Labiaplasty

Genital Aesthetic Operations

Which operations are performed for genital aesthetics?

Genital aesthetics includes various surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance and function of the genital area.

These operations can often be related to an individual's aesthetic preferences or sexual health issues.

Some common operations performed for genital aesthetic purposes:

Labiaplasty (Labiaplasty or Labia Minora Aesthetics):

Labiaplasty means 'AESTHETICS OF THE INNER LIPS'.

It is called 'Labia Minora'. The labia minora are rich in vessels and nerves. Labiaplasty aims to correct the size or shape of the labia minora. This operation is performed to reduce or correct the size of the labia minora, which are usually longer than the labia minora.

Vaginoplasty (Vagina Aesthetics): Vaginoplasty is performed to tighten the inner part of the vagina and increase its tone. It can be preferred to correct enlarged vagina conditions associated with postpartum loosening or aging.

Mons Pubis Aesthetics: It is an aesthetic procedure performed to reduce or correct fat accumulation in the mons pubis area.

Clitoral Reduction: Clitoral reduction aims to correct the size of the clitoris area.

Pubic Liposuction: Liposuction application to reduce excess fat tissue in the pubic area.

Hymenoplasty (Hymen Repair): Hymenoplasty is performed to repair or reconstruct the hymen.

What is Labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the shape or size of the inner lips (labia minora) in the female genital area, usually for aesthetic reasons or sexual problems. Labiaplasty is also called vulvar aesthetics and is usually preferred when the labia minora are too large, asymmetrical or drooping.

Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is often preferred to alleviate women's aesthetic concerns about authenticity and self-confidence. However, each individual's needs are different and it is important that careful consideration is given before considering such an operation and that the procedure is performed by an expert obstetrician-gynecologist.

During labiaplasty, the inner labia are reduced to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance. This operation aims to correct disturbing images in the genital area of women, to eliminate aesthetic concerns or to provide solutions for individuals who experience discomfort during sexual activity.

methods such as delamination are used.

However, it is at the discretion of the physician to decide which operation is suitable for whom and after a detailed physical examination, a final decision is made about which method is better for which patient.

What are the complications that may develop after labiaplasty?

Infection As with any surgical intervention, labiaplasty carries the risk of infection. Therefore, hygiene and antisepsis rules and the surgeon's recommendations should be followed after the operation.

Hematoma and Seroma: Blood accumulation (hematoma) or fluid accumulation (seroma) may occur at the operation site. These conditions usually require drainage or intervention.

Excessive Bleeding: Excessive bleeding may occur during or after the operation. This may require emergency intervention.

Loss of Sensation: Loss of sensation in the labia minora may rarely occur as a result of surgical intervention.

Asymmetry: Asymmetry may occur in the labia minora as a result of not achieving the desired aesthetic appearance.

Pain and Discomfort: Post-operative pain and discomfort is common, but usually improves with time.

Scars: Scars can occur after any surgical intervention. However, the skill of the surgeon and adherence to the healing process can affect the appearance of scars.

Discomfort during sexual intercourse: After the operation, discomfort may be felt during sexual intercourse. This situation usually improves during the healing process.

Each individual's healing process is different and the risk of complications varies from person to person.

How long does it take to fully recover after labiaplasty?

Full recovery time after labiaplasty can vary from person to person and depends on a number of factors, so it is difficult to give a general time frame. However, generally, full recovery after labiaplasty can take anywhere from one week to one month. Factors that may affect the recovery time include

Scope of Surgical Intervention: Since the scope of the labiaplasty operation may include not only the reduction of the labia minora (labia minora), but also vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty) or other procedures, an increase in the number of procedures may affect the recovery time.

Health Status: The overall health of the individual can affect the healing process. A healthy individual can usually recover faster.

Personal Recovery Speed: Every individual's body structure and healing speed is different. One person may recover faster or slower than another.

The healing process usually goes through the following stages:

- First Week: There may be swelling, bruising and mild pain. Rest and cold compresses are usually recommended in the first few days.

- First few weeks: Swelling and bruising gradually decrease. Care instructions recommended by your doctor should be followed to help the healing process.

- First few months: Full recovery continues. Return to sexual activity and heavy exercise is usually determined by your doctor's recommendations.
