Intimate contour plastic surgery is a relatively new, but very popular direction in aesthetic medicine.
The reasons for resorting to such a procedure may be related to various problems, but most often it is simply the desire of a woman or a man to bring their body to a state close to the so-called ideal, which is unique to each person.
Indications for intimate contour plastic surgery
Reasons why intimate contour plastic surgery may be performed:
- Enlargement or reduction of the labia minora in women.
- Enlargement or reduction of the labia majora.
- Correction of the clitoris (clitoral xerosis).
- Reduction in vaginal volume.
- Increase in vaginal volume.
- G-spot correction.
- Increased libido, activation of vaginal orgasm (correction of the orgasmic cuff).
- Age-related changes in the labia.
- Reducing discomfort during sexual intercourse by increasing the moisture content of the mucous membrane in the genitals (clitoris, vestibule of the vagina, clitoral mantle)
Men also resort to intimate contour plastic surgery; the indications for the procedure are as follows:
- Enlargement of the head of the penis.
- Increase in penis diameter.
- Increase penis length.
In addition, intimate contour correction involves aesthetic restoration of the shape of the breast nipples, as a result of which they acquire elasticity and sensitivity. Often, the problem of stress enuresis is solved with the help of plastic surgery, in such cases the filler is injected para-autral.
How is intimate contour plastic surgery performed?
What is injected into the urogenital area during the procedure? Doctors use only proven, certified drugs, most often this is hyaluronic acid, which is perceived by the body as a "native" substance.
What is hyaluronic acid? It is a biopolymer, glycosaminoglycan substance, which is an important part of almost all soft tissues. The acid is able to retain water, form specific hydropolymers of very high density, they create the effect of elasticity, skin turgor, filling all intracellular spaces. The human body itself produces hyaluronic acid every day, but under the influence of various factors, the production of the substance slows down, and the skin loses elasticity and firmness. The condition of intimate areas is affected by both age and other reasons, for example:
- Childbirth.
- Decreased estrogen levels in the body.
- Genetic predisposition to abnormally sized genitals.
- Injuries.
- Overweight.
- A sharp decrease in weight due to excessive enthusiasm for diets.
With the help of contour plastic surgery of intimate areas, it is possible to solve the problem of tissue atrophy of the labia, penis, perineal ptosis, vaginitis and many other uncomfortable phenomena that interfere with the full sexual life of patients.
Most often, aesthetic medicine clinics receive requests regarding lipodystrophy of the labia. It is possible to restore the elasticity of the labia majora with the help of filler injections. The preparations are administered using a specific technique - a linear technique, and the pyramidal method can also be used. The procedure requires no more than 20 ml of the preparation, so this correction is considered quite affordable. It should be noted that, unlike contour injections in the neck, ear or face area, the introduction of fillers into the urogenital area is less painful, since this area is not so rich in receptors sensitive to pain.
The main advantages of intimate area correction using contour plastic surgery:
- The procedure is painless.
- The drugs do not have antigenic properties and therefore are not capable of causing an allergic reaction.
- All fillers are carefully tested by the manufacturer, certified and supplied to the clinic in sealed packaging (in sterile disposable syringes), therefore, they are safe in terms of infection, non-toxic and do not cause complications.
- Fillers injected into intimate areas do not migrate, meaning they cannot cause deformation of the labia or penis.
- The drugs used in plastic surgery are slowly absorbed, which promotes the body's natural adaptation to the injected filler.
- All hyaluronic acid-based fillers are considered bioavailable and compatible with the structure of soft tissues.
- The procedure does not require hospitalization and is performed on an outpatient basis.
- The effect of the procedure lasts about a year, sometimes longer, depending on the degree of tissue atrophy.
What rules should be followed after intimate contour plastic surgery?
The genitals of both women and men are well supplied with blood flow, therefore, after the correction, they practically do not swell and do not require special care. The only recommendation that doctors give is to abstain from sexual intercourse for 2-3 days after the introduction of the filler.
The result after intimate contour plastic surgery is the restoration of the aesthetic appearance of the genitals, as well as the activation of the sensitivity of the urogenital area, which significantly improves the quality of the patients' sexual life and psychological state in general.
