How is it performed?
An incision is made above the pubic area so that it stays within the bikini line. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the mons pubis is lifted and secured to the deeper tissues. Liposuction can be added if necessary, and the procedure is often planned together with a tummy tuck.
Who is it suitable for?
- People with sagging or fullness of the mons pubis
- People with a stable weight
- Those whose general health is suitable for surgery
Consultation and preparation
- At the first consultation, your expectations, medical history and current medications are discussed in detail.
- Blood tests and any other necessary examinations are carried out before surgery, and an anaesthetist's assessment is obtained.
- Blood thinners, certain herbal products and supplements may need to be stopped for a period beforehand on the physician's advice.
- Smoking impairs wound healing; a break of at least several weeks before and after surgery is recommended.

Recovery
Swelling may last a few weeks. A compression garment and hygiene advice are followed.
