What is a Monsplasty?
Monsplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that removes fat from the mons pubis, which is the area that extends from where your pubic hair starts down to the genitals. The internet abounds with information about exercise routines to lose your “FUPA,” or fat-upper-pubic-area. Oftentimes, this fat lingers no matter how many planks you do! Monsplasty rids you of this bulge of fat for the long-term.
The mons pubis is composed of a fat pad that protects the underlying pubic bone. While it is necessary to have a layer of fat over the bone, an excess of tissue can result in a bulky, puffy appearance. Monsplasty is an excellent solution for women who want to feel more comfortable with this area of the body. The sculpting technique can be done independently or in combination with other body-contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck.
Benefits of Monsplasty
Monsplasty reduces the FUPA and can produce physical and emotional benefits, including:
-
Correction or prevention of vaginal introitus distortion
-
Enhanced physical appearance of the genitalia
-
Improved comfort during exercise
-
Improved self-confidence and satisfaction with appearance
-
Ability to comfortably wear bathing suits and form-fitting clothing
-
Monsplasty is a safe, effective procedure
Candidates for Monsplasty
Monsplasty may be a good option for women who feel self-conscious about excess fullness, sagging, or puffiness in the mons pubis area. Concerns in this area may develop due to weight gain, weight loss, aging, pregnancy, or genetics and can affect both appearance and comfort.
You may be a candidate for monsplasty if you:
-
Notice excess fullness or sagging in the mons pubis area
-
Feel self-conscious in fitted clothing or swimwear
-
Experience changes after weight fluctuations or pregnancy
-
Want smoother lower abdominal contours
-
Are in good overall health
-
Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
Monsplasty may also be combined with other body contouring or vaginal rejuvenation procedures, such as tummy tuck surgery or labiaplasty, for more comprehensive results.
The Monsplasty Procedure
Monsplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgical facility using local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment and the patient’s preferences.
During the procedure:
-
Excess fatty tissue may be removed using liposuction to reduce fullness and improve contours
-
Loose or sagging tissue can be tightened for a smoother appearance
-
Carefully placed incisions are used to minimize visible scarring
-
Excess skin may be trimmed before the incisions are closed with sutures
The procedure generally takes about one to two hours, though treatment time can vary depending on the surgical plan. Dr. Mahony customizes every procedure to create balanced, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recovery is generally short for monsplasty patients. Mild to moderate discomfort may last for 3 to 4 days. Patients can expect bruising and swelling in the surgical area. Prescription or over-the-counter medication can help relieve discomfort, while rest and avoiding strenuous physical activity can promote optimal healing. Patients may be advised to postpone sexual activity for 3 to 6 weeks after their procedure. A postoperative visit may occur about 2 weeks after surgery to assess healing and discuss which activities can be resumed.
The cost of treatment can vary based on several factors, including a surgeon’s experience and training, location, and ancillary procedures such as labiaplasty, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. Additional fees included in the overall cost of monsplasty include anesthesia, medication, surgical center fees, and medical supplies for recovery. While insurance companies do not provide coverage for procedures like monsplasty, patients can explore various financing options to help them get the procedure that will help them feel like themselves again.
