Genital Aesthetics, To Whom and Why?

Recently, the term genital aesthetics has been heard more frequently in the media or health centers. Surgical interventions in the female genital area , which dates back many years, especially in the Arab society, have developed over the years and genital aesthetic surgery has been detailed in parallel with aesthetic expectations.

Many operations such as Labioplasty , hudoplasty , labial augmentation , vaginal tightening, mons pubis liposuction , fat injection to major labias and vulva hypopigmentation , can be performed for aesthetic purposes.

These operations are performed at the expense of the patients themselves, outside the scope of health insurance, and the prices of genital aesthetic operations vary depending on the scope of the surgery performed.

Female genital area changes with age. In the aging vagina as the pelvic floor weakens, there is loss of tone and decreased firmness. This gives the woman a feeling of expansion in her vagina and both herself; It also causes a decrease in sexual sensitivity in the partner.

Mons pubis is the fatty area of the genital area, which we call the pubis may get enlarged due to rapid increase in fat accumulation as the women gains weight and sagging due to gravity .. Same sagging can be seen in the lips of vagina and major labias. . Over time, the labia minora tend to grow larger. Enlargement of the labia minora may occur not only due to age, but also as a result of chronic irritation due to sexual intercourse or masturbation, after childbirth, lymph stasis or skin dermatitis . But in addition to all these, it is certain that hereditary factors also cause exaggerated disorders or changes in genital anatomy . It is noteworthy to say that repeted wight gains and losses are also a cause for sagging labias and mons pubis.

All of these can be corrected in line with the patient's lifestyle, aesthetic concerns and dysfunctions, and can save the patient from the thought of accepting his fate. However, in such surgical interventions, surgical justifications must be based on a rational reason. Neither the surgeon nor the patient should be forced into the operation, and the decision for the operation should be prevented from being made by a single part.. The main reasons for genital plastic surgery should be:

Genital hypertrophy or marked disproportion
Friction of underwear and trousers, discomfort with sports activities and negative effects on sexual intercourse.
Genital changes due to trauma and the resulting deterioration of sexual sensitivity.

There is no specific prohibition for genital aesthetic operations. These surgeries, which can be performed on any suitable patient , should be prevented or restricted in the presence of other existing gynecological diseases, smoking, unrealistic expectations, sexual dysfunctions and those under the age of 18.

The fact that women today attach more importance to aesthetics and beauty than in the past is one of the main results of new technologies and the increase in the level of welfare.

The Reasons for Genital Aesthetics?

Genital aesthetics, in its most general definition, are genital area operations performed in cases where there is discomfort with the shape of the sexual organ or when the structure of the sexual organ negatively affects daily life. Genital aesthetic operations are used to solve problems related to the appearance of the outside of the vagina or the width of the vaginal canal. This can basically happen in two ways.

Functional Complaints

Problems such as having a large vagina or large lips are functional complaints . Problems in the union of the vagina and penis or the increase in the risk of irritation and infection due to large lips are functional problems.

Appearance Complaints

Generally, the main reason for appearance problems is sagging of the vaginal lips and vaginal lips being larger than necessary. To solve this problem, labiaplasty , which is a procedure performed on the lips, is used. The main task of the physician in labiaplasty is to make the vaginal lips tighter, smaller and more natural.

Who Needs Genital Aesthetics?

When you are not satisfied with the shape of your genital organ
When there is enlargement and deformity in the vaginal area due to birth
trauma and accident in the vaginal area
When there is congenital deformity or canal widths
In cases where the hymen is congenitally thick, closed, or not located correctly
Genital plastic surgery may be necessary when there is growth, sagging or deformities in the vaginal lips over time . Genital aesthetics are needed in women with such problems.

Genital Aesthetic Operations?

Vagina Rejuvenation (Renewal and Vaginal rejuvenation )

As the years pass and the woman ages, wear and tear occurs in the vagina. The reasons for this may be decreasing collagen tissue strength due to age , excessive weight gain or loss, the effects of aging on hormones or the effects of childbirth. The quality of sexual intercourse of couples decreases significantly due to the effect of vaginal tissue that has enlarged and lost its flexibility . With vaginal rejuvenation methods, couples can return to the sexual lives they want and enjoy. In vaginal rejuvenation methods, the anesthesia method varies according to the physician's decision and there is no obvious scar in these operations.

Vaginal rejuvenation can be done in 2 ways. These are laser vaginal tightening and surgical vaginal tightening. Let's examine these now.

