What It Is

Mons liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from the mons pubis—the fatty area above the pubic bone. Some women experience fullness, bulging, or sagging in this area due to genetics, aging, weight gain, or hormonal changes.

In Korea, mons liposuction is performed with advanced techniques such as tumescent liposuction, power-assisted liposuction (PAL), or laser-assisted liposuction to achieve a smoother, flatter, and more proportionate appearance.

Why It’s Done

Patients undergo mons liposuction because:

• They feel self-conscious about a bulging mons pubis in fitted clothing or swimwear.
• Excess fat causes discomfort during intimacy or physical activity.
• They want to restore a youthful and balanced lower body contour.
• It is often combined with procedures like tummy tuck, labiaplasty, or body contouring for complete rejuvenation.

Good candidates include:

• Women with stubborn fat in the mons pubis despite weight loss and exercise.
• Patients in good health with elastic skin for smooth results.
• Those with realistic expectations about outcomes and scarring.

Alternatives

• Non-surgical fat reduction (cryolipolysis, radiofrequency, ultrasound): May improve mild fullness but less effective than surgery.
• Mons lift (monsplasty): Performed when there is excess sagging skin in addition to fat.
• Weight loss: Can reduce overall fat but may not target the mons area specifically.

Preparation

Before mons liposuction in Korea, patients will:

• Undergo consultation and physical examination to evaluate fat distribution.
• Stop smoking and alcohol 2–4 weeks before surgery.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements.
• Arrange recovery time, usually shorter than for major body surgeries.

How It’s Done

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on the case.
• Incision: Tiny incisions (2–4 mm) hidden in natural creases.
• Fat removal: A cannula is inserted to suction out fat using tumescent, PAL, or laser-assisted methods.
• Shaping: The area is contoured for a smooth and natural transition with the abdomen and pubic region.
• Duration: 1–2 hours, usually outpatient.

Recovery

• First week: Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness; compression garment worn.
• Return to activities: Light activities in 2–3 days; strenuous exercise avoided for 2–4 weeks.
• Final results: Flatter, smoother mons pubis within 1–2 months after swelling resolves.

Possible Complications

• Temporary numbness or sensitivity changes.
• Contour irregularities or asymmetry.
• Infection or delayed healing (rare).
• Scar visibility, though minimized with tiny incisions.

Treatment Options in Korea

Diagnosis

Korean surgeons use physical examination, digital photography, and 3D body imaging to evaluate fat volume and skin elasticity.

Medical Treatments

• Non-surgical fat reduction (cryolipolysis, ultrasound, radiofrequency) for patients with mild fullness.

Surgical or Advanced Therapies

• Mons liposuction alone for patients with localized fat deposits.
• Mons liposuction with lift (monsplasty) for cases involving sagging skin.
• Combination with tummy tuck or labiaplasty for comprehensive lower body contouring.

Rehabilitation and Support

• Compression garment use to support healing and reduce swelling.
• Scar care with silicone gels or laser therapy if needed.
• Follow-up visits to ensure even contour and smooth recovery.
• International patients benefit from Korea’s advanced liposuction technology, experienced surgeons, and discreet aftercare services.
