Beauty is a purely individual concept, but nevertheless times dictate their own laws. Not for nothing that there are so many clients with cosmetologists and plastic surgeons. In particular, plastic of the labia minora is becoming increasingly popular. What kind of person does not bother his own physical imperfection ?! This applies not only to the appearance as a whole, but also to the state of delicate areas that are not put on public display. Let's try to understand the nuances of such an intimate procedure.
Sensitive topic
Plastic surgery of the labia minora among surgeons is called labioplasty. This concept includes surgery, the purpose of which is to correct the size and shape of the labia. The operation is simple, the recovery period is quite short, and the risk of complications is minimal. All this has made intimate plastic one of the most popular positions in the price list of clinics. Why may you need plastic labia minora? Will it cost much? And will such an operation affect the patient’s sexual life? Questions are dizzy, but they are all quite simple. So, in most cases, female patients are dissatisfied with the aesthetic appearance of their organs, low sexual sensitivity. Another reason, of course, are psychological complexes. These are personal motives that may prompt the operation.
Medical indications are also possible. In particular, a pronounced deviation from the norm in the length of the labia minora. This implies a length of more than 4-5 cm. For a woman, this feature may be inconvenient, since when walking the labia rub against each other, and this is fraught with skin irritation and chronic pain. By the way, it interferes with intimate life for the same reasons.
How will it help?
Labioplasty helps with the deformation of both large and small labia. So, large lips often differ from the norm in medical and aesthetic terms in the direction of increase or decrease. Sometimes this is an innate feature of the body, but it happens that this is a consequence of age-related changes, hormonal disorders or childbirth. The plasticity of the labia minora is indicated for their apparent asymmetry, color, shape and size change, sagging, manifestations of folding and sagging.
How's it going?
Most often, labioplasty is needed to reduce the labia minora. In the process, the surgeon dissects the excess tissue, following one of the basic techniques. In the first case, this is a V-shaped technique, in which tissue flaps are removed while preserving the natural appearance of the edges of the labia. In another embodiment, this is a linear technique in which not only the size is adjusted, but also wrinkles and age spots are removed. In this case, there is some risk of damage to the clitoris, and this leads to a decrease in the level of sexual sensitivity. Accordingly, professional surgeons have not used a traditional scalpel for this for almost a quarter of a century, replacing it with laser equipment.
Plasticity of the labia majora can be carried out by three different methods. It all depends on the task that the surgeon sets himself. If an increase is planned, then injections based on hyaluronic acid or lipolifting are used. By the way, in the same way, the labia minora can be enlarged. Previously, biopolymer gels were used for these purposes, but today they are banned in many countries due to a number of complications.
If you need to reduce the volume, the surgeon performs liposuction. And in the case when the sagging of the labia takes place directly, the problem is solved by surgical excision.
The nuances of the operation
All potential clients of the surgeon have a question: "How is the plastic of the labia minora performed?" It’s not enough just to want to adjust your data. Before the day of surgery is scheduled, the patient must undergo an examination by a gynecologist. This is necessary in order to determine the volumes and methods of the indicated intervention, as well as generally check the state of one’s health. The patient must undergo numerous tests, including a check for inflammatory and infectious diseases of the genital area. For surgery, the optimal time period is the first 1.5-2 weeks after the completion of menstruation. Plastic surgery is performed both under local anesthesia and under general anesthesia, and takes no more than an hour. The doctor makes point cuts, removing excess tissue along the lines outlined in advance. In this case, especially sensitive areas are not affected.
If changes in the external genital organs are the result of age-related or traumatic birth causes, it is advisable to combine labioplasty with vaginoplasty.
Rehabilitation
Intimate plasticity of the labia minora is a delicate operation, but it is not so difficult. If local anesthesia was used, then you can go home almost immediately after the end of the surgeon's work. The recovery period after general anesthesia will take at least a day in a hospital. But a full rehabilitation will last about six weeks. Moreover, the first days should be held in a gentle mode, that is, with a minimum of physical exertion. At this time, the patient may experience pain in the perineum. After going to the toilet, you need to wash your genitals with special tools. It will be necessary to exclude wearing tight-fitting underwear and clothes so as not to hamper movements. The first month after the operation, you need to refrain from visiting the gym, pool, sauna and bath. Even taking a hot bath is prohibited. And you will have to forget about intimate contacts for a month and a half. The operation will not affect the reproductive function and will not cause problems with conception. But still there are some contraindications to labioplasty.
Who does not need to do?
