Genital Aesthetics

GENITAL AESTHETICS

Genital Aesthetics and Cosmetic Gynecology have recently become increasingly common in Türkiye and around the world. Genital aesthetic procedures clearly have a positive effect on women's lives, and patient satisfaction with the results is inevitable. Women can feel better and their self-confidence increases, because as a result they can achieve the aesthetic appearance they want and their sex lives can become more trouble-free.

It is normal for a problem in any part of the genital area to cause embarrassment, stress, low sexual desire and self-confidence issues in women. In addition, many patients cannot comfortably express these problems and try to find a solution on their own. Thanks to a trust-based doctor–patient relationship, patients will be able to communicate more comfortably and express themselves better about these problems. Today, with advances in technology, surgical procedures are performed faster and more easily. Patients can return to their normal lives and work within a short time.

Surgical genital aesthetics improves the appearance of the genital area in women and at the same time resolves problems that have developed in the genital organs. Problems that frequently arise include vaginal laxity and widening after childbirth, wrinkling and sagging skin in the genital area, structural abnormalities of the genital area, darkening of the genital area, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence and genital warts.

What Are the Genital Aesthetic Procedures?

• Genital area lightening (Labial whitening / bleaching)
• Labiaplasty (Labial aesthetics – procedures on the labia majora and labia minora)
• Mons pubis (Augmentation of the upper vaginal area – the labial region)
• Vaginoplasty (Vaginal aesthetics – vaginal tightening procedures)
• Clitoral hoodoplasty (Clitoral hood reduction – removal of the skin layers over the clitoris)
• Perineoplasty (Aesthetics of the perineum [the area between the vagina and the anus])
• Puboplasty (Aesthetics of the pubic mound [lower groin area])
• Repair of unsightly scars and tear scars after childbirth
• Hymenoplasty (Temporary/permanent repair of the hymen)
• Laser vaginal renewal, rejuvenation and tightening (Laser vaginal rejuvenation)
• G-spot augmentation (G spot augmentation)

Genital aesthetic procedures include surgical operations and procedures performed with laser technology. The operations are usually performed by obstetrician-gynecologists who are skilled in aesthetic surgery techniques. Plastic surgeons also perform procedures in this field. An important point to remember is that surgery cannot be performed during menstruation; this is also one of the points to consider when scheduling the operation.

Many factors affect the success of the operation, such as surgical planning, the choice of doctor and the postoperative care process. It is worthwhile to fully understand what needs to be done after genital aesthetic procedures and to follow the recommendations completely. It is very important and necessary to take the medications prescribed by your doctor without interruption and, in particular, to keep the genital area clean as instructed. If these points are not followed, pain and a risk of infection may occur.

What Should You Pay Attention to After Genital Aesthetics?

• Pay attention to hygiene of the area, and clean the area with lukewarm water,
• Follow the prescribed medication treatment,
• Do not swim in the sea or a pool for about 6 weeks after the procedure,
• Protect the genital area from possible impacts, and take a break from riding bicycles and motorcycles,
• Wait 3 days after surgery before taking a shower,
• Abstain from sexual intercourse for about 6 weeks,
• Because dissolvable stitches are used during surgery, there is no need to have stitches removed, and no scarring is expected in the area.
