Obese patients often have excess pubic skin after weight loss. A new monsplasty technique effectively corrects this deformity, offering stable, complication-free results in 21 cases.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Body Contouring
  • Post-Bariatric Surgery

Background:

  • Obesity leads to redundant skin in the suprapubic and subumbilical areas post-weight loss, causing discomfort.
  • Monsplasty is a key procedure in abdominoplasty and bodylift for aesthetic and functional improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an original technique for correcting pubic region deformities after significant weight loss.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this novel monsplasty approach.

Main Methods:

  • A specific marking technique was used, connecting points 5 cm lateral to the midline with a circular arc 7 cm from the vulvar fork.
  • Monsplasty involved three stitches between the Camper's fascia and the abdominal aponeurosis for pubic region tightening.
  • The procedure was integrated into lower abdominal contouring without additional surgical steps.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-one consecutive patients underwent the described monsplasty technique following lower trunk contouring.
  • No reoperations were needed for complications or aesthetic dissatisfaction; no under- or over-correction was observed.
  • The results demonstrated stability one year post-surgery, with no reported complications like edema, seroma, or sensory disturbance.

Conclusions:

  • The presented monsplasty technique is simple, rapid, and reproducible for various Pittsburgh classifications.
  • This effective method achieves favorable outcomes without complications and is recommended for simultaneous performance with abdominoplasty or bodylift procedures.
