Pubic mons correction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Shirin Milani / Dr. Veith Moser — Specialists in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (Austrian Medical Chamber)Last updated: 26.03.2026

Weight fluctuations, but also the natural aging process, can cause an aesthetic change in the pubic mound (“gel of Venus”, mons pubis). The volume may increase or the pubic mound may sink. Both are often unpleasant for those affected.

Pubic mons correction

A pubic mound correction can be carried out with a relatively simple treatment, which is usually carried out on an outpatient basis. This is done either with the help of liposuction or in the form of a pubic mound lift, which may be combined with a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck.

Operation duration: 30 minutes to 1.5 hours

Anesthesia: local anesthesia (possibly with twilight sleep) or short anesthesia
Hospital stay: outpatient or 1 night
Sport: after 2 weeks
Compression pants: 2 - 3 weeks
Inability to work: a few days

Before Surgery

  • For a period of approximately 14 days before the pubic mound correction, you should stop taking medications containing acetylsalicylic acid ( e.g. aspirin, ASS, etc.), as these impair blood clotting.
  • You should also avoid alcohol, Avoid cigarettes and sleeping pills as much as possible. Nicotine can also reduce blood flow to organs and delay wound healing. Therefore, avoid nicotine two weeks before the operation and also during the wound healing phase.

After Surgery

Sport: after 2 weeks

Surgery Highlights

The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis or in a day hospital, in rare cases on a short-term basis (1 night) with local anesthesia (possibly with twilight sleep) or even short anesthesia. First, larger amounts (around 500 ml to 1 liter) of a diluted local anesthetic solution (the so-called tumescent solution) are introduced into the subcutaneous fatty tissue. The fat cells are now sucked out through the same small skin incisions together with the introduced tumescent solution using special, thin channels (2 or 3 mm).

Possible Risks

Theoretically, any procedure can cause subsequent bleeding, wound infections or wound healing problems. However, due to the atraumatic surgical technique and the good tissue perfusion, this occurs very rarely. Any swelling and discoloration caused by bruising usually subside after two to three weeks. Even if complications arise - and these are treated by the doctor - Fortunately, they only delay healing minimally: it then only takes a few days longer.
