Targeted modeling of the mons pubis for a coherent overall appearance
Some women who desire a flat, youthful-looking abdomen find a more prominent appearance of the pubic mound bothersome. A gentle liposuction or an injection lipolysis procedure could reduce the volume and adjust the contour in such cases.
Some patients include the intimate area in their wish for a harmonious body shape. Some find the protrusion of the pubic mound — i.e., the transition between the lower abdomen and the vagina — disturbing. When wearing form-fitting clothing this can sometimes be noticeable and thus influence clothing choices.
The corresponding fat pads can sometimes resist dieting or targeted fitness training and are occasionally perceived as hindering certain sports or personal care. Going to the sauna or swimming pool can therefore be experienced as stressful. Some affected individuals also report reduced well-being in their partnership and a possible impairment of sexual experience.
For interested patients considering a change, Dr. Christoph Jethon at PraxisClinic Jadore offers individually tailored, gentle procedures. A liposuction or injection lipolysis — also known as the fat-dissolving injection — could contribute to a permanent reduction in volume and a new contour of the mons pubis.

As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Christoph Jethon has extensive experience in all aesthetic corrections of the female intimate area. If you decide on outpatient correction of your mons pubis at PraxisClinic Jadore, Dr. Jethon will accompany you from the first step to achieving your desired goal: a reduction in size and at the same time the remodelling of the pubic mound. With his pronounced aesthetic sense and his affinity for pleasing proportions, he creates a harmonious and coherent result that will give you an attractive body contour — and with it new physical confidence and self-assurance. At the same time, Dr. Jethon places great importance on ensuring that the treatment at PraxisClinic Jadore is as gentle as possible for you.
Effective methods for pubic mound reduction at PraxisClinic Jadore
To remove excess and troublesome fat in the area of the mons pubis and to remodel it at the same time, Dr. Christoph Jethon alternatively uses these two procedures:
- Liposuction
- "Fat-dissolving injection" (injection lipolysis)
However, neither method is suitable for weight loss; they are intended only for localized application.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a mature technique whose use is possible on almost all body areas thanks to modern devices and specially advanced cannulas. At the same time it is low-risk and also produces satisfactory long-term results. The incisions required to suction the fat are minimal in size, so the physical burden is low and the healing process is completed quickly. Dr. Christoph Jethon performs the liposuction while you are in a twilight sleep; the treatment lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and requires only a short outpatient stay at PraxisClinic Jadore.
Injection lipolysis
In the alternative procedure, commonly known as the "fat-dissolving injection" for reducing the mons pubis, Dr. Jethon injects phosphatidylcholine directly into the unwanted fat pads. After a few weeks, the treated fat cells dissolve on their own. Phosphatidylcholine is a natural substance and the main component of the human cell membrane; it is also contained in most anti-aging creams. The treatment lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and requires only a short outpatient stay at PraxisClinic Jadore.
Your personal consultation with Dr. Christoph Jethon for pubic mound modeling
If you plan to have a pubic mound reduction performed at PraxisClinic Jadore, your detailed consultation with Dr. Christoph Jethon forms the first step toward realizing your goal. In this meeting he gets to know you personally and learns about your wishes and expectations for this procedure. Dr. Jethon explains the possible options for correcting the mons pubis and what is not only sensible but also medically feasible. He will tell you which procedure he recommends in your case to achieve this goal as safely as possible; he will also inform you about the costs involved.
For your personal safety, an additional gynecological examination and, if necessary, a review of medical records will clarify all anatomical conditions — if these could be relevant for the treatment. Possible allergies to certain medications or care substances as well as the required anesthesia are also discussed to exclude all health risks as far as possible. Dr. Christoph Jethon will finally explain what you can do in advance to optimally prepare for this procedure.
How to optimally prepare for a pubic mound reduction
Even with an outpatient stay at PraxisClinic Jadore for mons pubis reduction by liposuction or injection lipolysis, the success of the treatment can be further secured in advance by observing a few measures, since small incisions or punctures in the tissue of the intimate area are necessary that should heal quickly and safely afterwards. Therefore Dr. Jethon advises observing the following notes from about 2 weeks before your scheduled appointment at PraxisClinic Jadore:
Diet for weight loss
If you intend to be on a diet at the time of your appointment at PraxisClinic Jadore, you should have completed it beforehand. This allows Dr. Jethon to best plan the reduction of the mons pubis and give its appearance the correct and aesthetically pleasing shape. Any subsequent weight loss will influence the result.
Tobacco and alcohol consumption
Smoking is known to increase the risk of circulatory disorders and also impairs wound healing — these two factors are relevant even for a minor procedure such as a pubic mound correction. Regular alcohol consumption also has a negative effect. Dr. Christoph Jethon advises you to stop or significantly reduce both at least 2 weeks before your treatment appointment.
