Introduction
: Female genital aesthetic surgery is in increasing demand; however, its technique and results are not well known. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic data, clinical manifestations, postoperative results and satisfaction in a group of women who underwent female genital cosmetic surgery.
Methods
: Descriptive, retrospective study of an institutional database, in the period March 6, 2007 to January 14, 2021. Demographic and clinical data from medical records were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Data were retrieved for 713 patients, mean age 34.3 years, 12 of whom were younger than 18 years. Before the intervention, 87.5 % (n= 624) of patients were dissatisfied with the appearance of their external genitalia, 74.1 % (n= 528) had discomfort with their genitalia and 53.4 % (n= 381) reported loss of sexual gratification. The most common findings on physical examination were hypertrophy of the labia minora (n= 616; 86.4 %) and redundant clitoral hood (n= 577; 80.9 %). The most commonly performed surgery consisted of labiaplasty (n= 609; 85.4 %) and clitoral hood reduction (n= 564; 79.1 %). Overall satisfaction at 8 and 30 days was 99.4 % (n= 709) and 93.3 % (n= 665), respectively.
Conclusions
: In the cohort studied, women achieved high rates of cosmetic satisfaction with surgical results and improvement in their functional satisfaction. There was a low rate of complications.