Vagina Tightening Operation ( Vaginoplasty )

One of the issues that bother women the most is vaginal enlargement. The vagina naturally expands with age, pregnancy and vaginal birth. An enlarged vagina can negatively affect a woman's sexual life, increase the risk of infection and cause complaints such as gas. To solve such problems, vaginoplasty , a genital aesthetic operation, is performed.

Causes of Vaginal Enlargement

Vaginoplasty is a surgical operation performed on the internal genital area. The gynecologist performs surgical tightening to prevent enlargements in the internal genital area. The aim of this surgical procedure is to permanently resolve the enlargement situation that occurs due to the weakening of the vaginal muscles. There may be many reasons for vaginal enlargement. Some of these are those:

Loss of elasticity in tissues due to aging may cause expansion.
Due to the difficulties experienced in the patient's birth, the vagina may have been worn out more than necessary and this may have caused a trauma .
Tears may occur during birth due to the size of the baby.
Even if a normal delivery decision is made for the patient's birth, switching to cesarean section during birth may cause dilatation.
The number of births of the patient is very important in expansion. Expansion is much greater in women who have given birth multiple times.
The vaginal area may have been exposed to trauma due to any accident.
Abortion increases the risk of enlargement
The patient's excessive weight gain and loss causes the vaginal muscles to loosen and sag.

Do I Need Anesthesia For The Genital Aesthetic Operations?

Genital aesthetic operations are generally performed using local anesthesia . In some cases, general anesthesia can be performed depending on the woman's special request or the physician's preference. In local anesthesia, only the genital area and its surroundings become numb, while in general anesthesia, the woman is asleep.

For the vaginoplasty surgery, epidural anesthesia is usually applied, in which the body is numbed from the waist down . In some cases, general anesthesia can be applied to prevent the patient from being affected psychologically. Excess tissue from the back wall of the vagina is removed to be used to narrow the vagina. By replacing the extra tissues removed with healthy tissues, the vagina is narrowed and its tone is increased. The stitches dissolve on their own in the future. Mild pain and bleeding are normal after the operation. This surgery usually takes about 1 hour and the patient is discharged on the same day.

What Should Be Considered After Vaginoplasty Surgery?

Things to consider after vaginoplasty surgery are:

The tampon placed inside the vagina should be removed by the physician 1 day after the operation.
After the first week, you can return to normal life, provided that you do not do heavy work.
You can shower the day after surgery
There is no need to remove stitches because the stitches dissolve.
Dressings should be applied and medications should be taken at the times recommended by the physician.
of infection in the vaginal area after urinating . Therefore, maximum attention should be paid to cleanliness.
Heavy exercises may cause negative effects such as tearing of stitches. Heavy exercises are not recommended for the first 1-2 months.
The sea and pool should not be entered for 4-6 weeks. Similarly, sexual intercourse is not recommended during this period.

Although these are general things to consider, each surgery is special. Therefore, you should definitely consult your doctor.

Are There Risks in Genital Aesthetics Operation?

There is always a risk in medical interventions, even if small. One of the interventions is surgical operations. Any mistakes made during the operation pose many risks. Genital aesthetic operations also have their own risks. Some of these risks include:

Bleeding

Bleeding is the most common risk in any surgical operation. In order to minimize bleeding, the operation must be performed properly by expert hands.

Infection

Infection is one of the most common risks, similar to bleeding. The risk of infection increases in any surgical intervention, especially in operating rooms where sterility is not fully ensured .

Intestinal (Rectum) Injury

The intestines are located very close to the genital organ. So much so that an operation performed on the intestine may damage the genital organ, or an operation performed on the genital organ may damage the intestine. When genital aesthetic surgery is performed by a specialist in the field, the risk of intestinal damage is very low.

Pain During Intercourse

Generally, this risk may occur if the narrowing of the vagina is excessive in the vaginal tightening operation. Again, this risk is quite low because the physicians performing this operation are experts in adjusting the stenosis.

Failure to Meet Expectations After Surgery

In some cases, the operation that the woman wants may not be fully realized. In these cases, the desired shape or function is usually achieved with a second operation. In order to be satisfied after the operation, you should explain to your doctor in detail what you expect from the surgery, and your doctor should explain to you in detail the limitations of the operation, if any, to what extent it can be performed, and what to expect from the result. Knowing mutual expectations and your doctor's plans will increase satisfaction after the procedure.

Although we talk about risks, genital aesthetic operations are generally low-risk operations. If you choose a physician who is expert and experienced in his field, it will be very unlikely that you will be affected by these risks.