Medication intake
Some common medications increase bleeding tendency — this includes aspirin and all products containing acetylsalicylic acid, e.g. also certain sleep aids. If you regularly take such medications, you should refrain from them about 2 weeks before your treatment appointment. Of course, this precaution does not apply to any medications prescribed by your doctor that are medically necessary; please inform Dr. Jethon about these during the consultation if applicable.
Intimate shaving shortly before the appointment
Shaving in the area of the mons pubis is not a medical measure, but it does facilitate the procedure, especially for liposuction. It is best to do this the day before, if it is not already part of your personal care routine.
Checklist for preparing for pubic mound correction:
- Complete diets or comparable measures to reduce weight
- Refrain from medications with blood-thinning effects and sleep aids
- Stop tobacco and alcohol consumption about two weeks before the clinic appointment
- Intimate shaving preferably no earlier than 24 hours before the treatment appointment
What is the procedure for a pubic mound reduction treatment?
Reduction of the mons pubis by liposuction or fat-dissolving injection requires — depending on the procedure — an outpatient stay between 30 and 120 minutes at PraxisClinic Jadore. It is best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Depending on the chosen procedure, the further course of the treatment then differs.
Pubic mound correction by liposuction
For effective and gentle removal of fat pads in the intimate area, Dr. Christoph Jethon uses the safe tumescent technique. For this, Dr. Christoph injects a tumescent solution into the local fatty tissue; this anesthetizes the skin area and also prepares the fat cells for suctioning. He uses special tissue-preserving vibration cannulas, which are inserted through a skin opening of only 5 mm. Through their own vibration they loosen the fat cells while sparing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue strands. By guiding the cannula precisely, Dr. Jethon works extremely accurately and thus perfectly models the shape of the mons pubis. The procedure takes about 60–90 minutes. After the anesthesia wears off you can leave PraxisClinic Jadore.
Checklist for liposuction:
- Local anesthesia, possibly with twilight sleep
- Duration of treatment: between 60–90 minutes
- Outpatient stay
Pubic mound correction by injection lipolysis
When using injection lipolysis (fat-dissolving injection), Dr. Jethon injects the lecithin phosphatidylcholine (PPC) with ultra-fine needles directly into the mons pubis region. This stimulates increased fat breakdown and the melting away of fat cells. Prior anesthesia is not necessary; upon your request you will receive a local anesthetic.
The treatment usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and, if necessary, should be repeated about 2–3 times at intervals of 8–10 weeks to successfully complete the therapy.
Checklist for injection lipolysis:
- Local anesthesia on request
- Duration of treatment: between 15–30 minutes
- Repeat treatments: 2–3 times
- Outpatient stay
Risks and side effects of pubic mound reduction
After pubic mound reduction, hematomas and swelling as well as redness and itching often occur as a result of the required punctures — these side effects are harmless and subside after a few days.
Your intimate area around the mons pubis is very sensitive in the first weeks; therefore you should refrain from sports or strenuous activities — also at work — in the following period, as well as from visiting tanning beds or a sauna. You should also refrain from sexual intercourse until sensation in this region has returned to normal.
Recovery after liposuction
After liposuction you will receive special compression garments to compress and stabilize the liposuction area. They also support the process of even retraction of the skin and tissue and should be worn for about 4 weeks. You will be presentable in social situations after at most one week.
Your intimate area around the mons pubis is very sensitive in the first weeks; therefore you should refrain from sports or strenuous activities — also at work — in the following 4–6 weeks, and also from visiting a tanning bed or sauna.
Checklist for recovery after liposuction:
- No sauna visits in the following 14 days
- Wear compression garments for about 4–6 weeks
- Presentable: after at most 1 week
- Able to work: after at most 1 week
- Pause sporting activities for the next 4 weeks
- No sexual intercourse for about 2 weeks
Recovery after injection lipolysis
Wearing a special compression garment is not necessary. You are immediately presentable in social situations. After each lipolysis treatment you should refrain from sauna and sports for 7 days.
Checklist for recovery after injection lipolysis:
- No need to wear compression garments
- Presentable: immediately
- Able to work: immediately
- Pause sporting activities for the next 7 days
- No sexual intercourse for about 7 days
Complementary correction of the outer or inner labia
In addition to pubic mound reduction, Dr. Christoph Jethon also performs a reduction of the inner labia as well as the tightening of the outer labia at PraxisClinic Jadore.
Complementary abdominoplasty
Pubic mound reduction can, if necessary, also be performed together with an abdominoplasty by Dr. Christoph Jethon at PraxisClinic Jadore.
What are the costs of pubic mound modeling?
