Correction of intimate areas in women is a series of therapeutic measures, after which physical defects in the area of the large or small labia, vagina, clitoris are eliminated. In addition, these measures help to improve the patient's quality of life, including sexual life, normalize her emotional status and get rid of complexes. What types of surgical correction of defects in the female intimate zone are used today, to whom such operations are indicated, estet-portal.com will answer.
Correction of the intimate zone: indications for carrying out
Plastic surgeons who deal with the correction of intimate areas distinguish the following indications for surgery:
• anatomical defects of the intimate zone (acquired, congenital: infection of the hymen, scars in the perineum, omission / prolapse of the vagina, hematomas, hypertrophy or lengthening of the labia minora, hypertrophy of the clitoris with hyperandrogenism;
• age-related : thinning of the mucous membrane, bleeding that occurs after friction (when wearing underwear or coitus), elongation of the labia minora, sclerosing lichen of the vulva;
• postoperative period after surgical treatment).
Surgical elimination of defects in the intimate area is performed only after consultation with a gynecologist, urogynecologist and, of course, a psychologist, who must exclude various dysmorphophobia in the patient.
Correction of the intimate area: vaginoplasty or vaginal plastic surgery
This type of correction of the intimate area is an intravaginal operation. Performed by women 25 – 55 years. Often, vaginoplasty is combined with the restoration of the pelvic floor muscles in case of prolapse of the genital organs. The main objective of the operation is to eliminate the "vaginal relaxation" syndrome, when the volume of the vagina is significantly increased. Also, vaginoplasty is performed to remove post-episiotomy scars and scars left after ruptures in childbirth, with stretching and ruptures of intimate muscles.
The procedure has 2 modifications: anterior (upper posterior colporrhaphy) and excision of the lateral walls of the vaginal mucosa. A combination of both methods is possible. The operation eliminates the gaping of the entrance to the vagina and significantly improves the quality of sexual life not only for the patient, but also for her partner. The duration of the surgery is 60 minutes, the recovery period takes 10-15 days.
Correction of the intimate area: plastic surgery of the labia minora
Labioplasty is recommended for women who have functional or aesthetic concerns about the size of the labia minora (LPG). The size of these anatomical structures undergo changes throughout life. The optimal width of the PGM when breeding them is 2 – 4 cm. With hypertrophy, elongation or protrusion of the MPG, functional discomfort occurs (injury to the MPG when wearing underwear, playing sports or having sex). In addition, deformation, flabbiness of the MPG and other changes are an aesthetic defect and cause psychological discomfort.
The essence of the operation is to reduce or correct the shape (for example, with asymmetry) of the MPG. Also, labioplasty allows you to eliminate excessive folding, areas of pigmentation, various benign neoplasms (papillomas, condylomas). The maximum duration of the operation is 90 minutes, the recovery period takes 15 – 30 days.
Correction of the intimate zone: plastic surgery of the pelvic floor and clitoris
Plasty of the labia majora is shown when their size is too large. The discrepancy between the sizes of the BPG provokes the development of inflammatory processes of the external and internal genital organs, the appearance of diaper rash, forms a cosmetic defect when wearing tight-fitting underwear (swimsuit, underwear, trousers). The operation can be performed in 2 ways:
1. Traditional (surgical)
Excess skin is excised with a scalpel. The procedure lasts about an hour, the recovery period takes 4 – 5 weeks.
2. Laser
The excision of excess skin of the LPG is carried out with a directed laser beam, which immediately coagulates the vessels, which prevents bleeding. The procedure takes 40 minutes, the rehabilitation period is 10 – 15 days.
Clitoplasty is recommended for women who have a small or too large clitoris, as well as patients whose clitoris is located pathologically after trauma or childbirth, which creates not only a cosmetic defect, but also sexual problems. As a rule, the correction of the LPG or the critor is carried out by the laser method.
Surgical operations in the perineum and vagina can be accompanied by a number of complications. These include: the occurrence of bleeding in the postoperative period, the divergence of the postoperative wound, dyspareunia, excessive excision of tissues in the intimate area.
The operation lasts about an hour, the recovery period takes 14 – 21 day. Often, clitoroplasty is combined with vaginoplasty, correction of the large and small labia.