If the plastic of the labia minora is so safe (photos of the results, by the way, often motivate women aged for surgery, but you need to pay attention not only to the pictures), then what are the contraindications for surgery? You should be careful when considering this issue for those people who suffer from problems in the groin area. It can be inflammatory processes, acute diseases of the body as a whole and the intimate zone in particular, blood clotting disorders, the approaching beginning of the menstrual cycle. The operation is undesirable for girls under 18 years of age, pregnant and lactating women, as well as persons with mental disabilities. These are quite logical conditions, despite the fact that labioplasty is considered the simplest plastic surgery with a minimum of complications and “side effects”. However, in the case when the intervention is illiterate, it can lead to not the most pleasant consequences.
There are "side effects"
What can turn into a burning desire to return the aesthetic appeal of the intimate zone? Possible negative consequences must be borne in mind by those who are attracted by the plastic of the labia minora and labia minora. Almost all patients note pain that occurs during sexual intercourse, which is explained by the narrowing of the entrance to the vagina. Discomfort has a name - dyspareunia. Over time, the discomfort passes, and the situation normalizes. If the surgeon acted roughly, he could remove too much soft tissue. Because of this, there is a constant gaping of the entrance to the vagina. This condition can result in systematic dryness of the vaginal mucosa, and this provokes infections. The thing is that the labia minora perform their barrier functions weaker. Among the unpleasant but reversible side effects is also a decrease in sensitivity in the labia. This is a standard consequence of any surgical intervention, provoked by damage to nerve endings. The restoration of sensitivity can last either a month or a year. So, as we see, not everything is so smooth, it has the nuances of the plastic of the labia minora. Photos of the results offered to patients for viewing in surgeons' offices are motivating, but still, the operation must be approached wisely.
Money issue
A logical question arises: "How much does intimate plastic of the labia minora cost?" Photos showing impressive aesthetic progress make one doubt that an average-income woman can afford such an operation. However, in fact, the prices are quite affordable. Correction of the labia is not in vain considered one of the most inexpensive operations. Although the price range is very impressive, as there are several determining factors. This is the amount of intervention, the chosen method of anesthesia and the price policy of the clinic. For example, in the capital, the price can start from 6 thousand rubles, the upper threshold - 160 thousand. The golden mean in this case is the bar of 48.5 thousand rubles.
Opinions of experts
There is an opinion that plastic surgeons have a cold attitude towards the patient’s ardent desires to adjust themselves to the model framework. But in fact, many experts primarily care about the health of people and recommend that they cautiously approach such a welcome operation. If there are obvious indications for labioplasty (for example, the labia minora extend beyond the edge of the labia majora and do not look quite aesthetically when the woman is standing; if an ugly contour is drawn in tight underwear; if the edges of the labia minora are longer than five centimeters), then the patient has the right seek help from a surgeon, and she will not be refused. But with an excessive desire to reduce the normal initial data, the contour plastic of the labia minora will inevitably lead to problems with dryness in the perineum, and this will negatively affect intimate health.
What people say
There will be many people who criticize plastic surgery, but this does not make its adherents less. And they both often agree on one thing: plastic should help to correct a flaw, and not to customize everyone and everything under a single sample. For those who have plastic surgery on the labia minora, patient reviews will be a good help and a sure way to calm nerves that are swollen. I must say that along with the positive there are also negative reviews. Men have a different view of female beauty. For them, model neatness of forms is not as important as sexual bulge. Sexuality is most often a provocation bordering on vulgarity. So the factor of attractiveness can be just a frank and catchy look. So for married couples, labioplasty is relevant if significant changes have occurred in the appearance of the genitals, aesthetics have been violated, whether due to childbirth, age-related changes or due to operations.
Competent correction
But the problem with aesthetics in preparing for surgery is not so important. Laser plastics of the labia minora can positively affect the patient’s sex life, her level of sensitivity and self-confidence. The operation does not affect the reproductive function, so there are no contraindications to it, even at a young age. The main thing is that plastic should be carried out as necessary, and not as you wish. If the imperfection of the body makes you close, avoid your favorite clothes, beautiful clothes and sex, then the operation will be the best way out. There are no medical indications for this kind of plastic, but it helps to make the shape of the labia neat, and the general appearance of the intimate area aesthetic. External changes in this organ can occur due to many factors. This can be a sharp weight loss, age, excess of male hormones, dermatitis, urinary incontinence, hormonal failure and birth trauma.
Arguments for
Women who are hesitant and can not choose the method of surgical intervention, are interested in what are the advantages of laser surgery of the labia minora. Firstly, this is a small invasiveness, since the tissues are excised by a beam of light. Secondly, the reduction of bleeding due to the gentle action of the laser beam. Thirdly, this is the maximum safety of the intervention, because the laser has a bactericidal effect on the tissue. Fourth, it should be noted that the sensitivity and protective function of the labia remain, and due to the point effect of scars, it does not remain. Fifthly, after such an operation, the rehabilitation period is short and there is no need for hospitalization.
