What Is a Pubic Lift?

A pubic lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes loose, sagging skin from the mons pubis, the area just above the base of the penis. This surgery is designed to restore firmness and contour to the pubic region, particularly in men who have experienced significant weight loss or natural skin laxity with age.

By lifting and tightening the area, the pubic lift not only enhances the appearance of the lower abdomen but also helps reveal more of the penis and prevents it from appearing buried or retracted.

How It Works

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic in a CQC-regulated surgical facility. The surgeon makes a discreet incision in the natural fold where the lower abdomen meets the pubic area. Through this incision, excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted and re-anchored to a higher position.

This operation may also include:

• Fat pad reduction, to flatten the area
• Suspensory ligament release, if increased penile visibility is also a goal

Stitches are typically dissolvable, and a light compression garment may be worn during recovery to reduce swelling.

Benefits of a Pubic Lift

A pubic lift can provide a wide range of physical and psychological benefits, including:

• Increased penis visibility by lifting tissue that otherwise obscures the shaft
• Enhanced comfort during intimacy, physical activity, or when wearing fitted clothing
• A firmer, more contoured appearance to the lower abdomen and pubic region
• Improved hygiene and confidence, particularly for men post-weight loss

For many men, this procedure is a key part of achieving their desired body image after major transformation or to address long-standing concerns.
