monplasty
Overview
Monplasty, also known as monsplasty or pubic lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of the mons pubis (the fatty area above the pubic bone). This procedure can address concerns related to excess fat or skin in this area, which can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, Dr. Sivakumar and our expert team offer personalized monplasty procedures to help patients achieve a more contoured and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Objectives
The primary objectives of monplasty are to:
- Reduce the size and projection of the mons pubis.
- Tighten loose or sagging skin in the pubic area.
- Improve overall body contour and proportions.
- Enhance self-confidence and body image.
Introduction
Many individuals find that excess fat or sagging skin in the mons pubis area can cause discomfort, self-consciousness, and difficulty wearing certain types of clothing. Monplasty can address these concerns by removing excess tissue and tightening the remaining skin, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery, we understand the sensitive nature of this procedure and are committed to providing compassionate, discreet care to all our patients. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sivakumar, we strive to deliver results that meet your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Equipment
The equipment used during a monplasty procedure typically includes:
- Surgical marking pens: To delineate the areas for incision and tissue removal.
- Scalpel: For making precise incisions.
- Liposuction cannula: To remove excess fat, if necessary.
- Surgical scissors and forceps: For tissue manipulation and removal.
- Sutures: To close incisions.
- Surgical drains: To manage fluid accumulation post-surgery.
- Compression garments: To support the area during healing.
Contraindications
Monplasty may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, including:
- Active infections in the surgical area.
- Uncontrolled diabetes.
- Significant bleeding disorders.
- Severe cardiovascular disease.
- Unrealistic expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery.
- Morbid obesity (in some cases).
Technique or Treatment
The monplasty procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: General or local anesthesia with sedation is administered for your comfort.
- Incision: An incision is made in the lower abdomen or along the bikini line, depending on the extent of correction needed.
- Tissue Removal: Excess fat may be removed through liposuction, and excess skin is excised.
- Tissue Tightening: The remaining skin and tissue are tightened and repositioned.
- Closure: The incision is closed with sutures, and surgical drains may be placed.
- Dressing: A sterile dressing and compression garment are applied to support the area and minimize swelling.
Anesthesia
Monplasty can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure and your preferences. Our experienced anesthesiologists at Covai Cosmetic Surgery will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the surgery.
Expectations from Monplasty
After monplasty, you can expect:
- A reduction in the size and projection of the mons pubis.
- A smoother, more toned appearance in the pubic area.
- Improved comfort and confidence in clothing.
- Enhanced body contour and proportions.
It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of monplasty. While the procedure can significantly improve the appearance of the mons pubis, it may not eliminate all imperfections or achieve perfect symmetry.

The best candidates for monplasty are individuals who:
- Are in good general health.
- Have excess fat or sagging skin in the mons pubis area.
- Are bothered by the appearance of their pubic area.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.
- Are committed to following post-operative care instructions.
The Possible Risks of Undergoing Monplasty

Types of Monplasty Procedures
There are generally two main types of monplasty procedures:
- Liposuction Monplasty: This involves using liposuction to remove excess fat from the mons pubis. It is suitable for individuals with good skin elasticity.
- Excisional Monplasty: This involves surgically removing excess skin and fat from the mons pubis. It is suitable for individuals with significant skin laxity.
The best type of monplasty for you will depend on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Sivakumar will assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate approach.

Long-term side effects of monplasty are rare but may include:
