What is Vaginal Aesthetics? In which situations do patients turn to vaginal aesthetics?
İzmir genital area aesthetics is an operation that is becoming more and more common in the world and in our country, we perform it for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Women who do not find their genitals aesthetically pleasing, who do not enjoy sexual intercourse, whose genitals are deformed, deformed, and discolored over time, fall behind from experiencing sexuality due to the uneasiness they experience.

They cannot share this issue with their spouses or even with themselves. They are unable to express themselves due to feelings of shyness, misunderstanding and embarrassment. If private sexuality becomes a problem for one of the spouses, of course, it cannot be expected that the sexual relationship will be healthy.

Made to other parts of our body, for example; Aesthetic intervention can be applied to our genitals, such as breast lift, enlargement, reduction or applications to the face. With these interventions, the self-confidence of the woman increases, the obstacles to her feeling good and sexuality are removed.

In which cases is genital aesthetics performed?

  • Permanent stretching and sagging of the vagina, usually after normal delivery
  • In some women, congenital small lips are asymmetrical or have a large surface such as elephant ears.
  • Poor and thick healing of episiotemia incision applied in difficult deliveries
  • When there is sagging of the last part of the urinary bladder and rectum before the anus, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, constipation problems may occur. The uterus may also prolapse. In these cases, both corrective operations (anterior and posterior repair) and aesthetics can be performed.
  • It can be done in case of cliteromegaly (exaggerated large image of the clitoris and excessive skin folds).

More aesthetic needs arise in deformations that occur after birth. Can we talk a little bit about prenatal aesthetic needs?
The labium minus (inner lip) is located just at the entrance of the vagina in the genital area. It may be larger than normal, long, drooping (like an elephant's ear) or asymmetrical. It can be congenital, sometimes births, and sometimes it can occur as a result of processes such as waxing and glaze. The surgical correction of these inner lips is called 'labiaplasty'.

If the inner lips are large and drooping, our patients have difficulty in using tight clothes and underwear, they feel bad in social environments, doing sports and daily activities, and these patients are afraid of wearing swimsuits and bikinis.

The fact that the inner lips are larger than normal can create a constantly moist environment and lead to chronic, persistent vaginal infections or inflammation of the bartholin gland. It also causes sexual dysfunction.

Operations performed under local or light general anesthesia take between 30 minutes and 1 hour. No stitches are removed, return to social life is very fast.

Does the operation have any harm or hindrance to orgasm, pregnancy and childbirth, urination?
The surgeries have no harm or hindrance to getting pregnant, giving birth or urinating. For orgasm, on the contrary, it has effects that make people happy and increase the satisfaction between couples. Genital aesthetic operations; No matter how successful and error-free they are applied, they are surgical procedures after all.

For this reason, surgery carries unique risks. First of all, it should be kept in mind that a specialist and experienced doctor (İzmir genita aesthetic specialist) should be preferred, especially in genital aesthetic surgeries.

Is every operation performed with a surgical method?
There is a concept called 'vaginal rejuvenation'. We perform this treatment with fractional CO2 laser, which provides extremely painless and painless vaginal rejuvenation at the so-called 'lunch time'.

Fractional CO2 lasers that we use in treatment are effective on both the upper and lower layers of the skin. In fractional laser systems, laser light is sent to the skin in microscopic columns. The main target in these areas is water, that is, water-containing structures such as collagen, blood vessels, keratinocytes are damaged in a controlled manner.

Living cells in the intact areas right next to the thermally damaged area migrate to the damaged area and stimulate the repair mechanism there. Thus, tissue is renewed in the areas where these tiny columns are sent. Strong thermal heating and micro-ablation are applied to different layers of the vaginal wall, providing new collagen synthesis, tightening of elastin fibers, formation of new blood vessels and increasing vaginal lubrication.

It produces a very good solution for patients suffering from vaginal dryness. With the treatment of vaginal dryness, the female genital area regains its younger state; thickened epithelium, new collagen structures and the vaginal canal becomes significantly narrowed.
By regulating vaginal pH and flora at the same time with vaginal laser treatment; vaginal dryness, treatment of recurrent vaginal infections is provided.

It provides the rejuvenation of the vulvo-vaginal tissue, thus increasing the vaginal lubrication. It provides the treatment of chronic vaginal infections by increasing the local immune system response. Advantages such as the short duration of the procedure, the absence of a surgical incision or suturing, being extremely easy to tolerate for the patients, not requiring anesthesia, being very successful in mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence, and providing vaginal tightness throughout the length in the same session. It has aspects.

One of the most important advantages of the procedure is that the patient can continue his or her daily life on the same day. The treatment is carried out by gently applying the specially designed head similar to the transvaginal ultrasound probe to the vagina. All vaginal walls are scanned in a procedure that takes about 15 minutes.

What points has the understanding of vaginal aesthetics reached in our society?
In recent years, women are more conscious and willing to keep their bodies young and have a more beautiful appearance. Facial aesthetics, nose and breast aesthetics are among the operations that are both curious and highly sought after.

Problems affecting women's health have social consequences such as loss of sexual and personal trust; Routine activities such as working, traveling and participating in social activities can cause women to feel nervous and insecure.

Now, with the awareness in our society, our patients apply to us more often and get good results. Most importantly, these issues are no longer taboo, but they increase the self-confidence of women and open the doors of a happy sexual life.
