At the Intimate Wellness Institute of Virginia, we understand that feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin is essential to your overall well-being. Concerns about the appearance of the mons pubis are common, yet often go unaddressed because of their personal nature. We want you to know that you are not alone, and we are here to provide expert, compassionate solutions. As the most experienced and only dedicated practice for cosmetic gynecology in the region, Dr. Nathan Guerette and the Intimate Wellness Institute offer unparalleled expertise in procedures like Monsplasty, delivered in a supportive and confidential environment.
The mons pubis (sometimes called the “mons”) is the mound of fatty tissue located directly over the pubic bone, just above the clitoris. This tissue naturally becomes more prominent in women, especially after puberty or with changes in weight, and serves as a natural cushion during sexual intercourse. It also contains glands that secrete pheromones, which are associated with sexual attraction.
Many women find that life’s transitions—such as pregnancy, childbirth, significant weight gain or loss, and the natural aging process—can alter the appearance of this area. These changes can cause the mons to become enlarged, protrude, or develop drooping, lax skin that seems to overhang.
This can be particularly noticeable when wearing form-fitting clothing like yoga pants or swimwear, and can understandably lead to feelings of self-consciousness or discomfort for many women. The appearance can be further accentuated in patients who have a C-section or other abdominal surgery scar, as tissue can accumulate above the firm scar line.
A Monsplasty, or mons pubis reduction, is a procedure expertly designed to reshape this area. By reducing excess skin and fatty tissue, a monsplasty sculpts, lifts, and tightens the mons, creating a smoother, flatter, and more aesthetically pleasing contour that aligns with the rest of your body.
Dr. Guerette will consult with you to understand your specific anatomy and goals, selecting the best option to achieve the beautiful results you desire.
Surgical Monsplasty (Mons Pubis Reduction)
This minimally invasive, office-based procedure offers the most significant and lasting results. It involves a two-step process performed with exceptional precision by Dr. Guerette:
Non-Surgical Monsplasty (Laser or Radiofrequency)
For women with more minor degrees of excess tissue or skin laxity, or for those who prefer a non-invasive approach, we offer state-of-the-art non-surgical solutions. Using advanced laser and radiofrequency devices, we can gently heat the tissue to tighten the skin and reduce small amounts of fatty tissue, helping to flatten the area. These treatments are painless, require no anesthesia, and have no preparation or recovery time.
True aesthetic harmony is often achieved by looking at the complete picture. To create the very best cosmetic outcomes, Dr. Guerette may recommend combining a Monsplasty with other procedures such as a Labiaplasty or Vaginoplasty. Furthermore, the fat carefully removed during your mons liposuction can be purified and delicately transferred to the labia majora (outer lips) to restore youthful volume—a procedure known as labia majora augmentation. This holistic IWI Combination Therapy addresses all aspects of your physical concerns, leading to the most comprehensive and satisfying results.
Making the decision to have a Monsplasty is a very personal one. This procedure may be a option for you if you are over 18, in good general health, and find yourself feeling self-conscious about the appearance of your pubic area. Many women who choose this path are seeking to address a prominent mons pubis or overhanging skin that makes them uncomfortable in clothing or lowers their self-confidence. If you feel the appearance of your pubic area has been altered by life events and you wish to restore a contour that feels more like you, a consultation with our team can help clarify your options.
Your comfort and successful recovery are our priorities. After a surgical monsplasty, you will be given a detailed, tailored set of instructions to guide your healing.
You don’t have to live with discomfort or self-consciousness. If you are ready to learn more about how a Monsplasty can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body, we invite you to take the next step.
