Mons and Labia Majora Liposuction
Mons is the area above the vulva overlying pubic bone, which is hairy and contains subcutaneous fat.
Often it becomes puffy and bulging, commonly referred to as “camel toe.” This gives embarrassment to the females as fatty accumulation in these areas can create aesthetic issues in clothing, undergarments, and bathing suits. Females are forced to resist wearing body hugging or revealing dresses. Females desperately want to remove the unsightly fatty bulges in that area and which makes them feel depressed about it.
This may also be a concern for their partners who find this unattractive and weird. This can gradually lead to sexual dissatisfaction.
Following liposuction and abdominoplasty of abdomen, tummy becomes flatter but mons fat can just pop out and become more prominent. This can look inappropriate with bulge near the pubis. Hence, liposuction should usually be performed in this area also.
Liposuction done to involve the mons pubis area and the labia majora sucks out the extra amount of fat and gives it a firmer and flatter look.
If your skin does not have good elasticity, the skin bulge may still be left after liposuction, so often there is need to do this procedure along with monsplasty.
If your answer for following question is YES, you are definitely a good candidate for this procedure.
Unwanted fullness or protruding of the mons due to excessive obesity or massive weight loss or pregnancy .
Focal overhanging of mons area.
Excess drooping of the mons resistant to exercise and diet.
Weird protruding pubic appearance through the swimwear, yoga attire or tight dress.
