What Is Monsplasty?
Monsplasty, also called a pubic lift or pubic area contouring, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the mons pubis, the rounded, fatty area above the pubic bone, to soften the appearance of excess fatty tissue that creates a bulge on the mons pubis. Pubic and mons pubis changes can be challenging, difficult to manage, and cause embarrassment both in and out of clothing. These changes can affect those with normal to heavier weight, and because the area is so resistant to weight loss and exercise, the prominence may be more visible as weight drops. Many women note that a prominent mons area (the area of fat pad over the pubic bone above the labia) is difficult to hide when enlarged and affects everything from undergarments to swimwear to dresses and pants.
Dr. Rudderman understands the depth of vulnerability it takes to seek out plastic surgery for your most intimate areas. He treats every patient with the sensitivity, respect, and dignity they deserve.
Monsplasty surgery is designed to:
- Reduce excess fat and tissue for a flatter, more contoured mons pubis
- Create a more proportionate, balanced lower abdomen and pubic area
- Improve clothing fit, particularly in fitted pants, swimwear, and activewear
- Eliminate discomfort or irritation caused by excess tissue
- Restore a youthful, smooth contour following pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss
What Concerns Does a Monsplasty Address?
Women seeking a pubic lift often share many of the same concerns, including:
- Bulging pubic area that shows through clothing, bathing suits, etc.
- Pubic area shape has changed since pregnancy or a weight change
- Your lower abdomen and pubic area sags
- The age-related changes to your pubic mons are embarrassing
- The pubic area feels too full or impacts your genital area look and function
- Pubic area prominence feels unfeminine
Safe, predictable treatment options do exist, and you deserve to feel confident in your body all the time.

How Should I Prepare for Pubic Area Surgery in Atlanta and Alpharetta?
Preparing for your pubic lift surgery involves a few steps, but mostly, you should get excited about your upcoming transformation. In general, you should:
- Prioritize nutrition: It can be helpful to prepare balanced, nutritious meals or arrange for a meal delivery service. During recovery, getting optimal nutrition is essential to ensure your body has everything it needs to heal.
- Plan for help: You may need to arrange childcare, pet care, or help around the house during your immediate recovery. Plan for 3 to 4 days of help with children and household tasks.
- Medical review: Dr. Rudderman may recommend running routine medical tests to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery. These tests may include routine blood tests, an EKG, or a mammogram, depending on your age and medical history.
- Consider your medication: During your consultation, Dr. Rudderman will review your medications, vitamins, and supplements. You will need to discontinue anything that increases the risk of bleeding or bruising for 2 weeks before and after surgery, for example, ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, aspirin, fish oil, turmeric, garlic, ginseng, vitamin E, vitamin C, and any other anti-inflammatory medications. Our staff will speak with you and provide a more complete list to avoid prior to scheduling your surgery.
- Quit smoking: Nicotine use negatively impacts healing and can increase your risk of complications. Dr. Rudderman recommends that all patients discontinue nicotine use of any type at least 3 weeks prior to and after surgery to help ensure optimal outcomes and the best possible recovery.
- Focus on a healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the best things you can do to prepare for any surgery. Develop or continue a sustainable exercise routine that will support a stable weight, long-term health, and a higher probability of a smooth recovery.
- Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated is essential to your recovery. Drink plenty of water during the days leading up to your surgery to support recovery.
- Get excited: Your pubic area surgery is an investment in your quality of life. Get excited about who you will be, what you will wear, and what you will get to do with confidence once you have fully recovered. Reclaiming your body and self-confidence is always something to be proud of.

