directly.
Mons pubis reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces excess fatty tissue and/or excess skin in the pubic region. Depending on your anatomy and goals, the procedure may involve:
This procedure is often performed on its own, but can also be combined with other surgeries such as labia minora reduction, tummy tuck, or body contouring procedures for more comprehensive results.
