What is an intimate surgery?

Generally, private surgery, also known as genital plastic surgery or genital aesthetic surgery, refers to a category of surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance or structure of the female genital area. These surgeries aim to enhance the aesthetics and comfort of the female genital region. Common types of private surgeries include hymenoplasty, vaginal tightening, labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and genital hair removal. Detailed descriptions are as follows:

1. Hymenoplasty

Hymenoplasty involves surgically reattaching a ruptured hymen by suturing or reconstructing it using remaining hymenal tissue, restoring it to its pre-rupture condition. The approximate reference cost of hymenoplasty is 2000-8000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable within 1-2 months post-surgery, although symptoms such as local redness, swelling, and pain may occur.

2. Vaginal Tightening

Vaginal tightening involves surgically removing part of the vaginal mucosa and muscle tissue, then suturing the remaining tissue to reduce the vaginal diameter. The approximate reference cost of vaginal tightening is 5000-20,000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable within 1-3 months post-surgery, although complications such as bleeding or hematoma may occur.

3. Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty involves designing a suitable surgical plan based on the degree and shape of labial hypertrophy. It may involve simply removing excess labial tissue or performing partial excision and reshaping to achieve a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance while alleviating discomfort such as friction or pain caused by enlarged labia. The approximate reference cost of labiaplasty is 3000-10,000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable within 1-2 months post-surgery, although symptoms such as local swelling and bruising may occur.

4. Clitoral Hood Reduction

Clitoral hood reduction is a surgical procedure performed to address excessive clitoral hood length or abnormal morphology. It involves removing excess clitoral hood tissue to fully expose the glans clitoris, enhancing clitoral sensitivity while improving the appearance of the clitoral area, thereby enhancing sexual quality and genital aesthetics. The approximate reference cost of clitoral hood reduction is 3000-8000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable within 1-1.5 months post-surgery, although symptoms such as pain and swelling may occur.

5. Genital Hair Removal

Genital hair removal utilizes the photothermal principle of lasers. A specific wavelength laser penetrates the skin to reach the hair follicles, where the melanin in the follicles absorbs the laser energy, generating heat that rapidly increases the follicle temperature, destroying the follicular structure, thus inhibiting hair growth and reducing or eliminating genital hair to maintain genital hygiene. The approximate reference cost of genital hair removal is 500-2000 yuan per session. Improvement is typically noticeable within 1-2 months post-surgery, although symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, and pain may occur.

It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of qualified physicians to ensure surgical safety and reliability. Postoperative care should include maintaining genital hygiene and dryness, avoiding strenuous activities, following medical advice for medication and care, and avoiding sexual activity for a short period after surgery.
