In Dr. Morwood's Words:

in the Mons
Monsplasty means to shape and mold the mons: the pubic triangle, sometimes called the escutcheon, just below your abdomen. This area can become loose, lax, droopy, or “ptotic,” and develop redundant fat deposits. Monsplasty involves debulking, either by directly excising fat or through liposuction using a closed approach. Dr. Morwood can use monsplasty to make your mons less protuberant and conservatively shape the area. It is frequently combined with a monspexy for elevation and may be performed with a tummy tuck.
What to Expect From Monsplasty With Dr. Morwood
Your consultation with Dr. Morwood begins with a complete medical history, including previous operations, medications, and prior treatments. In a relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere, he listens to what bothers you about the mons and what you would like to change. He examines whether the pubic triangle is loose, lax, droopy, overly protuberant, or contains fat deposits. Photographs and Vectra computer imaging may help evaluate your anatomy and establish realistic goals before Dr. Morwood custom designs your surgical plan.
Monsplasty means shaping and molding the mons. Dr. Morwood may debulk the area by directly excising fat or using liposuction through very small incisions. When loose or drooping tissue requires elevation, he may combine monsplasty with an open monspexy. A transverse incision is made in the supra-pubic area, an ellipse of skin and fat is removed, and the deeper fascia of the mons is secured in a higher position using the abdominal wall fascia as an anchor. This can sculpt, elevate, and tailor the mons while making it less protuberant.
Monsplasty FAQs
What Is the Difference Between a Monsplasty and a Monspexy?
Although the terms are sometimes used together, they describe different aspects of feminine rejuvenation. Monsplasty means shaping and molding the mons. In practical terms, this usually means debulking the area by directly excising fat or using liposuction. This can make your mons less protuberant and conservatively improve its shape.
A monspexy is an elevation procedure. If your primary concern is a loose or drooping mons, Dr. Morwood may recommend elevating the tissues in addition to debulking them. Monsplasty and monspexy are often combined when both excess volume and drooping are present.
What Is the Difference Between the Open and Closed Approaches?
As Dr. Morwood describes in The Truth About Plastic Surgery, body contouring can generally be performed using an open or a closed approach. The open approach uses an incision to remove tissue and gain access to deeper tissues. The closed approach is essentially suctioning through very small incisions. A monsplasty may be accomplished with the closed approach alone when your primary concern is redundant fat rather than loose, drooping tissue requiring elevation.
Can Monsplasty Affect the Labia Majora?
It can, particularly when monsplasty is combined with a monspexy. The mons is anatomically connected to the labia majora. As a result, elevating the mons during a monspexy can also cause some elevation and improved tone in the labia majora.
Can Monsplasty Be Combined With a Tummy Tuck?
Yes. Monsplasty can be performed with a tummy tuck or afterward. Combining procedures can be particularly relevant when changes involve both your lower abdomen and pubic triangle. Dr. Morwood determines whether combining procedures is appropriate after examining your anatomy and discussing exactly what you would like to change.
