What Is Aesthetic Gynecology?

“What is intimate plastic and what is intimate rejuvenation? In which case you need to do one thing, and in which another. Are there any age-related contraindications for such procedures? Now they also talk about intimate whitening - I do not understand at all why this is necessary?"

Expert's answer:

Aesthetic gynecology today includes such sections as laser rejuvenation (or restoration), contour correction with gynecological fillers based on hyaluronic acid, thread lifting, plasma therapy and placental therapy, intimate peels. It is designed to restore, first of all, the correct functional work of the intimate zone. There is no clear line between rejuvenation and plastic surgery, as these are always combined techniques and an individual approach. The task of a gynecologist-endocrinologist is to change the quality of a woman's life.

Hormones, preparing the baby's passage through the birth canal, affect the "elasticity" of collagen fibers, which create a framework for the walls of the vagina. Moreover, this process does not depend in any way on whether the birth was natural or took place with the help of a cesarean section. The body prepares for childbirth, so hormones weaken collagen fibers. As a result, the severity of sexual sensations decreases. In addition, the way "opens" (almost in the literal sense of the word) for endlessly recurring inflammatory processes (thrush, for example) and cystitis. In this case, laser cosmetology can help. What previously could only be done by a surgeon with great restrictions is now done by a vaginal laser in 5 minutes. I'll make a reservation right away: the procedure is painless and safe. It can be used for erosion and other diseases of the uterus. The procedure is completely comfortable with anesthesia. The mucous membrane of the intimate zone recovers faster than the skin, so there is no complicated rehabilitation. You are leading a normal life. The only limitation is that it is not recommended to live sexually for 5 days. This method can be used both for recovery after childbirth (3-4 months after childbirth is the ideal period), and for correcting age-related changes, as well as for preventive purposes. In other words, today it is a routine option for self-care.

Including this therapy in parallel solves the issue of hyperpigmentation of the intimate zone. Pigmentation of the intimate area is not only a matter of taste and aesthetics, pigmentation is always a reaction of the body to stress (hormonal disorders, diseases of internal organs, moreover, drugs, wax depilation, etc.). This means that your doctor should pay attention to these changes and recommend correction, for example, using a gynecological laser.

Intimate plastic (labioplasty) is a slightly different story. Surgical removal of excess tissue allows you to radically solve both medical and aesthetic and psychological issues of an intimate nature, usually associated with the appearance and structural features of female organs. The procedure does not take much time. It is very comfortable and painless. The rehabilitation period requires some restrictions, but they are not critical, since the mucous membranes have amazing properties for regeneration. If the volumes, on the contrary, need to be replenished, then for this today there is contour plastic - injections of fillers based on hyaluronic acid. You just need to keep in mind that only a gynecologist who has undergone special training has the right to introduce such fillers. Doctors-cosmetologists even with higher education, not to mention aesthetists,are not allowed to perform such manipulations.
