The Specifics
What is a monsplasty?
A monsplasty (a.k.a. a pubic lift) is a plastic surgery to tighten and tone the mons pubis, which is the fatty mound of tissue above the genitals. The mons pubis protects the pubic bone and pubic joint. This area can become enlarged due to weight gain, pregnancy, or childbirth, which can interfere with urination, sex, and general appearance. A monsplasty removes excess skin and fat of the mons pubis. The procedure is not performed in overweight individuals who are not actively pursuing weight loss.
