  • Aesthetic Surgery of the Female Genitalia
    Aesthetic Surgery of the Female Genitalia Julie M.L.C.L. Dobbeleir, M.D.,1 Koenraad Van Landuyt, M.D., Ph.D.,2 and Stan J. Monstrey, M.D., Ph.D.2 ABSTRACT Aesthetic genital surgery seems to have become a fashionable issue nowadays. Many procedures and techniques have been described these last years, but very few long- term results or follow up studies are available. The novelty of this aspect of plastic surgery and the lack of evidence-based interventions, have led to a comparison with female genital mutilation. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the possible surgical procedures as well as the general principles of aesthetic surgery of the female genitalia. KEYWORDS:Genital surgery, genital cutting, labioplasty, vaginal tightening Aesthetic surgery of the female genitalia is a rium, many questions have been raised, regarding tech- much discussed topic in the popular press as well as the nical issues, indications, and—not in the least–ethics, scientific journals. It seems to be fashionable for men but few scientific answers are available. and women of today’s world to have their genitals As for every new specialty, guidelines need to be altered. set up and long-term studies are a necessity.

  • Clitoral Reconstructive Surgery After Female Genital Cutting
    FEATURE Clitoral reconstructive surgery after female genital cutting BY AMR SEIFELDIN emale genital mutilation / cutting (FGM/C), aka female circumcision, is defined by the World Health FOrganization (WHO) as “All procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-medical reasons” [1]. Practised in Africa and other parts of the world, the WHO recently estimated that over 250 million females have been circumcised so far, and an additional three million are at risk of circumcision each year, nearly 8000 cases a day [2]. First recorded in Egypt in the 5th Century BC, and noted on a papyrus from Memphis in 2nd Century BC, its historic background goes back more than 3000 years. Some ancient Egyptian mummies were found to World Health Organization Classification of Female Genital Mutilation have been circumcised.

  • Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery to Decrease the Size of the Clitoral
    Clitoral Hood Reduction Surgery to decrease the size of the clitoral hood to improve the genital appearance and increase sensation What is Clitoral Hood Reduction? Clitoral Hood Reduction is surgery to remove excess skin from the hood of the clitoris, reducing its size and increasing clitoral sensation. The experienced surgeons at Bella Vou provide bespoke Intimate Rejuvenation. Clitoral Hood Reduction can be a stand-alone procedure or combined with a Labia Minor Reduction to remove excess folds of skin, rejuvenate the vulva, and create a neat and balanced genital appearance. Why have Clitoral Hood Reduction? Natural anatomy and the effects of ageing can make the skin over the clitoris appear bulgy or prominent. The clitoral hood may protrude, catching on clothing or causing discomfort during sex. It can also make the area stick out so that it resembles a small penis. Furthermore, for some women, the excess skin over the clitoris reduces sensation and subdues sexual pleasure. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your vulva, if excess skin covering your clitoris is reducing your confidence and affecting your sex life, then Clitoral Hood Reduction surgery can help. The specialist aesthetic surgeons can remove excess skin to improve the appearance of the genital area and restore your body confidence. What happens in Clitoral Hood Reduction? At Bella Vou, Clitoral Hood Reduction is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case procedure, so you won’t need to stay in the clinic overnight. The surgeon carefully cuts away the extra tissue to make the hood shorter, neater, and less prominent.

  • The Extended Clitoral-U Suspension and Unhooding
    Case Report Clinics in Surgery Published: 16 Feb, 2018 The Extended Clitoral-U Suspension and Unhooding Steven P Davison*, Kylie D Hayes and Gabrielle LaBove Department of Plastic Surgery, Georgetown University Hospital, USA Abstract Labiaplasty with clitoral unhooding is becoming a more common procedure. The authors discuss the extended clitoral-U suspension, and unhooding technique to address both the labia minora excess and clitoral hooding of the patient. Introduction As labiaplasty has become more main stream the labia minora reduction procedure has changed from discussing the amputation technique versus the wedge technique to a more tailored approach to each patient. One of the a la carte additions to labia minora reduction has been the clitoral hood reduction. This has been particularly successful as it addresses the visible tissue show of the clitoral prepuce in the anterior labial commissure, a major concern for the patient [1]. Patients with significant clitoral hooding often present with frustration with the forward standing view presentation of their labia and clitoral hood in which three arches and two folds appear (Figure 1). Case Presentation Current techniques Two main surgical techniques have addressed the clitoral unhooding. The first described by Gary Alter removes a horizontal central cleft of tissue midshaft on the clitoral hood [2]. The next technique, most effectively communicated by Hamori, reduces the overhang just dorsal to the clitoral hood [3]. Neither of the techniques observes the time-aged plastic surgery trick of hiding incisions at subunit transitions. Technical Detail We suggest that placing the suture line at the vaginal cleft rim and resecting the proximal one- third to one-half of the hood has considerable advantages.
