Quick Facts About Pubic Liposuction and Pubic Lift
- Procedure Duration: 1–2 hours.
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia.
- Hospital Stay: Day procedure (performed in clinic or surgical facility).
- Results: Immediate improvement; final results visible after the swelling subsides (3–6 months).
- Longevity: Permanent results with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
- Best Candidates: Individuals with excess fat, sagging skin, or laxity in the mons pubis.
What to Expect
Before Surgery:
Your consultation with Dr. Tim includes a detailed assessment of your goals, anatomy, and overall health. Dr. Tim will evaluate the pubic area and recommend the most appropriate procedure—liposuction, a lift, or a combination of both. Pre-operative instructions, such as fasting and avoiding certain medications, will be provided.
During Surgery:
- For Pubic Liposuction: A small cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to gently suction fat and sculpt the area.
- For Pubic Lift: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create a firmer, lifted appearance.
- Combination Procedure: Liposuction and lift techniques are combined for optimal contouring.
Incisions are carefully placed to minimise visible scarring and maximise aesthetic outcomes.
After Surgery:
A compression garment may be applied to support healing and reduce swelling. In most cases, patients can return home the same day.
Pubic liposuction is a procedure to remove excess fat from the mons pubis using gentle suction techniques, creating a flatter, more proportionate appearance.
A pubic lift (monsplasty) removes excess skin and tightens the tissues of the mons pubis to create a firmer, lifted contour.
Good candidates are individuals with excess fat, sagging skin, or laxity in the pubic area who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery taking 4–6 weeks.
Scars are minimal and placed in inconspicuous areas. With proper care, they typically fade significantly over time.
Yes, pubic liposuction or lift is often combined with abdominoplasty, lower body lift, or liposuction of adjacent areas for comprehensive contouring.
Yes, the results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations may affect the outcome.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, ensuring no discomfort during surgery. Post-operative pain is mild and manageable with prescribed medications.
Risks
While pubic liposuction and pubic lift are safe and effective procedures, potential risks include:
- Infection or delayed wound healing.
- Scarring (typically minimal and fades over time).
- Changes in skin sensation (temporary or permanent).
- Fluid accumulation or seroma (rare).
- Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome.
- Rare complications related to anaesthesia or surgery.
Recovery Tips
- Follow Post-Operative Instructions: Adhere to Dr. Tim’s care guidelines for optimal healing.
- Wear a Compression Garment: This reduces swelling and supports the treated area.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from exercise, heavy lifting, and vigorous activities for at least 4–6 weeks.
- Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Practice good hygiene and follow wound care instructions to prevent infection.
- Rest and Stay Hydrated: Proper rest and hydration promote faster recovery.
- Monitor Swelling: Mild swelling is normal and subsides over several weeks.
