Due to the privacy of the genital area, patients generally prefer female plastic surgeons. Genital aesthetic surgeries can be divided into two as internal and external. Congenital or acquired structural deformity may occur in both regions. Deformity in the genital area can make the woman feel uncomfortable during sexual intercourse. This may affect the psychosocial state of the woman.
Inner lip (labia minor) and outer lip (labia major) correction surgeries are applied to the outer region. Vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening) and hymenoplasty (hymen repair) surgeries are applied to the inner region.
The most common aesthetic intervention to the external genitalia is inner lip aesthetics. The inner lips may be wider or asymmetrical than they should be. When the legs are closed, the inner lips should not be visible. The protruding inner lips may become thicker due to friction. Wide inner lips can be seen from the outside when wearing a bikini or tights. Apart from appearance, too large inner lips can cause pain during sexual intercourse and sports activities such as cycling.
The surgery takes 30-45 minutes. You can return to work 2 days after the operation. The volume of the outer lips decreases with age. A younger look can be achieved by injecting oil into the outer lips with the procedure called Barbie aesthetics. labia major aesthetics can also be performed in addition to other procedures.
Vaginoplasty
It is popularly known as vaginal tightening. Generally, there is an enlargement of the vagina after childbirth and with age. Insufficient grasp of the vagina during sexual intercourse may cause incompatibility with the partner. The surgery takes about 1 hour. Stitches remain inside the vagina. Excess vaginal tissue is removed and the muscles are tightened. No stitches are required after vaginoplasty. The tampon inserted in the surgery is removed the next day. Bleeding may occur for 1-2 days. After the operation, it is necessary to wait 6 weeks before having sexual intercourse. According to the patient’s needs, aesthetic intervention can be performed on the external genital area at the same time.
Hymenoplasty
It is popularly known as hymen repair. The hymen is the perforated piece of skin located at the entrance of the vagina between the inner lips (labia minor). It is usually damaged during sexual intercourse and causes some bleeding. This structure, which symbolizes virginity in many cultures, is also an element of value for women in our country. Hymen repair is not understood by the person you have intercourse with, but is understood during the examination of the specialist physician. Hymen repair performed within a week of first intercourse works best. Existing hymen remains can be sutured. But even after a long time, repair is possible. Late hymen repair is a slightly more troublesome operation for the patient. The patient may need to rest for 2 days. Both surgeries can be performed under local anesthesia. Hymen repair takes about half an hour. You can have intercourse 3-4 days after the operation.
