Monsplasty in Rockford, IL
Monsplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce and tighten the mons pubis — the soft, fatty area located above the pubic bone and below the lower abdomen. Enlargement or sagging in this region can result from aging, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, or previous surgeries. For some women, excess volume in the mons area may be noticeable in fitted clothing or cause discomfort. Monsplasty is performed to remove redundant fat and skin, helping women achieve a flatter and more proportionate lower abdominal and pubic contour.
Dr. Pedro Rodriguez, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers monsplasty in a safe setting using well-established techniques that address both cosmetic and anatomical goals.

Benefits of Monsplasty
Monsplasty may help women enhance the contour and profile of the lower abdomen and pubic area. Benefits of this procedure include:
- Reduction of excess fat and skin from the mons pubis
- Improved symmetry between the lower abdomen and pubic region
- May enhance comfort when wearing fitted pants, swimsuits, or undergarments
- Can be combined with abdominoplasty or other body contouring procedures for comprehensive reshaping
While individual outcomes vary, monsplasty is a focused procedure that addresses specific soft tissue changes in the pubic area.
Candidates for Monsplasty
Ideal candidates are individuals who are in good general health, maintain a stable body weight, and have localized fullness or sagging in the mons pubis. Monsplasty is often considered following significant weight loss, post-pregnancy changes, or separate abdominal surgery. A consultation with Dr. Rodriguez is necessary to determine whether monsplasty alone or in combination with other procedures is the best approach.
Monsplasty Procedure Details
Monsplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and whether it is combined with other surgeries. Dr. Rodriguez begins by making a small incision, usually hidden within natural folds or just above the pubic area. Excess fat may be removed with liposuction, direct excision, or a combination of both. Skin redundancy is addressed through excision, and underlying tissues may be tightened as needed.
The incision is closed with layered sutures to support proper healing and minimize tension on the skin. The procedure generally takes one to two hours when performed on its own.
Monsplasty Recovery and Results
Most patients return home the same day with detailed post-operative instructions. Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected in the first week, but can typically be managed with prescribed medications and supportive garments. Patients can usually resume light activities within a few days and return to more strenuous activity within two to three weeks, depending on healing progress.
Initial results are noticeable once swelling subsides, with final results becoming visible within a few months. Dr. Rodriguez monitors recovery through scheduled follow-up visits and provides guidance on incision care and activity modifications during healing.
