Genital Aesthetics

Genital aesthetics is the umbrella term for a family of procedures that reshape or restore the external genital area and the vaginal canal, most often in women. The best known are labiaplasty, which reduces or reshapes the inner or outer labia, vaginoplasty, which tightens the vaginal canal, perineoplasty, which repairs the area between the vagina and the anus, and clitoral hood reduction, and these can sometimes be combined with non-surgical laser or filler options. People seek these procedures for very practical reasons as often as aesthetic ones: discomfort with tight clothing, cycling or sport, irritation, changes after childbirth, or a loss of confidence in intimate life. The operations are usually short, performed under local or general anaesthesia, and are commonly done as a day-case or with a single overnight stay. Because the subject is personal, experienced centres run privacy-sensitive care pathways for international patients, with discreet consultations and female staff available on request.
