Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) is undoubtedly a fast-growing speciality in the world with increasing demand for a variety of procedures to beautify the female genitals. In India, over the last few years, there has been a steady growth in the interest for these procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A variety of FGCS procedures were performed on 76 patients from January 2012 to August 2016. The procedures performed were as follows: vaginal tightening, labia minoraplasty, labia majoraplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and hymenoplasty. DISCUSSION: Based on FSFI scores, labia minoraplasty was more valuable as a cosmetic procedure and vaginal tightening was associated with better sexual function after surgery. CONCLUSION: FGCS is no doubt in its infancy in India. However, there is a steady rise in the awareness and demand for these procedures. A combination of procedures to improve individual components leads to improved aesthetic and functional aspects of female genitalia.
