Mons Pubis Liposuction Surgery Sydney By Dr Georgina Konrat
The mons pubis is the fatty tissue area above the pubic bone. Some individuals seek information about mons pubis liposuction for various personal or medical reasons. These may include concerns that arise after weight changes, pregnancy, or previous surgery.
Dr Georgina Konrat performs mons pubis liposuction at Double Bay Day Hospital in Sydney. This surgical procedure involves removal of fatty tissue from the mons pubis area. This procedure can be performed alone or combined with other procedures such as labiaplasty.
Like all surgical procedures, mons pubis liposuction carries risks and complications. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, nerve damage, contour irregularities, need for revision surgery, and dissatisfaction with outcomes. Results vary between individuals, and there is no guarantee of specific outcomes.
Consultations are available at Dr Konrat's Bondi Junction rooms. During consultation, the procedure, risks, recovery process, and suitability for surgery are discussed. Before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner, such as a GP.
Educational information only. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before you decide, Dr Konrat will explain the expected outcomes, recovery process, and possible complications in detail. No surgical result can be guaranteed.

Understanding Mons Pubis Liposuction Surgery Sydney
The mons pubis is the soft, rounded area of fatty tissue located directly above the pubic bone. In some women, this area may become more prominent due to genetics, weight changes, pregnancy, or the natural aging process. When this area carries excess fullness, it can make clothing feel tight or cause a lack of confidence in swimwear and fitted garments.
At our Sydney clinic, Dr Georgina Konrat performs mons pubis liposuction using the tumescent technique. This is a precise surgical approach designed to remove targeted fat cells while maintaining the shape. This procedure is usually performed alongside DOVE Labiaplasty or Revision Labiaplasty to ensure balanced proportions across the entire genital area.
The Function of the Mons Pubis
It is important to understand the biological role this tissue plays before considering surgical reduction.
➔ The mons pubis (also known as the mons veneris) serves several key physiological functions:
➔ Physical Protection: The fatty tissue acts as a natural cushion, protecting the underlying pubic bone and delicate internal structures from impact and friction during physical activity.
➔ Glandular Support: The skin covering the mons pubis contains sebaceous and sweat glands that help regulate the local environment.
➔ Anatomical Landmark: It provides the structural foundation for the upper junction of the labia majora and the protective skin folds of the intimate area.
When we perform mons pubis liposuction, the clinical objective is a "gentle reduction." We aim to remove excess bulk that causes physical discomfort or visible prominence, while always preserving enough of the natural fatty layer to maintain these protective functions. If you are experiencing chafing or discomfort due to tissue fullness, our team can assess your suitability during a private consultation.
Common Physical Indications for Mons Pubis Liposuction
While the appearance of the pubic mound is a common reason for seeking surgery, many women experience physical symptoms that make daily activities or clothing choices uncomfortable. A mons pubis reduction is often considered when the fullness in this area is disproportionate to the rest of the body, leading to functional issues.
At our Sydney clinic, Dr Konrat assesses whether the fullness is caused by localised fat deposits (which can be treated with liposuction) or if there is excess skin requiring a different surgical approach.
Addressing Things Anatomically and Physically
Most women who inquire about mons pubis liposuction mons pubis liposuction do so because they are experiencing one or more of the following:
➔ Visible Bulging in Clothing: Localised fat in the mons area can create a prominent "mound" that is visible through fitted garments such as gym wear, swimwear, or tight trousers.
➔ Post-Pregnancy Changes: Pregnancy and C-sections can change how fat is distributed in the lower abdominal and pubic area, sometimes leaving behind a persistent "pocket" of fat that does not respond to exercise.
➔ Physical Discomfort & Chafing: Excess fullness can lead to skin-on-skin friction or trapping of moisture, which may cause ongoing irritation, chafing, or discomfort during exercise and walking.
➔ Hygienic Concerns: In some cases, a heavy or drooping mons pubis can make maintaining hygiene in the vulvar area more difficult.
➔ Proportional Imbalance: Some women feel the mons area is out of proportion with their labia or lower abdomen, especially after having a labiaplasty or losing significant weight.
Is This Cosmetic or Functional?
