Refined Lower Contours
Pregnancy, changes in weight, aging, and genetics can all lead to extra fullness or loose skin in the mons pubis. For many of our clients, changes in this area can affect how their clothes fit, their body shape, and even their self-confidence.
Monsplasty is a body-contouring surgery that removes excess tissue to create a smoother, more even appearance between the lower abdomen and the pubic area. At Ikon Plastic Surgery, Dr. James Economides offers personalized monsplasty for patients in Chevy Chase, MD, and the Washington, D.C. area who want beautiful, natural-looking results.
Monsplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes extra skin and fat from the mons pubis, the soft area above the pubic bone. This will help give you a flatter, more balanced look by removing excess tissue and tightening the skin as needed.
Many will choose to get a monsplasty after pregnancy or major weight loss, while others may want it because they have a naturally fuller frame. Either way, this surgery can help both appearance and comfort by reducing that fullness.
A consultation with Dr. Economides at his Washington, D.C. area office is the best way to determine whether monsplasty is appropriate for your concerns. Ideal candidates include individuals who:

Your monsplasty will be done as an outpatient surgery with general anesthesia at our certified surgical center.
Once your plan is confirmed and the area has been marked, Dr. Economides will make small incisions to help reduce visible scars. He will remove any extra skin and fat, then shape the area for a smoother, more balanced look.
Monsplasty is often performed alongside other body-contouring surgeries to achieve more complete results and a balanced body shape. Dr. Economides can help make recommendations based on your goals.
A tummy tuck removes extra skin from the abdomen and repairs weak muscles. When combined with monsplasty, it helps create a smoother line from the abdomen to the pubic area for a more balanced look.
Many women add monsplasty to a Mommy Makeover to address changes after pregnancy. Combining procedures lets Dr. Economides improve several areas at once with a plan tailored to you.
Liposuction removes stubborn fat from the lower abdomen, hips, or sides. When done with monsplasty, it can further improve body shape and give a more sculpted look.
Recovery begins with protecting your incisions and allowing the treated tissues to heal. During the first several days, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness around the lower abdomen and mons pubis. Rest, take your prescribed medications as directed, and wear any recommended compression garments to help minimize swelling and support your healing tissues. Carefully follow all postoperative instructions provided by Dr. Economides.
Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the extent of their procedure and whether additional surgeries were performed. Continue avoiding heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and activities that place tension on your incisions. Attend your scheduled follow-up appointments so Dr. Economides can monitor your healing and answer any questions throughout your recovery.
As swelling continues to improve, you’ll become increasingly comfortable with normal daily activities, and your lower abdominal contour will become more defined. Higher-impact exercise and heavy lifting should only be resumed after receiving clearance from Dr. Economides to ensure your tissues have healed properly.
Your results continue to refine as residual swelling resolves and the tissues fully settle into their new position. While you’ll notice an immediate improvement in contour after surgery, your final results become increasingly apparent over the next 3 to 6 months, revealing a smoother, more balanced transition between the lower abdomen and pubic area.
The price of monsplasty in Chevy Chase, MD, and the Washington, D.C. area depends on how complex the surgery is, anesthesia fees, facility costs, and whether you have other procedures at the same time.
At your consultation, Dr. Economides will create a surgical plan tailored to your needs and provide a cost estimate. To schedule your monsplasty, call Ikon Plastic Surgery at (301) 800-7762.
