There are various reasons why people decide to undergo intimate surgery. These can be aesthetic, functional or psychological:<\/p>

Aesthetic reasons: Some women and men find the appearance of their genitals unsatisfactory and want a change to feel more comfortable and confident.<\/p>

Functional reasons: Enlarged labia or other anatomical peculiarities can cause discomfort when wearing certain clothing, playing sports or having sex.<\/p>

Psychological reasons: Dissatisfaction with one’s own body can negatively affect self-esteem and sexuality. A correction can help to increase personal well-being.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Intimate surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases under general anesthesia. The duration of the operation depends on the type of procedure, but is usually one to two hours.<\/p>

The recovery time also varies depending on the type of operation. Patients should take it easy in the first few days after the procedure and avoid physical exertion and sexual intercourse for several weeks to ensure a complication-free healing process. Mild swelling, bruising and discomfort are normal in the first few days, but usually subside within one to two weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before undergoing intimate surgery, a comprehensive counseling is essential. The desire for change should be well thought out and the patient should be aware of the risks and realities of the procedure. An experienced plastic surgeon will discuss with the patient not only the medical aspects but also the psychological motives and expectations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