Reduction of the Clitoris ( Clitoroplasty )

Clitoroplasty is the process of making the clitoris, which has a very important role in sexual pleasure, more prominent. The clitoris is one of the external genital organs and provides sexual pleasure. In some women, the parts of the clitoris that receive nervous stimulation remain buried under the skin and the woman experiences less sexual pleasure. Removing these upper skin pieces and giving the clitoris a more aesthetic appearance is called clitoroplasty . This aesthetic appearance is achieved without scarring. Clitoroplasty is generally performed together with labiaplasty operations. So much so that a labiaplasty surgery would be incomplete without clitoroplasty . Depending on the combination, an anesthesia method in which the entire area from the waist down is anesthetized is generally preferred.

Providing Inner and Outer Lip Aesthetics (Labioplasty )

Labioplasty ; These are surgeries performed to correct the bad appearance of the inner lips in the female sexual area, which are generally congenital and occur as a result of elongation, darkening, widening, sagging, irregularity or one lip being larger than the other. In these surgeries, a part of the inner lip is cut or corrected and reduced in size. In this way, the sexual organ regains its desired appearance. This is where its name comes from. In Latin , labiaplasty means correction of the labium (lip).

After Labioplasty Procedure

Labioplasty is not a very risky operation, but like all surgical operations, there is a risk of bleeding and infection.
Very rarely, spotting-like bleeding may occur.
Although the healing process varies from woman to woman, it usually does not take long.
Edema, redness and tenderness are normal in the first days.
The stitches will disappear on their own, so there is no need for medical intervention.

Repair of General Deformation in the Vagina

many deformations in the vagina due to congenital or acquired trauma . The treatment of these deformations and deformities can only be done by gynecologists who are experts in their field . Some of these deformations are:

Congenitally Large or Asymmetrical Vaginal Lips
Septums (Walls) Congenitally Found in the Vagina
Repair of Vaginal Tears
Repair of Urinary Bladder and Large Intestine Prolapse
Beautification of the Vagina

The anesthesia method to be chosen varies depending on the effect of the deformation and the size of the operation. Although there is generally no scar left, in some cases small scars may be observed.

Outer Lip Filling

Outer lip filling is performed to ensure that the outer lip of the vagina has a tighter, fuller and more natural appearance with the help of injection of various substances. In cases where the outer lip is sagging, labiaplasty is preferred if the sagging is excessive, while outer lip filling can be used if the sagging is low. Since there is generally no surgical intervention, outer lip filling is much less risky. There are two types of outer lip filling methods, depending on the filling material. These;

Acid Filler

In this method, cross-linked Hyaluronic acid is used. This acid is injected into the outer lip area. The main feature of hyaluronic acid is that it absorbs water. The absorbed water makes the outer lip look much fuller and tighter. The effect duration of the acid filling method is between 6 and 9 months, meaning it provides a temporary aesthetic appearance.

Fat Filling

In this method, oils taken from fatty parts of the body are used instead of acid. Fats taken especially from the abdomen and hip area are injected into the outer lip area. In this way, the desired fullness and vitality is achieved.

G Spot Application

The G spot is an area in the upper front area of the vagina where excitable cells are abundant. It is known that this area is very important in female orgasm and pleasure. The effect of the G spot, in its crudest terms, is as follows:

The woman begins to have sexual intercourse and stimulation occurs at the G-spot
With the effect of the stimulations received, the G spot enlarges and swells.
Due to the swelling, it starts to put pressure on the gland under the G spot.
A substance that is very important in sexual pleasure is secreted from the gland.

The G spot has a huge impact on sexual pleasure. For this reason, some women resort to G-spot application to spread this area over a larger area and stimulate it more. This process allows the G-spot to spread to a wider area and be more stimulated during sexual intercourse.

Perineal Body Filler

The perineal tissue, located behind the vaginal area, is torn and worn out due to birth or some trauma . The perineum has many functions. Supporting the genital organ muscles and increasing female sexual pleasure are some of these. Due to the traumas that occur, the perineum begins to fail to perform its functions fully. This reduces the woman's sexual pleasure. Perineal body filler allows the perineum to be repaired with various substances. There are 2 types of fillings:

Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Hyaluronic acid is also frequently used in perineal filling . This acid, which is produced naturally in the body, has tissue renewal and rejuvenation effects.

Fat Filling

Fat tissue taken from the person's fatty areas is injected into the perineal area. Provides fat tissue repair and fullness.
