Perineoplasty is a surgical reconstruction of the perineum — the area between the vaginal opening and the anus. This region may stretch, tear, or lose structural support during vaginal childbirth or due to an episiotomy incision. Perineoplasty is considered a genital aesthetic surgery aimed at both functional and cosmetic improvement.
After childbirth, some women experience widening at the vaginal entrance, irregular appearance, scar stiffness, or discomfort during intercourse. In such cases, perineal aesthetics may be evaluated as a treatment option.
Applications for genital aesthetics in Ankara commonly include post-birth tissue changes. Suitability is determined through examination and planning by OP. DR. Esra Demir Yüzer based on tissue condition and symptoms.
