A monsplasty lifts and reduces the mons pubis, the soft tissue above the pubic bone, and it is very rarely the whole of an operation. It is usually performed with an abdominoplasty, because the incision is already there and the two areas have to be balanced against each other, or as part of body contouring after weight loss. The published references nearby are the American Society of Plastic Surgeons averages for a tummy tuck, $8,174, and for labiaplasty, $3,919, both surgeon fees excluding anesthesia and facility.

Why it travels with abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck lifts the abdomen and can leave the mons looking heavier by comparison if it is not addressed. Surgeons therefore quote the two together as a matter of course, and the incremental cost of adding a monsplasty to an abdominoplasty is far below what a standalone operation would be, because the anesthetic, the theatre and much of the access are already paid for.
Liposuction, excision, or both
Where the problem is volume, liposuction of the area may be enough and is a shorter procedure. Where there is skin laxity, skin has to be excised and the area lifted, which is the fuller operation. ASPS publishes a liposuction average of $4,711 as a surgeon fee, which is a rough anchor for the first version and not for the second. Which applies is decided on examination.
The absence of a published figure
ASPS publishes no average for monsplasty. This record reports that rather than filling it, and the practical consequence is that a written quote from a practice that has examined you is the only real evidence. Ask for it as a line on a combined quote wherever the operation is being done alongside something else, because that is how the arithmetic actually works.
Questions people ask about monsplasty
What does a monsplasty cost?
No national average is published. It is usually quoted as a line inside a larger operation, most often an abdominoplasty, for which the ASPS average is $8,174 as a surgeon fee.
Why is it done with a tummy tuck?
Because the incision is already there and the two areas have to balance. Adding it to an abdominoplasty costs far less than a standalone operation.
Can liposuction do it instead?
Where the problem is volume rather than loose skin, sometimes. That is decided on examination.
Is it ever covered by insurance?
As a cosmetic procedure, no. Where a panniculectomy is involved the funding question is different and belongs with your insurer.
