Monsplasty in NYC is a surgical pubic lift procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin from the mons pubis, the fatty pad above the base of the penis. By reducing the volume of overlying tissue, monsplasty reveals previously buried penile length and produces a smoother, tighter pubic contour. At our Manhattan practice, board-certified surgeon Dr. Elliot Heller, MD, FACS, performs pubic lift as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. He has performed more than 10,000 male enhancement procedures since 1989. Most patients return to desk work within one week and see permanent results provided weight is maintained.
Pubic lift and pubic liposuction are popular and effective cosmetic procedures, which are used to remove excess fat and tissues from the pubic area. If you are a man with an enlarged pubic fat pad, getting a pubic lift is an ideal option to get rid of the extra fat. One big benefit of this surgical procedure for men is an increase in the apparent length of the penis. After the pubic area is free from excess fat and tightened, you will see an improvement in your appearance as well as in your confidence in and out of clothing.
Dr. Elliot Heller, MD, FACS, a board-certified surgeon, specializes in performing the pubic lift and pubic liposuction procedure. Let us discuss what this surgical procedure means, how it is done and how you can prepare for the treatment as well as what kind of results you can expect.
Also referred to as mons reduction surgery, monsplasty is a surgical procedure that is done to remove the extra fat and loose skin from the pubic region of a person. In this surgery, the surgeon uses the pubic lift to reduce the size of the enlarged pubic pad in the upper section of the penis.
The oversized fatty pad in the pubic area is known as mons pubis. This is how the surgical procedure got its name. The mons pubis increases in size as a person gets older or gains weight. Though many men turn to weight-loss strategies to get rid of the extra pubic pad, it doesn’t help much. Monsplasty or pubic lift is the ideal treatment that helps men get rid of the fatty pad.
“For men whose pubic fat pad has expanded and concealed the base of the penis, monsplasty is the most direct intervention. The procedure restores the visible portion of penile length without ever touching the penis itself. Many patients combine it with ligament release for additional length, or with fat grafting for girth, in a single operative session.”

The pubic area starts from the top of the pubic hair and extends up to the point where your male genitalia begins. Over time, the region collects deposits of fatty tissues and that is what we call mons pubis.
There are various reasons for the pubic area to bulge out. Men have an enlarged mons pubis when they gain weight or age. When you have excessive fat in the pubic region, the skin stretches to cover it. As the weight of a person increases, the size of the mons pubis also continues to increase. Even if you lose weight, the bulge does not go away and you have sagging skin and tissue in that area. In young people, the skin is elastic enough to restore to its position after weight loss. But older people simply can’t seem to get rid of the loose skin.
The mons pubis can enlarge or bulge out due to hormonal changes or it can run in families as a hereditary trait.
On the day of the surgery, you will be first given local anesthesia. Next, Dr. Heller will make some small incisions in the pubic region, from where the excess fat has to be removed. Through these incisions, the surgeon will then suck the fatty tissue using a cannula, a tiny metal device.
Pubic lift and pubic liposuction are procedures that require a great deal of expertise and precision. Having specialization in these procedures, Dr. Heller performs the entire procedure in an expert and skillful manner, so that there is no discomfort to the patient and the results are remarkable. If you choose to go for a tummy tuck and a pubic lift together, Dr. Heller can perform both using the same small incisions he makes at the start of the procedure. After the pubic lift is complete, you will find a smooth and tightened pubic area.
The entire pubic lift procedure takes an hour to complete. So, you can go back home immediately after the surgery.
Dr. Heller will monitor you till the effect of the sedation agent has gone away. After that, you can go home. Pubic lift and pubic liposuction are procedures with no real downtime and recovery is quite fast.
For the first few days, you will be advised to walk at a slow pace. Within a week of the surgery, you will be ready to attend the office. However, you will need to abstain from doing any strenuous activity or exercise for 2-3 weeks. Dr. Heller will prescribe some medication to minimize discomfort and expedite healing. Just remember to follow the instructions of the surgeon.
Monsplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia (often with sedation). Dr. Heller makes small incisions in the pubic region and removes the excess fat using a cannula, then tightens the overlying skin. The full procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Patients are discharged the same day with a responsible adult driver.
Monsplasty is appropriate for adult men in reasonable general health who have an enlarged mons pubis (pubic fat pad) that conceals the base of the penis or creates an unwanted contour. Common reasons for an enlarged mons pubis include weight gain, aging, hormonal change, or genetic predisposition. Patients with significant weight fluctuation should reach a stable weight before surgery. Candidacy is reviewed during a confidential consultation with Dr. Heller.
A standalone pubic liposuction procedure removes the excess fat but does not address loose skin. Monsplasty (pubic lift) combines liposuction with skin tightening, which is the better option for patients who have a combination of excess fat and lax tissue. Dr. Heller reviews skin elasticity at consultation and recommends the right procedure based on individual anatomy.
Pubic liposuction will result in a smooth pubic area with tightened skin. This will improve your appearance as well as your confidence level in and out of clothing. The results from the pubic liposuction can be permanent if you adhere to Dr. Heller’s instructions and guidelines. Most of all, you will need to stick to a healthy diet and maintain a consistent weight in the future.
As a result of weight gain, you will notice that your penis looks smaller. This happens due to excessive depositions of fat in the pubic area above the penis. In particular, the base of the penis gets buried in the fatty pad.
If you think that the enlarged mons pubis has concealed the base of the penis, you can discuss this with Dr. Heller. By combining a pubic lift with a male enhancement method, Dr. Heller can help you achieve excellent results. In fact, such procedures work quite well when done in conjunction. A monsplasty with a phalloplasty can increase the size of the flaccid penis by up to two inches. Along with a mons lift, Dr. Heller will also release the suspensory ligament, which keeps the penis buried inside the body. The combined procedures will increase the penile length.
Many men choose to get the fat removed from pubic liposuction reinjected into the penile shaft to increase both the length and girth of the penis. Consult with Dr. Heller to find out complete details.

Monsplasty (also called pubic lift, mons reduction surgery, or pubic dermolipectomy) is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin from the mons pubis, the fatty pad above the base of the penis. The result is a smoother, tighter pubic contour and visibly more penile length when the buried base of the penis is exposed.
The full procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Monsplasty is performed as an outpatient surgery under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients are discharged the same day.
Most patients return to desk work within one week. Walking is encouraged immediately. Strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks to allow incisions to heal. Final pubic contour stabilizes at 3 to 6 months as residual swelling resolves.
Yes, the fat cells removed during monsplasty do not regenerate. Provided the patient maintains a stable weight, the result is permanent. Significant weight gain after surgery can re-enlarge the mons pubis as the body deposits fat in remaining cells.
Pubic liposuction removes excess fat only. Monsplasty combines liposuction with skin tightening (lift component) and is appropriate when both fat and lax skin contribute to the bulge. Patients with predominantly excess fat and good skin elasticity may be candidates for liposuction alone.
Yes. Many patients combine monsplasty with ligament release surgery at the same operative session. The combined procedures expose buried penile length (from monsplasty) and release the suspensory ligament (from ligament release) for an additive length result. Some patients also combine with fat grafting for girth.
Pricing depends on whether monsplasty is performed alone or combined with another procedure. Confidential pricing is reviewed during consultation. Call 866-477-2023 to schedule.
Yes, when performed by a qualified surgeon. Monsplasty is a well-established cosmetic surgical procedure with a low risk profile. Standard surgical risks (temporary swelling, bruising, asymmetry) are reviewed during consultation. Phone: 866-477-2023.