Additionally, Dr. Rudderman takes pride in performing every single aspect of your surgery himself. As you go into surgery, you can feel confident knowing you are being cared for by the most qualified professionals available at every step of the process.
- Day of Surgery Prep: On the day of your surgery, you will arrive at the surgical center and meet with Dr. Rudderman to review your treatment plan and ask any last-minute questions you may have. He will then mark your pubic area for surgery, and you will meet with a board-certified anesthesiologist.
- Incisions: When you are sedated and prepped in the surgical suite, Dr. Rudderman will make a small incision along the pubic area, placed to be easily hidden by underwear or a swimsuit.
- Tissue Removal: Dr. Rudderman will surgically remove excess skin and fat pad from the mons pubis, and often use liposuction to complement the removal of the excess tissue.
- Closing your incisions: After surgery is complete, Dr. Rudderman will close your incisions with sutures and apply a light surgical dressing to protect your incisions. Dr. Rudderman’s delicate approach to tissue care and suturing helps promote optimal healing of your tissue and incisions.
Most monsplasty procedures take 1 to 2 hours and are performed on an outpatient basis. The operation and artistry involved in body contouring procedures are specific to each woman. During your consultation, you will receive extensive education regarding your anatomy, your concerns, your options, your risks and benefits, and your probable outcome. The goal of every procedure is a safe surgery, excellent appearance, normal anatomic redistribution, and an outcome that lasts for years and ages appropriately.
What Should I Expect After Monsplasty Surgery in Atlanta?
Immediately after surgery, you will be wearing a surgical dressing to protect your incisions. As you will have been put under anesthesia, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours, and bring you in the day after surgery for your post-operative visit. Follow-up appointments are essential to ensure you’re healing as expected and are satisfied with your natural, age-appropriate results.
In general, you can expect the following during your Atlanta pubic lift recovery:
Physical recovery:
- You can expect mild swelling and some discomfort. Dr. Rudderman will prescribe pain medication, but this should resolve on its own. After 24 to 48 hours, you should be able to manage discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen.
- Swelling is generally mild and resolves on its own in 2 to 3 weeks.
- Sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed.
- You will have brown paper tape on the incisions to protect the area and help with minimal scar formation.
- A drain is occasionally placed and typically removed in 1-4 days.
Return to normal activities:
- Most patients can return to desk work within 2 days. If your job requires physical activity, you may need to take more time off or request modified duties while you recover.
- Women with children can often return to full childcare within reason in 2 days, including carpool and driving.
- Avoid strenuous activity for 4 weeks or until Dr. Rudderman has cleared you to do so. Most clients may begin more aggressive physical activity in 4 weeks, including yoga, tennis, swimming, boot camp, or Pilates. We will help guide your return to activity at each post-operative visit.
Post-Surgical Follow-up Visits:
- Regular follow-up appointments will generally be scheduled for:
- 1 week post-op
- 2 weeks later (3 weeks post-op)
- 1 month later (7-8 weeks post-op)

Atlanta Monsplasty FAQs
Does Dr. Rudderman perform the entire pubic area surgery himself?
Yes, he performs the entirety of all his patients’ surgeries. Many surgeons use assistants to suture or perform part of the operations. Dr. Rudderman performs the entire operation on every patient. Additionally, the surgical center Dr. Rudderman operates at is not a teaching hospital, meaning there will not be any additional people in the OR observing your surgery. Dr. Rudderman takes your vulnerability and trust very seriously.
How long before I can exercise after pubic area surgery?
You will need to avoid all rigorous, aerobic, and strenuous activities for a few weeks until healing is adequate and Dr. Rudderman tells you it’s okay. Aerobic exercise increases your heart rate and blood pressure and can cause the operated area to swell, delaying your healing. We will see you frequently during your healing process to help you, and typically, you can return to begin your usual athletic activity in 4+ weeks, such as yoga, tennis, Pilates, or swimming. Exercise can be an important part of recovery, and we follow your recovery closely to help you reach your goals.
Will there be any pain with monsplasty surgery?
All surgeries involve some discomfort. Dr. Rudderman is highly skilled and uses advanced techniques and refined instruments that minimize discomfort during his surgical procedures. Many patients will take some pain medications for several days, and often can take Tylenol for relief in 1 to 2 days after surgery.
Will there be visible scars after surgery?
Incision scars are carefully placed to be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit and typically fade over time.
Can monsplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Monsplasty is often combined with other body contouring procedures, such as breast surgery, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a mommy makeover for a comprehensive transformation.
Will I need someone to take care of me after my surgery?
You will need a responsible adult to drive you to your surgery, stay there, and then drive you home and stay with you overnight after you have had surgery and anesthesia. We will advise you based on your operation as to how long you should request assistance, especially if you have small children or pets. Your follow-up visit will usually be within 24 hours, and you will need to have someone drive you to this appointment and back home.
Is financing available for monsplasty?
Yes. We offer financing plans through medical lending companies, making it easier to fit surgery into your budget.
Why choose a board-certified plastic surgeon for my monsplasty?
Board certification ensures your surgeon has advanced training, proven expertise, and meets the highest safety standards. An experienced surgeon brings both technical precision and artistic skill, ensuring results that look natural and balanced for years.
