Female Genital Aesthetics in Istanbul

Female genital aesthetics is one of the fastest growing areas of cosmetic surgery worldwide. The reason patients give is rarely appearance alone — discomfort, irritation and self-consciousness are usually part of it, and both sides are worth taking seriously.

Two operations are offered here:

  • Labiaplasty — reduction of the labia minora
  • Genital fat transfer — restoring lost volume with your own fat

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty reduces and reshapes the labia minora, the inner lips, where they are enlarged, elongated or noticeably asymmetric. For many patients the reason for asking is as much physical as aesthetic — irritation in fitted clothing, discomfort during exercise or cycling, or simple self-consciousness. There is no single correct shape. The aim is a natural and proportionate result rather than a standardised one, and what is appropriate for you is decided at consultation.

Genital fat transfer

Genital fat transfer restores volume and softness to the labia majora, the outer lips, using your own fat. Fat is taken from an area where it is not wanted, prepared, and placed where volume has been lost — most often after weight loss, after childbirth, or with age. Because the material is your own tissue rather than a manufactured filler, the result feels natural.

As with fat grafting anywhere on the body, part of the transferred fat is reabsorbed and the rest settles permanently. A realistic figure is given to you before the operation, not afterwards.

If you are considering either operation, the consultation is the place to ask directly — including the questions that are difficult to put into words.
