Cosmetic surgeries on cervix and external genitalia

Plastic surgery of the cervix and external genitals includes various surgical procedures aimed at improving functional and aesthetic aspects of these areas. At the "Dobrobut" medical network, experienced surgeons use modern surgical intervention techniques to help patients address issues arising from congenital anomalies, trauma, aging, childbirth, and their complications.

Plastic surgery of the cervix and external genitals may be necessary for various reasons. This can include functional discomfort and associated pain or dysfunction, often occurring due to trauma or after childbirth. The desire of the patient to enhance the aesthetic appearance of this delicate area can also lead them to consult a gynecologist-aesthetician. Such intervention can improve the psychological state of women and enhance their quality of life, including their intimate life.

Sometimes, cervical plastic surgery is indicated for the development of medical conditions requiring surgical treatment.

Indications and Contraindications for Plastic Surgery of the Cervix and External Genitals:

Indications:

Plastic surgeries on the cervix may be indicated in the following cases:

• Congenital anomalies - for correcting defects such as fusion of the labia minora or absence of the vaginal opening.
• Changes after childbirth - for restoring damage or changes, including perineal tears or weakness of the vaginal walls.
• Reconstruction after trauma or accidents affecting the genitals or cervix.
• Treatment of chronic skin diseases affecting the external genitals, such as lichen sclerosus.
• Cervical diseases, such as cervical dysplasia, cysts, and others.
• Addressing issues associated with sexual dysfunction, including pain or decreased sensitivity.

Contraindications:

In some cases, plastic surgery may not be performed. These include:

• Acute infections of the genitourinary system;
• Severe chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, which increase the risk of surgical intervention;
• Blood clotting disorders;
• Pregnancy.

Preparation:

Preparation for plastic surgery of the cervix and external genitals involves several important steps. During the preliminary consultation with a gynecologist or plastic surgeon, all details of the upcoming surgery and its expected results are thoroughly discussed. A complete diagnosis is conducted, including a thorough examination of the cervix and external genitals.

As part of the preoperative preparation, blood tests, ultrasound of the pelvic organs, Pap smears, and infection tests may be prescribed to identify possible contraindications.

How the Perineoplasty Procedure Is Conducted:

The method of surgical intervention is chosen based on the clinical situation and individual needs of the patient. Depending on the extent of the operation, local anesthesia, regional (epidural or spinal), or general anesthesia may be used.

Plastic surgeries on the genitals may include:

• Procedures on the cervix: conization of the cervix (removal of a cone-shaped portion of the cervix), trachelectomy (removal of part or all of the cervix), or laser treatment.
• Labial reduction (labialplasty): reshaping of the labia minora or majora by removing excess tissue for aesthetic and functional results.
• Vaginoplasty: tightening the vaginal walls by suturing the vaginal muscles and removing excess mucosal tissue.
• Clitoral hood reduction: removal of excess tissue covering the clitoris to enhance sexual sensitivity.
• Perineoplasty: restoration or reconstruction of the perineum, often performed after childbirth.

Rehabilitation Period:

Recovery time after these procedures depends on the extent and type of surgery performed and can range from several days to several weeks. It is important to follow all doctor’s recommendations during this time:

• Avoid heavy lifting, intense physical activity, and sexual intercourse until full healing;
• Maintain strict hygiene to prevent infections, apply antiseptic solutions as prescribed, and take antibiotics if needed;
• Attend regular check-ups to monitor the healing process and prevent complications.

Complications:

Possible complications after plastic surgery of the cervix and external genitals include:

• infections,
• bleeding and hematomas,
• scar tissue formation in the surgical area,
• pain and discomfort,
• asymmetry,
• decreased sensitivity,
• urinary problems.

Most complications tend to be temporary and resolve on their own over time.

Plastic surgery of the cervix and external genitals using modern techniques provides significant opportunities for addressing both functional and aesthetic issues. To achieve optimal results, careful preparation, qualified execution of the surgery, attentive postoperative care, and proper patient expectations are essential.
