One of the aesthetic concerns for both women and men is the genital area. Changes and structural distortions in the genital region can lead to not only an unpleasant appearance but also cause issues like insecurity, sexual inadequacy, pain during intercourse, frequent infections, lack of satisfaction, and embarrassment. Although many patients are aware of these issues, they often cannot express their concerns, search for solutions on their own, and experience significant stress due to their inability to communicate comfortably.
Today, procedures performed in genital aesthetics have become easy and effective, allowing patients to return to their work and social lives quickly. This has helped eliminate the taboo surrounding the topic and made it more openly discussed.
Aesthetic procedures in the genital area can be evaluated in several categories. Genital aesthetic surgeries are diverse and involve various types of procedures.
Some of the most common aesthetic surgeries in this field include: Labioplasty (genital lip aesthetic), surgical vaginal tightening (Vaginoplasty), perineoplasty (restructuring of the perineum), clitoral hoodoplasty (thinning of the clitoral hood), puboplasty (reduction of the pubic mound), labia major augmentation (enlargement of the labia majora using fat grafting or hyaluronic acid injections), labia major reduction, G-spot enlargement, Genital PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments, laser vaginal rejuvenation (LVR), laser genital whitening, and radiofrequency (RF) procedures for the genital area. These surgeries can be performed with either incisions or lasers. Labioplasty is one of the most well-known and desired procedures in genital aesthetics.
Labioplasty is a general term for aesthetic interventions performed on the labium (lips) of the external genital region. In medical terms, “labial asymmetry” refers to a condition where one side of the labia is longer or has a different appearance or structure compared to the other side. Surgical correction of these issues is called Labioplasty.
This condition can arise from genetic factors, frequent weight fluctuations, or age-related physical changes.
Vaginoplasty is performed when the vagina becomes enlarged due to factors like aging, normal childbirth, sexual activity, and surgical interventions. The most noticeable cause is the widening that occurs after childbirth. During pregnancy, weight gain and the stretching of muscles during delivery can lead to vaginal relaxation. In such cases, genital aesthetic procedures play a crucial role and provide solutions.
Another genital aesthetic procedure is clitoral hoodoplasty. The clitoris is a swelling located just above the urethra, at the upper junction of both labia. In some cases, the clitoris can be larger or more prominent than normal, which may be a congenital condition and can pose an aesthetic problem.
Another genital aesthetic surgery is hymenoplasty, also known as the restoration of the hymen. In this procedure, the hymen is temporarily repaired. Local anesthesia is typically used during the operation, and no hospital stay is required after the procedure. Patients can usually be discharged on the same day. The stitches used in the operation dissolve on their own. The procedure lasts about 20-25 minutes, and performing it closer to the time of sexual intercourse generally leads to more favorable results. Full recovery usually occurs within two weeks after the procedure.
