When you think about cosmetic surgery, some well-known procedures probably come to mind: the face-lift, the nose job and Botox injections. While these procedures are in high demand and increase in popularity year after year, there are many other procedures on the rise, too. Dr. Walker is a dual-board-certified cosmetic surgeon and gynecologist and has been trusted by many women in the Plano area to provide quality cosmetic surgery and services.
Services in Demand
One of the cosmetic services increasing in demand is cosmetic gynecology, a specialized form of cosmetic surgery that focuses on improving the appearance and shape of the vagina and genitals. Although many women choose cosmetic gynecology because of its aesthetic benefits, some women also undergo these procedures to improve intimacy and lessen discomfort during intercourse. Popular cosmetic gynecology procedures include the labiaplasty and vaginoplasty procedures, the pubic-lift surgery, and the clitoral hood reduction procedure.
Why Do Women Want Cosmetic Gynecology Treatments?
Women who seek out cosmetic gynecology services do it for the same reasons as those who choose to have cosmetic procedures on other body or facial areas: They want to fix a flaw or perceived flaw or be more comfortable.
Some women choose to undergo cosmetic gynecology because they want to change how their genitals look. These women have either been born with uneven labia, extra skin and fat in the pubic area or an elongated clitoris, or these conditions have developed as a result of changes in hormones, aging, pregnancy or childbirth.
These situations can make women feel self-conscious about their appearance, how they look in tight clothing and how their partners may perceive them.
In addition to feelings of self-consciousness, some women also experience physical discomfort as a result of their conditions. This discomfort means pain and friction during intimacy or while wearing certain clothing. This friction can cause vaginal and yeast infections for some women.
Who Should Perform Cosmetic Gynecology?
Women should seek out cosmetic gynecology treatments from medical professionals who are board certified in both cosmetic surgery and gynecology to have the best experience possible. Dr. Christy Walker is one of those professionals. She also holds the distinction of being dual board certified as a gynecologist and cosmetic surgeon by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
