Genital aesthetics, as can be understood from the name, is the whole of the aesthetic operations carried out on the genital area. Over time, because of births, changes in the structure of the skin, excessive weight gain and loss or genetic predisposition, sagging and deformities occur in this area. Just as these deformities are caused by environmental factors, they can also be present from birth. Today, with the development of technology, aesthetic operations being performed more comfortably, more easily and with less pain increases the demand for these operations. The deformities occurring in this area can at the same time cause various functional disorders too. Almost all of the troublesome situations can be successfully eliminated with surgical operations.
The Operations Performed in Genital Aesthetics
In the female body, the area in which the vulva, the inner and outer lips, the clitoris and the vagina are located is called the genital area. In the operations carried out in the genital area, the vagina and the inner and outer lips are assessed together, and generally most operations are performed on this area. Because the deformities occur especially in the inner and outer lips. Genital aesthetic operations are generally operations performed from the inside outwards. Among these operations are aesthetic procedures such as vaginal tightening, reduction and correction of the inner and outer lips, and filler. One of the advantageous aspects of genital aesthetic operations is that more than one operation can be carried out in combination. In this way patients go through a single recovery process.
The Recovery Process After the Operation
Genital aesthetic operations can be carried out under general anaesthetic or under regional anaesthetic (without being put to sleep). However, in some cases and in line with the patient’s preference, local anaesthetic can also be chosen. The operation process is extremely comfortable and patients do not feel any pain or discomfort. Patients are generally discharged on the day of the operation or 1 day later. Although the recovery process varies according to the operation performed, patients can generally shower 2 days after the operation. Patients should not have sexual intercourse for approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Short walks taken during the recovery process help the swelling that occurs in the body after the operation to be eliminated. Depending on the operation, patients can return to their social lives within approximately 3 to 5 days.
