Intimate contour plastic surgery

Intimate contour plastic surgery, or intimate filling, falls under the specialized field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery aimed at improving or rejuvenating the aesthetic and functional appearance of the genital area. The use of modern procedures and certified products (fillers) allows specialists at the "Dobrobut" medical network to address various issues, ranging from age-related volume loss and asymmetry to dissatisfaction with the appearance of the genitals after childbirth or significant weight change.

When is Intimate Contour Plastic Surgery Necessary

Intimate contour plastic surgery helps correct changes that affect aesthetic perception, psychological state, and the quality of sexual life for patients. Causes of such conditions may include:

• Volume loss in the labia majora due to natural aging processes, weight fluctuations, or hormonal changes, manifested as sagging or laxity of tissues.
• Various types of asymmetry and disproportions, both congenital and acquired after childbirth or trauma.
• Changes following childbirth, such as stretching, tears, or surgical interventions.
• Functional issues, including hypertrophy of the labia, which may cause discomfort during exercise, wearing tight clothing, or during sexual activity.

Indications and Contraindications for Intimate Filling

Indications:

Intimate contour plastic surgery is indicated for patients who want to improve the aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia, become more confident, and derive greater enjoyment from sexual relationships, as well as for those who require correction for:

• volume loss,
• presence of asymmetry and disproportion,
• emergence of functional problems, discomfort, or painful sensations due to labial hypertrophy.

Intimate filling, like other medical procedures, has contraindications, including: acute or untreated sexually transmitted infections, autoimmune diseases, known allergic reactions to fillers, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

Preparation for Intimate Filling

Preparation for intimate contour plastic surgery involves a consultation with a plastic surgeon or aesthetic gynecologist, during which anatomical and functional features of the genital area are assessed, medical history is reviewed, and preoperative diagnostics are scheduled to identify possible contraindications. Based on test results (complete blood count, infection tests, etc.), a decision is made regarding the appropriate type of procedure.

How the Procedure Is Conducted

Intimate plastic surgery can be performed using dermal fillers or through lipofilling, where the patient's own adipose cells are used as a filler. Depending on the technique, intimate filling includes the following stages:

1. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is usually applied, although in some cases sedation or general anesthesia may be used for patient comfort.
2. Dermal Fillers:
   • Injection: The surgeon carefully injects a predetermined amount of hyaluronic acid-based filler into the labia majora or other target areas using fine needles or cannulas.
   • Modeling: The area is gently massaged for even distribution and natural contour formation.
3. Lipofilling:
   • Fat Harvesting: Fat is harvested from specific areas of the patient's body (usually from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) using liposuction techniques.
   • Preparation: The harvested fat emulsion is purified and prepared for injection.
   • Injection: The purified fat is carefully injected into the labia majora or other areas to restore volume and improve contours.
   • Sculpting: The surgeon shapes and models the area to achieve the desired aesthetic result.

Rehabilitation Period

After the procedure, patients are typically monitored for a short time in the clinic and usually discharged home the same day. Light swelling and bruising may occur immediately after the procedure.

To reduce swelling and bruising, cold compresses are generally sufficient, and pain relief medications can be used if significant pain arises.

During the days following the procedure, patients are advised to avoid physical activities, intimate relations, and wearing tight underwear or clothing until they are fully healed. Visits to pools, saunas, and baths should also be avoided during this period.

A follow-up visit is scheduled for assessing healing and the results of the intervention, as well as preventing complications.

It is essential to follow all care recommendations and monitor for potential complications to initiate treatment promptly. Possible signs of infection (significant swelling, pain, fever), bruising, or fluid accumulation needing drainage, asymmetry needing correction, allergic reactions, or resorption of fat in the case of lipofilling should all be reported to the physician.

With a proper choice of technique and the use of certified products, intimate contour plastic surgery allows for the correction of aesthetic and functional issues, significantly improving patients' quality of life and self-confidence.
