Mons Pubis Liposuction in Miami, FL
The mons pubis is a fat pad frequently overlooked in body-contouring plans, but ignoring it after a tummy tuck or Lipo 360 leaves a visible imbalance. This page covers isolated mons liposuction, when a mons lift (monsplasty) is needed instead, and how it pairs with adjacent procedures.
| Also called | FUPA liposuction, pubic lipo |
|---|---|
| Anesthesia | Tumescent local ± IV sedation |
| Duration | 30–60 minutes (isolated) |
| Volume removed | 100–300 mL |
| Typical Miami cost range | $2,500 – $4,500 isolated |
When lift is needed instead of lipo
If the mons hangs, if skin does not retract with a pinch test, or if a tummy tuck is planned with an overhanging pannus, add monsplasty. Ignoring loose mons skin during abdominoplasty produces a bulging silhouette even after a successful tummy tuck.
Pairing with other procedures
- Tummy tuck — near-universal pairing
- Lipo 360 or abdominal lipo — add-on for a balanced silhouette
- Labiaplasty — sometimes staged for privacy and healing
Anesthesia
Tumescent local alone for isolated cases; general anesthesia when combined with tummy tuck.

Frequently asked questions
- What is FUPA?
- FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area) is the fat pad over the mons pubis. It is a common concern after weight loss, pregnancy, or as a familial trait.
- Liposuction alone or lift (monsplasty)?
- Focal fat with elastic skin = liposuction alone. Loose, hanging skin over the mons = monsplasty (surgical excision), often combined with abdominoplasty.
- How much fat is removed?
- Typically 100–300 mL. The mons is a small area — precision beats volume.
- How much does it cost in Miami?
- Isolated mons liposuction is $2,500–$4,500. Added to a tummy tuck or abdominal lipo it is a $500–$1,500 add-on. Monsplasty adds $2,000–$4,000.
- Recovery?
- Return to desk work at 5–7 days. Sexual activity typically resumes at 4 weeks. Compression garment includes a pubic panel for 4–6 weeks.
- Risks?
- Contour irregularity is the most common complication. Sensory change is usually temporary. Infection risk is slightly higher because of the location.
