Introduction
Weight changes, pregnancy, aging, genetics, or even past surgeries can cause some extra fullness or sagging in the pubic area. A monsplasty can help by removing that extra skin and fat for a smoother, flatter look.
At Dr. Craig Baldenhofer’s New York practice, people from Manhattan, Long Island (Huntington and Massapequa), and the Tri-State Area come for a monsplasty to improve the balance and shape of their lower bodies.
Monsplasty is a surgery that reduces and reshapes the mons pubis, the soft area above the pubic bone. Extra tissue here can develop due to aging, genetics, pregnancy, significant weight changes, or prior abdominal surgery.
During surgery, the extra fat and skin are removed to make the pubic area flatter and smoother. Some clients may only need liposuction, but others might need skin removal and tightening for better results.
The best candidates are people with excess tissue, sagging skin, or mons pubis fullness that does not improve with diet and exercise. Ideal candidates include:
Many people choose monsplasty to look better and feel more comfortable. Some benefits include:
The first step is to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Baldenhofer at his New York practice. He will check your anatomy, discuss your concerns, and determine whether monsplasty is right for your goals.
A monsplasty will be done under general anesthesia or sedation, depending on your treatment plan.
During the procedure, Dr. Baldenhofer will remove excess skin and fat from the mons pubis and shape the area for a smooth transition between the lower abdomen and the pubic region. Sometimes, liposuction may be used to improve the shape further. The incisions will be placed low so they can be hidden under underwear or swimwear when possible.
After surgery, you will be monitored before going home. You will receive detailed recovery instructions and compression garments to support healing.
Monsplasty is commonly combined with other body-contouring procedures to achieve more balanced, comprehensive lower-body rejuvenation.
A tummy tuck is often done with monsplasty. The tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin from the midsection, while monsplasty reshapes the pubic area for a sleeker, more balanced lower abdomen.
Liposuction can be added to shape areas like the abdomen, sides, hips, or thighs. Liposuction with monsplasty can improve your body’s shape and help you achieve a more sculpted look.
People who have lost a lot of weight often combine monsplasty with other skin-removal surgeries to remove excess tissue from the abdomen, thighs, or lower body. This can greatly improve comfort, movement, and body shape.
Your Guide to Post-Monsplasty Care
Recovery after monsplasty depends on the extent of your surgery and whether you had other procedures at the same time. Most will have some swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort at first.
You’ll need to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and help with healing. Walking soon after surgery is encouraged to help circulation, but Dr. Balderhofer recommends avoiding heavy lifting and hard exercise for a few weeks.
Most people can return to light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling will continue to improve over the next few months, and you’ll see your final results as the swelling subsides and tissues settle.
The cost of monsplasty in Manhattan, Long Island, and the Tri-State Area depends on how complex your procedure is, anesthesia fees, facility costs, and whether you have other body contouring surgeries at the same time.
If you combine monsplasty with a tummy tuck, liposuction, or other body contouring after weight loss, the total cost may be higher because the surgery takes longer and recovery is more involved. Since everyone’s needs are different, you’ll get a final price during your personal consultation with Dr. Baldenhofer.
