A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction don't lift your pubic area. Your mons pubis may even be more noticeable after those procedures. Your healthcare provider may recommend getting a monsplasty at the same time as a tummy tuck or liposuction.
A tummy tuck doesn't include a pubic lift because it focuses on contouring the belly region, tightening the skin and muscles in your midsection. In some cases, the general trimming and contouring of your midsection can improve your pubic region's general appearance, though that isn't intentional.
Get Rid of a FUPA: Tummy Tuck
The definitive way to be completely rid of a FUPA, if you are done having kids, is a Tummy Tuck. During a Tummy Tuck procedure, I cut out the extra skin and fat that makes up the FUPA and I re-suspend that tissue on your abdominal wall.
Studies have shown that a tummy tuck can help SUI recovery. This is because the pelvic floor muscles are directly connected to the abdominal muscles, so by tightening those muscles through surgery, pressure is relieved from the pelvic floor and bladder.
Did you know that as little as five minutes of pelvic floor exercises a day can significantly reduce incontinence – or even make it go away? Once you get the hang of it, you can do them anywhere, at any time and it's never too late to get started.
Because your tummy tuck will result in some swelling around the site of the incision, it's completely normal for your upper pubic region to seem larger than normal immediately following your surgery. Try to be patient as your body heals and you anticipate your final results.
Another important reason why you have a FUPA after the tummy tuck procedure is mainly due to the swelling and bleeding that normally occur during the tummy tuck procedure. Please remember that whenever an incision is made, the existing fat is injured by the surgical dissection. This will result in swelling.
Since the incision from a tummy tuck will end up very close to the pubic hair, you may want to shave the area before surgery.
A FUPA looks like an extra layer of skin and fat just above the pubis. Some people have a larger mons pubis because of genetics. FUPA can also develop after weight loss or weight gain.
Your mons pubis is the mound of tissue in front of your pubic bones, usually covered in pubic hair. A monsplasty is a cosmetic procedure. It lifts, tightens and reshapes the structure of your mons pubis to change its appearance. It may also improve function and comfort. Another name for a monsplasty is a pubic lift.
If you meet all of the other qualifications and are in good overall health, you should qualify for a plus-size tummy tuck with a BMI of 35. Normally 40 is the maximum BMI tummy tuck threshold and patients may not be approved for the procedure.
Medicare only covers tummy tuck surgery if it is deemed as a medical necessity. Medicare does not cover elective cosmetic tummy tucks. Patients can get coverage under Medicare if it is deemed as a medical necessity by their GP. You need to have a valid medical referral and meet the strict criteria.
Abdominoplasty is designed to remove fat and tighten loose skin in the abdominal area, which can have a positive impact on the appearance of the mons pubis. However, if the pubic area is more than minimally saggy, a tummy tuck won't help enough.
During body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck, fat cells are eliminated from the body and cannot return. Because of this, patients may gain weight in other places like the buttocks, legs, arms, and breasts.
Wear compression garments: As part of your postoperative routine, you will be required to wear medical compression garments, specifically to reduce swelling and promote proper, efficient healing. It is critical that you wear your compression garments as directed, which may be 24/7 for several weeks.
Regular gentle exercise, such as walking can also help to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
To strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, sit comfortably and squeeze the muscles 10 to 15 times. Do not hold your breath or tighten your stomach, bottom or thigh muscles at the same time. When you get used to doing pelvic floor exercises, you can try holding each squeeze for a few seconds.
Another common problem is that your partner may feel the “bulge” of your prolapse during intercourse. It can feel strange, but since the walls of the vagina are mobile and flexible, likely, you will not experience pain during intercourse.
Studies have shown that yoga can also be an effective way to strengthen pelvic floor muscles without kegels. Kellogg Spadt recommends incorporating the Happy Baby, Child's Pose, Knees to Chest, Reclined Bound Angle and Seated One-Legged Bend, among others, to your routine.
