Mons Pubis Fat
The mons pubis, also known as the pubic area bulge or mons, is the fatty tissue located in the groin and above the pubic bone. The fat in this area can reach a size that makes some women self-conscious and uncomfortable while wearing tight-fitting clothing such as leggings, skinny jeans, swimsuits, underwear, and tight dresses. It can negatively impact your self-esteem and confidence. People with an enlarged mons pubis avoid situations that could highlight the presence of the fatty bulge.
Mons Pubis Anatomy
The mons pubis, also known as the mons veneris, is the fatty, rounded area located above the pubic bone and below the lower abdomen. It is covered with hair after puberty in most individuals, and it serves to protect the pubic bone and other underlying structures.
The size and shape of the mons pubis can vary among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as genetics, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes. In some cases, excess fat accumulation in the mons pubis can create a bulge or protrusion that can be a cosmetic concern.
There are various cosmetic procedures that can address aesthetic concerns related to the mons pubis, including VASER Liposuction with Renuvion skin tightening. These procedures are typically performed by a plastic surgeon and are designed to improve the appearance of the mons pubis area, enhance body contour, and improve overall self-confidence.
People come to Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin who are self-conscious about undesired fullness in the groin. Removal of the fatty tissue of the mons pubis is a common VASER liposuction procedure. It is most often requested by women; however, some men also have the procedure.
Causes of Mons Pubis Enlargement
A tendency to have more fat in this area can be a genetically predetermined condition, something you are born with. Some people can be of normal weight, or even be underweight, and have a noticeable mons pubis due to a genetic disposition for fat collection in this area.
Enlarged mons pubis can also happen due to weight gain. It is rare to find an overweight woman or man who does not store excess fat in the pubic area.
If you have had liposuction of the abdomen or a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery to flatten your abdomen, you may begin to notice your pubic region fat more visible even though there has been no physical change to the pubic area size. Flattening the abdomen can make the pubic area look as if it is sticking out more.
Mons Pubis Liposuction with VASER
VASER liposuction of the mons pubis is a quick procedure and is done under local anaesthesia. We see dramatic results in nearly all patients. If the skin has good elasticity we expect excellent contraction. The first step in the VASER liposuction procedure is numbing the mons area with physiological solution. This solution contain local anaesthesia. We then direct gentle VASER ultrasound energy to disrupt and loosen mons fat deposits. After that, fat is removed by gentle suctioning with a small cannula. VASER energy gently heats the skin encouraging it to contract.
Enlarged mons pubis can also happen due to weight gain. It is rare to find an overweight woman or man who does not store excess fat in the pubic area.
Even though interest in this type of liposuction is more common among women, men can have excess fat in the mons pubis too. The amount of fat can be so great that it makes the penis appear smaller than it actually is, which can cause intimacy problems for some men. Treatment with VASER liposuction can successfully be done in men as well.
Recovery after Mons VASER
After liposuction of the mons pubis, patients expect swelling in the recovery period. This swelling can extend down to the labia in women and the scrotum in men. Bruising is also not uncommon. Bruising usually resolves after two or three weeks. Swelling can take longer to resolve than seen after liposuction of other body areas. Swelling usually takes 8 to 12 weeks to settle. Continued improvement in swelling can continue for up to four to six months after VASER liposuction.
As is the case with any surgery, complications are possible after a mons pubis liposuction. Haematoma, seroma, delayed wound healing, skin necrosis, and wound infection are some of the possible complications that can occur after surgery to contour the pubic area. Complications are very uncommon with VASER liposuction.

Results
Overall, the results of a mons pubis vaser liposuction procedure is considered permanent as long as you maintain your weight and fitness level. With VASER Lipo, we can produce significant results, without the pain and protracted recovery of typical liposuction treatments. Most patients report superior results in one session, and faster recovery than traditional liposuction.
After VASER Lipo, patients are prescribed a recovery protocol to promote maximum skin retraction for this sensitive mons pubis area. After-all we are looking for even contour and boost in self confidence. We will most likely recommend manual lymphatic massage (MLD) therapy to enhance uneventful and speedier recovery.
We provided our patents with compression garments. These custom fit low waist spanx like girdles help your skin heal to the body’s new contours. They’re comfortable and should be worn for three to four weeks. After your procedure we recommend a short period of rest (typically 24 hours) and quick return to normal daily activity. Usually within a couple of days.
Results are visible immediately after the mons pubis VASER Lipo procedure. However, they continue to improve with time as the tissues undergo healing and retraction over the next four to six months. Recovery vary but most patients report seeing continued skin tightens over the next 4 to 6 months.
