“…The advantage in anchoring the fascial-dermal suspension to the rectus fascia is that a long-lasting mons pubis lift is provided due to the strong structure of the dermis. 12 He is reporting on 132 patients having an abdominoplasty with mons pubis lifting. Patient satisfaction measured with a Likert scale questionnaire after a follow-up period of 12 to 38 months remained high.…”

Although an abundance of literature exists regarding frequently lifted body areas, there are few reports about body contouring of the mons pubis. Therefore, this paper describes the first clinical results from a new technique, which surgically lifts the mons pubis using superficial fascial system suspension. Fifty patients underwent a lower body lift, including a superficial fascial system suspension of the mons pubis. After a mean follow-up period of 16.9 months (range, 6-31 months), patients were evaluated by standardized preoperative and postoperative photographs using the Pittsburgh Rating Scale. In addition, all patients completed a Likert-type scale questionnaire pertaining to body satisfaction and other bodily changes. Scores from the Pittsburgh Rating Scale improved significantly (P=0.03) from 2.76 (0.43) [range, 1-3] preoperative to 0.5 (0.59) [range, 0-2] postoperative. Fifteen (30%) of the patients assessed the new contour as very good, 26 (52%) patients as good. Eight patients developed a temporary edema in the mons pubis and 1 patient developed an infected fascia suture granuloma, which had to be removed. A mons pubis lift with the aid of the superficial fascial system is a safe surgical technique, which can easily be integrated in body contouring surgeries of the torso.

“…We attempted to collapse the plane, prevent seroma formation, and confine fibrosis to ultimately determine the long-term relative position among different tissues. 9–14 Stan and Biggs 15 have recently mentioned placement of repositioning sutures in the cephalad portion of the breast gland, in cases of moderate ptosis.…”

“…1 Dual plane technique allows for better control of implant cover and position and consequently improves outcome. 2–4 However, in these cases, the interplay between soft-tissue characteristics and implant dynamics demands surgical adjustments. The surgical adjustments allow for optimal control and predictability while reducing surgical aggressiveness by minimizing mastopexy-related scars.…”

“…The plastic surgery literature contains an ongoing discussion of the types of plastic repairs to best handle ptosis of the mons after large amounts of weight loss [7], as well as cosmesis after repair of bladder extrophy [8]. It has also been noted that the mons is an excellent graft donor site for gynecologic surgery [9].…”
