The female external genital organs include the hairy upper part under the belly button, called the mons pubis; labia majora (hairy); labia minora (hairless); clitoris; the upper joint of the labia minora, and the hymen, the thin membrane at the opening of the vagina. Some of these external anatomical structures may be found to be undeveloped, underdeveloped, asymmetrically developed, or overdeveloped in some young women. As the woman begins to get to know her own body, such differences in the genital area may cause problems for her. The bleeding caused by the tearing of the hymen during the first sexual intercourse does not occur in a congenital type of hymen, and such a condition may pose a problem for both the young woman and her husband. Therefore, a woman who reaches her sexual maturity period should get routinely examined to get to know her own external genital system, before starting her active sexual life.
Surgical Vaginal Tightening
In case of vaginal enlargement and related sexual problem, the vagina is tightened by a simple surgical operation. Under epidural or general anaesthesia, a longitudinal part is removed from the posterior wall of the vagina and the incision edges are sutured to each other, thus the excess part that causes looseness in the vagina could be removed. The operation takes approximately half an hour and no hospital stay is required.
Vaginal Tightening With Laser
Vaginal tightening procedure with Er:YAG laser can be performed without anaesthesia, pain, ache, incision or any surgical procedure in a short time, such as 20 minutes. Patients can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. Thanks to this technique, the laser delivered into the vaginal canal regenerates the collagen of the tissues and stimulates new collagen synthesis. Thus, collagen remodelling occurs and vaginal canal tightens approximately 20%. Tightening level of the vaginal canal and the level of patient satisfaction are high after the laser application.
Aesthetics of Inner and Outer Vaginal Lips (Labiaplasty)
One of the most common aesthetic problems of genitalia is the size of the outer and inner lips and sagging. The inner lips form the curved structures that extend from the upper part of the clitoris up to the lower part of the vaginal opening. Some women have slightly sticking out inner lips from the outer lips, this condition is accepted as normal. However, although the inner lips that hang longer than the outer lips does not cause an important medical problem, it affects aesthetic appearance and makes a woman seeking for a solution. Sometimes the outer lips may be structurally longer, larger than normal or asymmetrical. In such a case, the labia can be stretched by the push of penis during sexual intercourse and this may lead to pain. For all these reasons, labia can be reduced to their normal sizes thanks to the treatments and cosmetic surgeries (labiaplasty surgery). Asymmetry can be removed, if any. Labiaplasty operation can be performed on those who did not have delivery before. Moreover, performing the procedure on virgin girls does not cause a problem in terms of hymen. Labiaplasty surgery is also known as labia minora reduction and labial reduction surgery.
How is aesthetic surgery for inner and outer lips performed?
Labiaplasty procedure is performed under local or general anaesthesia in 30-40 minutes and since absorbable sutures are used, there is no suture removal problem. This procedure does not harm hymen and does not harm or prevent sexual intercourse, orgasm, pregnancy and delivery. No urination-related problem arises after the procedure, no excessive pain or burning occurs in the surgical area.
What should be taken care after Labiaplasty?
Wound healing is completed in a week. The patient can have sexual intercourse 3-4 weeks after the surgery. Surgical scar is not noticeable from the outside. The patient can have bath 2 days after labiaplasty surgery. We recommend our patients to strictly follow the advices of doctors and to use the prescribed medications regularly in order not to have any health problems after labiaplasty surgery. Nevertheless, you should definitely have the control examinations recommended by your doctor after labiaplasty surgery.
