What is a Pubic Lift?

The mons pubis is the soft, rounded mound of tissue overlying the pubic bone located right above the female genitalia. As women age, after childbirth or with weight gain or loss, this area can change, becoming enlarged or have redundant skin. Occasionally it can become enlarged so that the area appears more masculine, and protrudes through clothes. Many women are unhappy with this appearance and become dissatisfied with the way they look; making intimacy and sexual gratification that much harder to achieve.

What should I expect from the procedure?

Pubic Lift and Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, Dr. Cohen will mark the areas to be sculpted. During the procedure unwanted fat and skin will be removed to achieve the desired appearance. Because safety is always our first concern, we always work with board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure that your surgery is as safe as possible. Following your surgery, you will be able to rest in the comfort of your own home. Most patients are able to return to work within a week; most recover fully within six weeks.

Recovery & Aftercare:

After surgery, instructions will vary from patient to patient. For a sense of what you can expect after your surgery, see our post-operative instructions .

• Patients may experience minor discomfort and mild swelling
• Bed rest the day of surgery is recommended
• Return to work within a few days, depending upon your activity level