Under Australian guidelines, we treat every patient as an individual. During your consultation, Dr Konrat will discuss how these physical factors affect your quality of life. Understanding how the procedure is performed and reviewing the risks and complications is essential before deciding if this surgery is right for you.
Determining Suitability for Mons Pubis Liposuction
Not everyone with fullness in the pubic area is a candidate for liposuction. The success of the procedure depends heavily on your skin elasticity and whether the concern is caused by fat or excess skin. During your consultation, Dr Konrat will perform a physical assessment to ensure that liposuction will provide the desired anatomical outcome.
Clinical Criteria for Surgical Patients
You may be a suitable candidate for mons pubis liposuction if you meet the following criteria:
➔ Good Skin Elasticity: For liposuction to be effective, the overlying skin must be firm enough to "snap back" and contour to the new, slimmer shape after the fat is removed.
➔ Localised Fat Deposits: You have a distinct pocket of fat in the mons area that has remained despite reaching a stable healthy weight.
➔ Physical Maturity: You are over the age of 18 and your body has fully developed.
➔ Stable Weight: You are at or near your goal weight, as significant weight fluctuations after surgery can alter the results.
Liposuction Vs Mons Lift
It is important to understand the difference between fat removal and skin removal.
Liposuction: Best for younger patients or those with high skin elasticity where fat is the primary concern.
Mons Lift: If there is significant "sagging" or "skin laxity" (common after massive weight loss or multiple pregnancies), liposuction alone may leave the skin looking deflated. In these cases, a surgical skin excision (lifting the tissue) may be more appropriate.
When Surgery May Not Be Recommended
To ensure patient safety and satisfaction, Dr Konrat may advise against the procedure if:
Primary Cause is Excess Skin: Liposuction on loose skin will not provide a smooth result.
Health Risks: You have underlying medical conditions that could interfere with wound healing or anaesthesia safety.
Smoking: Smoking significantly increases the risk of complications; patients are required to cease smoking well in advance of surgery.
How is a Mons Pubis Liposuction Performed?
The mons pubis is a sensitive anatomical area with a complex network of blood vessels and nerves. To ensure safety and precision, Dr Konrat performs mons pubis reduction using the tumescent liposuction technique. This method involves injecting a saline solution containing a local anaesthetic and adrenaline into the fatty tissue before removal.
Why the Tumescent Method is Used
This approach is specifically chosen for intimate area contouring because it offers several clinical advantages:
➔ Precision: The solution firms the fatty tissue, allowing Dr Konrat to target specific areas with greater accuracy.
➔ Minimised Bruising: The adrenaline in the solution constricts blood vessels, which significantly reduces bleeding and post-operative bruising.
➔ Patient Comfort: The localised anaesthetic provides numbing that lasts well into the early recovery phase, reducing the immediate need for heavy pain medication.
The Surgical Process Step By Step
The procedure is performed as a day surgery at an accredited Sydney hospital. You will be under local anaesthetic with light sedation to ensure you are relaxed and comfortable.
➔ Marking and Mapping: While you are awake, Dr Konrat carefully marks the treatment area to ensure the reduction is balanced and symmetrical with your surrounding anatomy.
➔ Anaesthesia & Tumescence: The numbing solution is gently infused into the mons pubis area.
➔ Fat Removal: Using a very fine surgical instrument called a cannula, Dr Konrat removes the targeted fat cells. The small entry points are placed discreetly, often within natural skin folds or the bikini line.
➔ Ensuring the Shape: Dr Konrat manually checks the area to ensure the fatty layer is reduced evenly, leaving enough tissue to maintain a natural, protective cushion.
Recovery: You will spend a short time in our recovery suite before heading home. Because sedation is used, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
What Can I Expect After Mons Pubis Liposuction?
Recovery from mons liposuction is generally swift. While you can expect some initial swelling and bruising, most patients return to their normal daily routine within a week, with final results emerging as the tissues settle.
Clinical Outcomes & Objectives
When performing mons pubis liposuction, we aim to address the following functional and aesthetic goals:
➔ Reducing localized adipose tissue (fatty deposits) in the pubic area to create a flatter shape.
