Perineum Aesthetics

Perineum Aesthetics

Surgery for Correction of Birthmarks
The bad appearance of birth stitches is a problem for many women. Correction of birth sutures and giving them a more aesthetically pleasing appearance are also known as 'perineal aesthetics'.

What is Perineum Aesthetics?
perineum; It is the name of the genital area between the vagina and the anus. Generally, the correction of birth sutures and making them more aesthetically smooth is known as 'perineoplasty', i.e. 'Perineal aesthetics of Izmir'. However, perineoplasty (Izmir perineal aesthetics) can be performed for those who have not given birth due to the folds between the vagina and the anus, called the 'perineum', due to excess skin and wrinkles.

Why are perineal birth incisions made?
During normal delivery, an incision is made with scissors on the right side of the place between the vagina and the anus, called the 'perineum', to ensure that the baby's head is comfortable and to prevent irregular tears. This right perineal incision made to facilitate birth is called an 'episiotomy incision', 'episiotomy incision', or 'birth incision'. Episiotomy scars that do not heal well after normal delivery or that are opened by infection, later on, can cause many discomforts in women, both psychologically and physically.

The operation of correcting the suture marks left from normal birth, cleaning the skin folds between the vagina and anus, and giving this genital area a pleasant appearance aesthetically is called 'Perineoplasty' (Perineal aesthetics).

Perineoplasty – Perineal aesthetics is most often performed simultaneously with vaginal tightening surgeries. In some cases, it can even be applied together with labiaplasty and clitoris aesthetic surgeries.

Why do birth stitch scars heal poorly?
The episio incision made just before the delivery of the baby should be well repaired after birth. Otherwise, scar tissue may remain as a result of poor wound healing in this region in the postpartum periods. Home births are also common. In addition, the opening of the stitches after the birth by inflaming and tearing the baby out of the vaginal canal damages the perineum. Especially in difficult deliveries (the baby is larger than normal, the baby's head diameter is wider than normal, the vaginal entrance is narrow, and the roof is narrow) birth tears are quite common.

If birth sutures are not corrected, it can cause painful sexual intercourse.

Scar tissue that develops due to poor healing may cause pain (dyspareunia) during sexual intercourse. This situation can lead to sexual reluctance and dissatisfaction in couples over time. It can even turn into marital problems leading to cheating and divorce. In addition, a vagina that has changed and looks bad after childbirth also paves the way for a lack of confidence in women, embarrassment from their partner, and some psychological problems.

The operation to correct Episio scars is called “episio scarectomy”. Episio scar removal operations can be performed alone or in combination with vaginal tightening operations (vaginoplasty operation).

How is perineal aesthetics done?
Anatomical correction of the perineum, cleaning of birth sutures if any, and removal of skin folds (excess tissue) between the vagina and anus are within the scope of 'perineal aesthetics' (İzmir perineoplasty). Such operations are performed for cosmetic and functional purposes. While it makes the genital area look better aesthetically in terms of cosmetics, it also provides benefits in eliminating problems such as pain and suffering during sexual intercourse from a functional point of view.

How to remove birth suture marks?
Suture scars from birth are called 'epizio scars'. Sometimes the suture marks here may be raised, and sometimes they may be collapsed. Removal of these poorly healed scars is called episio scar ectomy. Episio scarectomy operation is generally performed under local anesthesia (with regional numbing) and takes about 30 minutes.

If the skin folds in the perineum are excessive in those who did not give birth normally, perineal aesthetic surgeries take between 30 and 45 minutes on average. Pain and bleeding after the operation are almost non-existent.

Patients who have the procedure can return to work in 3 days. Generally, after 1.5 months, sexual intercourse becomes free.

Perineal aesthetics is usually performed together with vaginal tightening.

Birthmark removal operations performed by us are mostly performed at the same time as vaginal tightening (Izmir vaginoplasty) operations. The results of perineoplasty surgeries are extremely pleasing.
