Ok, I officially don't know what the MONS are.

LOL Thanks for asking! I read the post regarding them and had no idea what they were talking about! I kinda got the idea it could be the folds of skin way down there but i didn't understand how they would gain weight and need plastic surgery. I was to embarrassed to ask!! I hope some one explains.

In human anatomy or in mammals in general, the mons pubis (Latin, pubic mound), also known as the mons veneris (Latin, mound of Venus) or simply the mons, is the soft mound of flesh present in women just above the genitals, raised above the surrounding area due to a pad of fat lying just beneath it which protects the pubic bone. It is anterior to the symphysis pubis.

The size of the mons pubis varies with the general level of body fat. After puberty it is normally covered with pubic hair.

In humans, the mons pubis divides into the labia majora (literally "larger lips") on either side of the furrow, known as the cleft of venus, that surrounds the clitoris, vaginal opening, and other structures of the vulva. The fatty tissue of the mons veneris is sensitive to estrogen, causing a distinct mound to form with the onset of puberty. This pushes the forward portion of the labia majora out and away from the pubic bone, and parallel to the ground (when standing).

Or pretty much what is behind the front part of a small bikini. Hope this helps. I know if I end up having a lower body lift after weight loss, I am gonna want them to help me out in this area too.

CMT-

Good description.

In less genteel words, it's the hair covered triangle of your private area you see when standing, looking in the mirror.

And in my world when I pick up my droopy tummy skin.

Often when a woman loses a bunch of weight and needs a panniculectomy (cutting off the skin) and Tummy Tuck (tightening up the muscle wall), she may very need to have the excess skin of her mons removed because it got fatty while she got heavy and it loses tone gets loose as she drops weight.

So yeah, I'm signing up for a mons lift with all the other plastic surgery I'm going to get next year....

since we are talking about this area, can someone tell me if down there was swollen after surgery? I just had surgery on Wednesday and I feel like my vagina (ugh I hate that word) or "lips" are swollen and tender...did this happen to anyone else or am I crazy??? LOL

:omg_smile:

No, mine didn't puff up. But, the size of those are controlled by blood, so while I would never have noticed personally (since I couldn't see my mons).. it could be from sitting a lot post-surgery or if you were given a blood thinner and your blood is really pooling or somethin..in the mons.. and voila.

Just a theory.

I'm hoping that once I get my TT it it will pull and tighten some of the excess skin around mine. Whatcha think?

[Daisalana 33]

I don't know.. for me, if I pull my belly skin away (I do this sometimes, as I know I will get a TT one day), it completely tightens my stomach and below my stomach.. but the mons, are like a fat ball. They don't move when I pull my stomach taught.

I may end up getting a mons lift too one day, but all depends on cost, because it doesn't bother me.. stomach does because people see it, but the only people who see my mons don't care!

fairy, MOST TTs cover a mons lift as well.
