Pubic Lift
In the pubic region, the mons pubis is a fatty tissue directly above the genitals. With weight gain and aging, this area can become enlarged and saggy, changing the shape of the lower abdomen and pubic region, and possibly interfering with genital function. Pubic lifts, or monsplasties, are body contouring procedures that remove excess skin and tissue from the mons pubis to enhance appearance and function. At our surgical center in Tijuana, MX, you can have the mons pubis reshaped by Dr. Oscar Porras to achieve a more flattering appearance and is considered a must to reconstruct in every abdominoplasty.
In addition to interfering with sexual intercourse and urination, an enlarged or sagging mons pubis may be uncomfortable or unattractive. Pubic lift candidates are unhappy with the appearance of their pubic region below their lower abdomen or have experienced functional problems caused by excess fat or skin. It is most requested by women, but men can also benefit from reshaping the pubic area. Prior to plastic surgery, patients should be in good health and refrain from smoking and taking anti-inflammatory medications.
As a stand-alone surgery, some patients can only receive local anesthesia during a pubic lift. Monsplasty is often performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck or other procedures requiring general anesthesia. Dr. Oscar Porras will carefully remove excess fatty tissue and skin from the mons pubis before tightening and reshaping it. To improve genital appearance and function, a natural transition from the lower abdomen to the pubic region must be rejuvenated and restored.
Compared to other types of plastic surgery, pubis lift recovery is relatively short. This is an outpatient surgery that is completed at our facility in Tijuana, MX. It is recommended that patients have a friend or family member take them home after their procedure. There may be some bruising and swelling in the area, but most non-strenuous activities can be resumed within a week. If other procedures were performed during the same time as your monsplasty, Dr. Oscar Porras will recommend restricting exercise for 2-3 weeks or longer.
