Track 9: Cosmetic Gynecology

Cosmetic Gynecology

Cosmetic Gynecology is a growing subspecialty that focuses on enhancing the appearance, function, and comfort of the female genital area. It includes both aesthetic and functional procedures that are tailored to meet a woman's personal goals, whether they are related to post-childbirth changes, aging, or individual preferences.

Common cosmetic gynecologic procedures include:

• Labiaplasty – reshaping or reducing the size of the labia minora or labia majora

• Vaginoplasty – tightening of the vaginal canal to improve tone and sexual function

• Clitoral hood reduction – enhancing clitoral exposure for improved sensitivity

• Hymenoplasty – surgical restoration of the hymen

• Monsplasty – contouring of the mons pubis area

• Laser vaginal rejuvenation – non-surgical tightening and improvement of vaginal health and lubrication

These procedures may address physical discomfort, enhance sexual satisfaction, or improve self-confidence. In addition to surgical options, non-invasive treatments like radiofrequency or laser therapy are often available for vaginal rejuvenation, improved urinary control, or enhanced vaginal moisture.

Cosmetic gynecology is a highly individualized field, and care is provided with sensitivity, privacy, and respect for each patient’s values and goals. Thorough consultation, education, and realistic expectations are essential to achieving satisfying outcomes.
