Mons Pubis Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction under local anaesthetic in Bondi Junction
Last updated:
Dr Georgina Konrat performs mons pubis liposuction at her Bondi Junction practice. The procedure uses the tumescent technique to reduce fatty tissue in the mons pubis. The anaesthetic plan is determined individually.
What Is Mons Pubis Liposuction?
Mons pubis liposuction is a fat-reduction procedure that removes fatty tissue from the mons pubis, the soft pad of tissue above the pubic bone, through small incisions using the tumescent technique. Skin is not removed; the procedure addresses fatty tissue only. At Labiaplasty Sydney, Dr Georgina Konrat (MBBS, FACCSM) commonly performs it with local anaesthetic and sedation. It may be combined with labiaplasty when the individual assessment and procedure plan support this. All surgical procedures carry risks.
The mons pubis can become fuller due to genetics, weight changes, hormonal shifts or ageing. Some people report chafing or difficulty with certain clothing. A clinical assessment is needed to distinguish fatty tissue from skin laxity and to discuss whether any procedure is appropriate.
The Tumescent Technique
For a procedure performed with tumescent local anaesthesia, Dr Konrat injects a dilute solution of local anaesthetic and adrenaline into the mons pubis.
The solution is intended to numb the treatment area and constrict blood vessels. Individual comfort and response vary, and discomfort should be reported to the clinical team.
Fat is then suctioned through small cannulas inserted via small incisions. Incision placement and the amount treated depend on the individual plan.
The anaesthetic plan is discussed during consultation and depends on the patient, the planned procedure and the clinical setting.
Who May Be a Candidate
This procedure is for patients with a localised fatty deposit in the mons pubis that hasn't responded to diet or exercise. The fullness may be causing discomfort during activity, making clothing fit poorly, or creating hygiene issues.
It is not a weight loss treatment. Patients should be at or close to a stable weight.
If there is significant loose skin in the area, liposuction alone may not be enough — it removes fat, not skin. Dr Konrat will assess your anatomy at consultation and let you know what a realistic outcome looks like for you.
What to Expect on the Day
You arrive at our Bondi Junction practice, change into a gown, and the treatment area is marked. The tumescent solution is injected and given a short time to take full effect.
Dr Konrat then performs the liposuction through small incisions using fine cannulas. Patients may feel pressure or movement; comfort varies and the clinical team can assess any discomfort. The procedure usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the individual plan.
Afterwards, a compression garment is applied and you rest briefly before going home the same day. You will need someone to drive you.
Recovery and Aftercare
You will wear a compression garment for roughly two to four weeks. Dr Konrat will tell you the exact duration based on your case.
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal. They tend to peak in the first week and then settle gradually. Some tumescent fluid may drain from the incision sites for the first day or two — this is expected.
Time away from work and return to exercise vary. Dr Konrat provides individual guidance based on the procedure and healing. Swelling may take several months to settle.
Follow-up appointments are booked to check how you are healing.
Risks and Complications
Like any surgical procedure, mons pubis liposuction carries risks. These include bleeding, infection, bruising, prolonged swelling, seroma (fluid collection), uneven results, numbness or changed sensation, and scarring at the incision sites.
Occasionally a second procedure is needed if residual fat remains or the result is uneven once healing is complete.
Dr Konrat goes through all relevant risks at your consultation. You will have time to ask questions and think it over before deciding to proceed.

The procedure
How it works
Consultation & Assessment
Dr Konrat assesses the treatment area, discusses your goals, and determines whether liposuction is appropriate.
Tumescent Anaesthesia
A dilute anaesthetic solution is injected to numb the area, reduce bleeding, and firm the tissue for removal.
Liposuction
Small cannulas are used through tiny incisions to gently remove excess fatty tissue in a controlled manner.
Recovery & Discharge
You rest in our recovery area before being discharged the same day with compression garment and aftercare instructions.
Recovery
What happens after
Recovery varies. These are general guidelines — Dr Konrat provides individual advice at follow-up.
Day 1–3
Rest at home. Wear the compression garment as directed. Bruising and swelling are expected.
Week 1 to 2
Return to work varies. Continue any compression garment and activity restrictions as directed.
Week 4 to 6
Activity may increase only as advised. The treatment area can continue to change as swelling settles.
Month 3 to 6
Tissue and swelling may continue to settle; the timing and appearance vary between patients.
Costs
Fees depend on how much treatment is needed. If mons pubis liposuction is done at the same time as labiaplasty, a combined price may apply.
You will receive a detailed fee estimate after your consultation. The consultation fee is $165, which covers the consultations required before any procedure, plus any further pre-surgery appointments. The surgical fee is separate.
Common questions
All surgical procedures carry risks including bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, and altered sensation. Individual results may vary. A 7-day cooling-off period applies before any procedure can be scheduled. A consultation is required to assess suitability.
