What Is Mons Pubis (Venus Hill) Aesthetics?

The mons pubis is an upside-down triangle made up of skin and fat tissue that covers the joint connecting the pubic bone and pelvis. Sometimes referred to as the pubic mound, the mons pubis is covered in pubic hair after puberty.

In women, the mons pubis is larger and more pronounced. During puberty in both males and females, pubic hair begins to grow on the mons pubis. In females, the fat tissue in the mons pubis is sensitive to estrogen, causing it to grow even more during puberty. During menopause, when estrogen decreases, the mons pubis shrinks and becomes less pronounced.

Structure of the Mons Pubis

The mons pubis consists of fat tissue and is shaped like an inverted triangle extending from the top of the pubic hairline to the genitals. In women, it extends from the top of the pubic hairline to the clitoris.

During puberty, the mons pubis is covered in pubic hair and also contains glands that start to produce pheromones, substances involved in sexual attraction.

Anatomy of the Mons Pubis

In women, the mons pubis is the front part of the vulva. It is divided into the labia majora on both sides of the pudendal cleft, which covers the other structures of the vulva, including the labia minora, clitoris, urethra, and vaginal opening.

Although the mons pubis is more prominent in women, it is present in both males and females. The fat tissue is sensitive to estrogen, which causes the formation of a prominent mound with the onset of female puberty. This pushes the anterior part of the labia majora outward and away from the pubic bone. The mound is also covered in pubic hair.

Mons Pubis Aesthetic Surgery: Mons pubis aesthetic surgery, also known as monsplasty or mons reduction, is a body shaping procedure designed to remove stubborn fat and loose skin from the fatty bulges just above the pubic bone. This localized fat area is called the mons pubis.

Excess fat may accumulate in the mons pubis due to weight gain. Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight may develop loose skin over several months. Mons surgery is an effective treatment for removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a flatter and less prominent mons pubis.

Mons reduction surgery can be performed using several different surgical techniques depending on the underlying problem, whether it is excess fat or excess skin. Patients with loose skin will require surgical removal of excess skin. Many patients may have good skin elasticity, and mons pubis aesthetic surgery alone is an effective treatment. In some cases, these techniques can be combined with mons pubis aesthetic surgery followed by excess skin removal.

Mons surgery is most commonly performed during an abdominoplasty procedure. Abdominoplasty is primarily designed to tighten loose skin affecting both the upper and lower abdomen, which often results in a more prominent mons pubis due to fatty swelling. Performing a monsplasty at the same time as an abdominoplasty means that the groin area can be flattened to the same level as the abdomen.

What are the Benefits of Mons Pubis Aesthetic Surgery?

Mons pubis reduction primarily addresses excess skin or fatty tissue in the mons pubis area. Benefits include: improving the contour of the mons pubis, improving the appearance of the genital area, enhancing self-confidence and self-esteem, and addressing physical discomfort or irritation due to excess skin and fatty tissue.

What are the Benefits of Mons Pubis Aesthetics?

Mons pubis reduction primarily aims to improve the appearance of the mons pubis area, but can also relieve functional symptoms in people with a large amount of excess skin. People with a large mons pubis may have difficulty urinating and having normal sexual intercourse. This is caused by excessive drooping skin that extends down to the external genitalia, including the urethra. For this reason, it is much more difficult to achieve successful results for sexual intercourse.

Many people find that they are unable to adequately clean themselves in the area due to the excessive amount of loose skin present in the area. This can potentially cause skin irritation and bacterial and fungal infections developing in the area.

Some women may notice thickened scars in the lower abdomen due to a previous cesarean section, which can cause the scar to attach to the underlying muscle layer. The skin beneath the scar remains supple, and this extends downward over time, resulting in prominent-looking crests. People who have lost a significant amount of weight may experience an excessive amount of loose skin affecting the abdomen, and tummy tuck is the most effective way to get rid of loose skin. Mons lift surgery is often combined with a tummy tuck to flatten an overly protruding mons pubis, which would otherwise look unsightly when a tummy tuck is performed alone. People can lose self-confidence because of their appearance, and pubis reduction can help restore confidence and improve emotional well-being.

Is Mons Pubis Aesthetic Painful?

Mons Pubis Aesthetics is performed under local anesthesia. There will be mild to moderate bruising after these procedures, but the symptoms and post-procedure discomfort are minimal. Most Mons procedures are performed under local anesthesia within one hour and patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

How Is The Recovery After Mons Pubis Aesthetics?

Recovery after Mons Pubis aesthetics is very fast. Patients leave the Office and return to work the next day. There will be significant swelling and even discoloration of the lips as well as the Mons area following the procedure, but it usually returns to its normal appearance within two to six weeks.
