Patients must undergo a complete evaluation before aesthetic plastic genital surgery. Evaluations consist of taking a detailed history and gynecologic examination parts. You will find the answers to such questions as “What should patients who are considering having plastic aesthetic genital surgery do, what awaits patients, what stages are there?” in this section.
The process of taking a medical history is called 'anamnesis'. Patients need to trust their doctor while taking anamnesis and mark all their complaints in the open file without hesitation.
Evaluations Prior to Aesthetic Genital Operations
The following questions are asked in the first interview with patients who are considering plastic genital surgery:
- What types of complaints did she apply for?
- What is the primary complaint?
- When did the complaints start?
- Aesthetic and functional expectations about the operation
- Whether they have problems with their marriage or partner relationship
- Is it her spouse or herself who desires the operation first?
- Whether there are arousal, desire, orgasm, lubrication (wetting),and pain problems related to sexual life
- History of pregnancy and gynecological conditions
- Last menstrual period
- Menstrual cycles
- Whether there is a problem of urinary incontinence (leaky bladder problem)
- Systemic diseases
- Drugs used
- Drug allergies
- Whether she has received anesthesia before
- Past operations
- Past cosmetic
While taking the anamnesis, the physician noted the patient's attitudes, general psychology, and whether she has body dysmorphic syndrome symptoms.
Gynecologic examination
After taking the history, a simple gynecological evaluation is performed on the gynecologic examination table for a few minutes. During the gynecologic examination, all patient requests are listened to, and brief information is given about the procedures that can be performed on the genital area.
Information after gynecologic examination
After the gynecologic examination, detailed information about the planned genital plastic surgery is passed on:
- Which surgical technique will be applied?
- How long will it take?
- Issues such as whether an overnight stay is required are explained, and a common way is sought. To be more easily understood, all the things to be done are explained with simple drawings, and examples of previous surgeries of patients with permission are shown.
Detailed explanations are given about the following topics after deciding on genital plastic surgery
- When and where will the surgery be performed (clinic/hospital environment)?
- What will be the anesthesia method (local / sedation / epidural / pudendal / general)?
- What will the patient encounter in the postoperative period?
- What kind of drugs will she need to use?

Aesthetic Genital Surgeries in Turkey
Genital aesthetic operations require the utmost care, meticulousness, experience, and attention, and they cannot be rushed. Pre- and postoperative evaluations are important. As Hera Clinics in Turkey, we also believe that “each patient is different from the other”, the genital organs vary anatomically, and the surgical method should vary considerably from person to person.
These aesthetic surgeries, which are not included in the medical and specialty education curriculum, must be performed by knowledgeable and experienced surgeons who have received training in this field. The results obtained in genital aesthetic surgeries performed by physicians with sufficient experience in this field are satisfactory.
