Monsplasty London

If you are considering pubic lift surgery, it is vital to complete a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. During this time, you will be able to have a detailed discussion about your treatment goals. Following an examination, your surgeon will be able to outline the treatment options and recommendations for you. Prior to the operation, you will need to undergo a pre-operative assessment, which typically involves a basic medical examination, talking through your medical history and any medications you are taking, alongside some simple medical tests. This can help you and your surgeon decide whether your procedure will be completed under a general anaesthetic (where you will be unconscious throughout the procedure) or with a local anaesthetic +/- sedation (where you will be awake but won’t be able to feel the operation). A general anaesthetic may be more appropriate for certain cases, especially if the monsplasty is being completed alongside other body contouring procedures.

Before the surgery, your surgeon will take time to carefully mark the area of the operation, to ensure that the final results are symmetrical and even. Once the anaesthetic is administered, the surgeon will make an incision just above the mons area, through which excess skin and fatty tissue can be removed. Sometimes liposuction is also used at this stage to improve the overall contour and achieve the desired result. Following this, the overlying skin envelope is tightened and closed using sutures.

Following your operation, you may need a short period of observation (particularly if you have had a general anaesthetic), however most patients are able to go home on the same day. You will be given all the necessary aftercare advice for your wound, including wound dressings and pain killers. It is also recommended to wear a supportive compression garment following the operation, to promote optimal healing of the surgical wound. Most patients require 1-2 weeks of rest, followed by a gradual build up back to normal activities. Strenuous movements or physical activity should be avoided for 6-8 weeks to ensure smooth healing. If you are particularly prone to unfavourable scarring, your surgeon may also recommend the use of additional adjuncts during the healing phase to ensure healthy and aesthetic scar formation.

As with all body contouring procedures, there will be obvious changes to the contour of the lower abdomen and pubic area, however it may take up to several months, once the area has completely healed, to be able to appreciate the final results.
