LARGE MONS PUBIS

HELP. i've a large pubic bone and fat mons pubis. if i wear bicycle pants or something a bit tight it doesnt look like a regular mound.it looks like i have b*lls. i think its because my pubic bone is high. and my mons is really plump and fat, not like a usual mound. others often make fun of me, they say i’m actually a man, that i’m not normal, that i’m disgusting, etc. and when i walk in a bikini or swimsuit in the beach or the swimming pool, i can feel people staring DOWN,once, there was even a group of girls and some boys actually giggling about it. its really uncomfortable. it looks really round, fat and it protrudes outwards. and i’m not overweight AT ALL, but that section is damn fat.i’m 18 and im not sexually active, im embarassed. what do you think should be done? surgery’s my last option..

I had the procedure 6 weeks ago - and zero regets.  Do keep in mind that mine was an extreme case.  I'm the person the surgeon is talking about when he says "I've seen much bigger than yours".  I had momnsplasty only, no tummy tuck, with about 2 kilos of fat removed.  Because mine was so large, lipo alone was not an option, I also had to get the excess droopy skin cut out.  The scar is about 20 cm long, almost hip to hip.  That's an unusually long scar, but like I said, mine was an unusually large mons.

Absolutely zero regret!  It's a big scar, so what.  I feel normal, I look normal and everything fits.  Clingy dresses, tight pants, swimsuits, bathing suits, cute panties, all of it.

I wish I'd done this 10 years ago.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I am 50 years old now, 5'8"
And 130lbs. I work out regularly to keep in shape but my large mound makes me very uncomfortable both physically in certain clothes, and emotionally I am obsessed with how ugly it is. I am fairly attractive except for this. I am considering a consult for the liposuction but haven't gotten the courage. My husband thinks I'm fine how I am but I can't stand to look in the mirror anymore. I was born this way it didn't get large over time. Certain clothes are just downright unbearable to wear. Spandex shorts or bikinis? Forget it. Even some underwear doesn't cover the front well. I am tired of it. If I have this procedure, I am doing it for me and no one else. In my mind I keep hearing this voice saying, "don't mess with nature" but I am tired of looking and feeling like a freak.

It's as if you are inside my brain.  This is exactly how I feel.  My husband thinks nothing of it, but he doesn't know what it feels like to be a woman having a jiggly fat appendage that doesn't belong there.  I'm 50, 5 foot 3 and about 125 pounds.  My self esteem is non existent and I put off going to the store as long as possible.  I had lips about 2 years ago.  The doctor looked at me like I was a mutant.  The procedure was horrid as he refused to give me general anesthesia. well 2 years later it's back as if I never had the procedure.  I'm trying to find any type of panty that might support that area but I can only find full compression panties and you can't go around wearing those everyday.  I'm finding it very hard to dress and very hard to muster up any self confidence.  Basically I feel like this is ruining my life.  :'(
Try lipodisolve injections (less invasive and much less cost than liposuction), I had 4 injections and it reduced by about 50% and I now live a fairly normal life - hope this helps  :o)

I've agree with what a lot women have said on this thread.  There's no call for shame or self-loathing.  Having a less attractive body part than we would like hardly makes us awful people.   That said, I suspect that some commenters may not quite understand the difference between "rocking a generous kitty", and walking around with pad of fat in front bigger than your butt-cheeks.  Or as one poster put, "big enough to grab hold of with both hands wave around."

A plump mound is cute.  Walking about looking like you've a watermelon jammed down the front of your pants is not.  Especially if it bounces up and down when you walk, or means you can't cross your legs or sit with your knees together because of the volume of fat between you thighs.

I've had enough.  I'm having a mons reduction in 2 weeks.  I had a tough time finding a surgeon. Many were willing to do a tummy tuck, or address mons fullness as part of a tummy tuck.  However my tummy is relatively flat, and i don't want a tummy tuck.  eventually, I found someone, and I'm thrilled about that.

The surgeon will use a combination of lipo and resection (cutting and removing excess skin and fat) on my mons and labia.  Cost is about $3000 CDN.  The surgeon told me this is really common, he does it all the time, and he prefers to lipo as much as possible, and saves the cutting for the times when the skin has been stretched out, or if the mons hangs or droops.

Mine, in addition to being about the size of a small watermellon, also hangs a few inches down my thighs.  Lipo alone is not an option for me.

I get how upsetting this is for a lot of girls and women.  

What I want to say to most women is:  what you're looking at is probably normal and healthy.  You're beautiful! Rock that generous kitty and don't be ashamed or shy.  

What I want to say to the others, who have something that upsets them and makes life difficult is: liposuction will is relatively inexpensive.  I was shocked to learn it was in the 2-3 thousand dollar range.  It takes about 1/2 an hour to do, and you can be back at work in as little as three days. You're beautiful!  Don't be shy about talking to a surgeon about this.  They do it all the time and have seen much larger ones than yours.

To those of us who may actually be "the much larger one" that the surgeon is talking about:  Don't be ashamed!  You're beautiful.  And you deserve to take steps to get this sorted if it bothers you. You might be looking at more than $3k, true.  But most surgeons offer financing.

I'll pop back after my surgery in a few weeks and say if it was worth it and if I'd do it over.

Good for you... hope it all worked out well.  

I had a larger than normal but not as large as yours.  I had lipodisolve injections which is less invasive and less cost than liposuction which works for smaller kitties (love this wording), I had 4 injections and it reduced by about 50% and I now live a fairly normal life - thinking of going back for another 1-2 now after 7 years or so

Honey, I am a seventy three year old woman and   have had a large pubic mons my entire life and believe me when I say I have never had a problem getting and keeping a man. Most men could care less as long as they have a woman that loves and cares about them. Do not let this keep you from finding a good man and having a life!
