Pubic Lift

During the procedure, Dr. Diaz ensures patient comfort and safety by performing the pubic lift under general anesthesia. In some cases, local anesthesia may be used. The surgery typically lasts around 2 hours, depending on complexity and the amount of skin removal required. If combined with liposuction, Dr. Diaz performs the liposuction of the mons first. Prior to the surgery, the new scar location is marked together with the patient in the pre-op area, taking into consideration their preferred underwear or bikini bottom to help hide the incision.

Dr. Diaz lifts the skin and fat off the abdominal wall, pulls up the mons tissues, and secures the deep tissues with sutures. Attention to detail is paramount to achieve a natural-looking contour and a thin, nearly invisible low scar. The goal is to create the best possible result without any bunching, irregularities or step-offs. Dr. Diaz takes great pride in meticulous attention to every step of this surgery, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients.

Dr. Diaz performs the pubic lift procedure to enhance the appearance of the mons area. This surgery, often combined with an abdominoplasty, involves making a low curved incision to lift the tissues under the hair-bearing part of the mons and remove excess skin. The pubic lift can also be done as part of a scar revision, using either the patient’s existing incision or a new one.

Dr. Diaz has developed a gentle technique that ensures minimal pain and speedy recovery for the Pubic Lift procedure. After undergoing a Pubic Lift, patients can expect a tightness in the mons area without significant discomfort. In the rare case of any discomfort, Tylenol is usually sufficient. Dr. Diaz may prescribe a few pain pills, although they are often unnecessary. It is generally recommended to rely on Tylenol rather than prescription medication to avoid potential side effects such as constipation and bloating.

Swelling is a common occurrence after a Pubic Lift due to the gravity-dependent nature of the mons area. This swelling typically lasts for a few weeks, and it may take a few months to see the final results of the procedure. For support, patients will wear a compression garment for 6-8 weeks following surgery, which will be specifically measured and provided by Dr. Diaz. Most patients experience a near-full recovery within one week after the surgery, with physical activity restrictions lasting four to six weeks depending on the extent of the procedure. In some cases, a drain may be placed during surgery, but it is usually removed within the first few days.

The Pubic Lift procedure effectively results in a flatter and tighter mons pubis, leading to a reduced projection in clothing. Patients who previously experienced discomfort or self-consciousness due to clothing bulges in this area will find a significant improvement in their quality of life through this surgery.
