Intimate plasticity: fashion trend or physiological necessity?

According to statistics, about 20% of women turn to a plastic surgeon for correction of the genital organs. Over the past year, the number of intimate plastic surgeries exceeded the number of breast plastic surgeries. What is the reason for this interest?

With this and other questions, we turned to the leading Ukrainian plastic surgeon, Pavel Denishchuk, who successfully performs intimate plastic surgeries and practices the method of injection correction of female genital organs that he introduced.

How often do you get an intimate plastic surgery? Are they men or women?

In our clinic "ANA-COSMO" for three years there has been the only department of intimate plastic surgery in Ukraine. For 16 years of my practice in plastic surgery, 20% of patients' requests are for intimate problems. I can say with confidence that we do correction of the genital organs every three days on average, while the majority of patients are women.

What is the most difficult operation in intimate plastic surgery?

Vaginal reduction, performed for medical reasons, is considered the most difficult operation. It may expand with age or after complex or multiple births due to ruptures that heal into tough scar tissue. As a result, the diameter of the vagina can increase so much that sex ceases to bring pleasure to both partners. But that's only half the trouble. If the vagina is excessively enlarged, bacteria can easily enter it, there are cases of vaginal prolapse, and if the anterior wall is weak, urinary incontinence may occur. In particularly difficult cases, we are faced with uterine prolapse, and here we cannot do without abdominal surgery in a specialized hospital. How to determine if the size of the vagina is enlarged? Everything is very individual. The main reference point is the feelings of the woman herself and her partner.

Restoration of virginity. What is the essence of the operation and why are they applying for it?

The reasons can be different: rape or a planned marriage with a Muslim. It happens that a woman who has given birth may also need physical virginity, for example, to diversify sensations. I always remember a case when a husband, who was leaving on a long business trip, brought his wife to the clinic for the restoration of virginity.

When restoring virginity, I cut out a new hymen from the tissues of the vagina, stitching their fragments with an absorbable thread. The operation itself lasts no more than two hours.

Reverse surgeries also occur when patients seek surgical defloration. Such an intervention may be necessary if the hymen is too dense, which makes it impossible for partners to have sex, experience discomfort, or cannot conceive a child.

Which is the most popular operation among women?

The most common operation is labia minora reduction (LPG). Such defects can be both congenital and acquired after childbirth. The labia minora can protrude beyond the edges of the large ones by 1-3 mm. This is considered the norm. If this value exceeds 1 cm, then the patient experiences embarrassment in front of a partner and discomfort in tight clothes, whether it be a swimsuit or a sports uniform for training. Patients sometimes turn to me with a request to completely smooth out the MPG relief, but from a medical point of view, this is unacceptable: MPGs cover the entrance to the vagina, thereby protecting it from infections.

The operation itself is performed with a radio wave knife, with which I excise excess tissue and give the MPG a natural scalloped, slightly uneven look. After the operation, an application-bandage is applied to the perineal area and the patient remains under the supervision of gynecologists and a surgeon. Upon discharge, the patient receives clear instructions for caring for the intimate area. The recovery period lasts only 3-5 days. However, we recommend that you abstain from sex for at least four weeks after the operation.

What are the contraindications for intimate plastic surgery?

Before the operation, it is necessary to consult with a therapist and donate blood and urine for analysis. This allows you to exclude direct contraindications, such as inflammation, acute conditions, infections, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, allergies. Contraindications to intervention are also critical days, laser hair removal, carried out less than two weeks before it.

Which injection methods are used to correct the female genital organs?

Lipofilling can be attributed to a rather simple and harmless manipulation on the genitals of women. With age or after multiple births, the labia majora lose their density and volume. In such cases, we inject the patient's own fat into them. If it is not enough, then I use preparations based on hyaluronic acid. After the operation, the labia majora become dense and elastic.

Basically, injection methods are aimed at increasing sensitivity. I have developed a method in which injections of hyaluronic acid preparations or the patient's own fat are injected into the side walls of the vagina. Due to the fact that hyaluronic acid molecules attract water, the process of tightening the vagina takes place. Accordingly, during penetration, the partner's penis will be more tightly wrapped around the walls of the vagina, which will enhance the sensations of both partners.