➔ Addressing a prominent mons pubis to ensure the area is in better proportion with the surrounding anatomy.
➔ Improving physical comfort by reducing heaviness or skin-on-skin friction in the area.
➔ Facilitating a more comfortable fit for exercise attire and daily clothing.
➔ Aiming for a smooth skin surface and protecting underlying nerve sensation during the fat removal process.
Setting Realistic Expectations for Healing
Liposuction of the mons pubis requires patience as the body reabsorbs fluid and the skin settles over the new shape. Because this area is prone to gravity-dependent swelling, it may take a few weeks to see the initial change and several months for the final shape to emerge.
While most patients see a significant reduction in volume by one month, the final "settled" results are typically visible closer to six months as the residual swelling completely dissipates. Liposuction involves tiny incisions that are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible. These small marks typically fade into very fine, barely-noticeable lines over 6–12 months.
It is important to understand that while liposuction can significantly reduce volume, the quality of the result also depends on your skin's natural elasticity. During your consultation, Dr Konrat will assess your skin tone, explain what can be achieved for your specific anatomy, and show educational before-and-after photos from similar cases.

Recovery Timeline & Aftercare
Recovery from mons pubis liposuction is generally straightforward. While most patients return to work within a few days, the final shape will emerge as swelling subsides over several months.
Days 1–3
Expect some bruising and swelling. Wear your compression garment 24/7. Manage discomfort with prescribed or over-the-counter relief.
Week 1
Most patients return to desk-based work. Swelling begins to shift downward. Continue constant use of compression for support.
Weeks 2–4
Bruising typically fades. You may begin light walking, but avoid high-impact exercise, heavy lifting, or straining the area.
Week 6+
Usually cleared by Dr Konrat to stop wearing compression and resume full exercise, swimming, and intimate activities.
General Aftercare Tips
Compression: This is vital for skin retraction and reducing fluid buildup. Wear it exactly as instructed.
Hydration & Salt: Drink plenty of water and keep salt intake low to help minimise post-operative fluid retention.
Movement: Frequent, gentle walking indoors is essential to encourage circulation and prevent blood clots.
Follow-up: Attend all scheduled check-ups to monitor your healing and skin contraction.
Understanding Risks & Complications
All surgical procedures carry inherent risks that require careful consideration before proceeding.
The Importance of Informed Consent
During your consultation, Dr Konrat will provide a comprehensive overview of the potential complications specific to Revision Labiaplasty. Every woman heals differently, and no surgical result can be guaranteed.
Australian Medical Regulations
To protect patient safety, Australian law requires a mandatory seven-day cooling-off period between your second consultation and the date of your surgery.
Consultation Process & Surgical Costs
Factors Influencing the Cost

What Can I Expect After Mons Pubis Liposuction?
Every patient’s anatomy and healing history are unique. The clinical goal of mons pubis liposuction is to address localised adipose tissue and the anatomical profile using precise surgical techniques.
Clinical Objectives:
Reduction of localised fullness in the pubic area.
Restoration of anatomical proportion with the surrounding abdominal area.
Improved physical comfort during movement and exercise by reducing tissue heaviness.
Discreet management of access sites to favour optimal healing.
A focus on protecting underlying nerve sensation.
Healing Takes Time
Liposuction is a major surgical procedure that requires a dedicated recovery programme. Swelling, firmness, and mild bruising are normal clinical expectations in the early weeks. Because the mons pubis is a gravity-dependent area, internal fluid can take longer to settle. Most patients observe the initial change in shape by three months, while final clinical results are typically assessed closer to six months.
About Scars
All surgery involves incisions that result in permanent scars. Dr Konrat uses fine-gauge cannulas and gentle tissue handling to ensure entry points are as discreet as possible. While these marks do not disappear completely, they typically mature into fine, soft lines over 6–12 months.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Liposuction is designed to remove fat volume; it is not a treatment for significant skin laxity. During your consultation, Dr Konrat will:
Perform a physical assessment to determine the appropriate clinical approach for your anatomy.
Show educational before-and-after photos from similar liposuction cases.
Discuss the surgical factors that influence your specific healing and final appearance.
