“There are no beauty standards in this matter”: an honest story from a Krasnoyarsk surgeon about intimate plastic surgery

“Patients want to please their partner.”

Intimate plastic surgery is a full-fledged operation, since everything that is associated with violating the integrity of the skin or mucous membranes falls into the category of surgical interventions.

The reasons vary among patients - both women and men. They apply for religious or aesthetic reasons, as well as clinical indications. Patients want to please their partner, often this is due to changes in the intimate area after childbirth or some kind of surgical intervention.

Most often, women apply because of their own dissatisfaction with the appearance of their intimate area. But it could be enlarged labia minora, a missing or enlarged clitoris - and we do plastic surgery, or restore the hymen, or solve problems of prolapse or relaxation of one or another wall of the female genital organ. Physiological indications may also vary.

Previously, when hearing the word “dentist,” a person felt fear, and the same applied to “surgery.” But as soon as adequate methods of anesthesia and modern treatment technologies appeared, the terrible event practically turned into a trip to the cosmetologist’s office. People go not only for the clinical result, but also for the aesthetic effect. And we position ourselves as professionals - you can count on one hand the number of private clinics that employ such highly qualified specialists, doctors of science and professors.

However, you still need to understand that operations “without an incision and anesthesia” are the tricks of marketers. There is no surgery without a minimal incision. But there’s nothing scary about it - the patient comes with a disease, we make a diagnosis and select a technique. Where we can do without surgery, we do without it. The most important thing for us is understanding, professionalism, and sincerity.

Blepharoplasty results: a youthful, open look

The main trend in blepharoplasty, and indeed in any modern plastic surgery aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of the patient, is to create the most natural effect. The highest class is when, after the operation, no one understands that eyelid surgery took place, but everyone notes that the person’s gaze has been subtly transformed, “visibly rejuvenated.”

Contrary to popular belief, the results of blepharoplasty last much longer than, for example, the results of a facelift. This is due to the fact that eyelid surgery in the 21st century is aimed not just at correcting age-related changes and ethnic characteristics of the shape and shape of the eyes, but also at preventing the appearance of these aesthetic defects in the future!

“There are no beauty standards in this business”

Patients say what they would like, and we demonstrate the possible outcome of the operation, what we can achieve. I ask a woman: “Are you satisfied with this result, can you maintain intimate peace for a month?” We immediately discuss such things.

Most often, fertile (capable of giving birth) patients are referred. They either developed a complex after their partner said something inappropriate to them, or they themselves felt it was time to change something. Although we are certainly interested in the reasons, the most important thing is to find out whether the person has some kind of mental shift. This is a rather delicate problem, and if a crooked nose is visible on the face, and this is some kind of aesthetic defect, then with the intimate area it is a matter of taste.

Our task is to find out the reason for the appeal and the desire to correct something. The most important thing is to exclude the psycho-emotional factor: if a woman, for example, has been and will be a perfectionist all her life, and any of our intervention may no longer please her. Or the operation is a requirement of the partner, for example. The reasons for this can be very different.

We very rarely refuse surgery when we feel that we will not find contact with the patient in the early postoperative period. With operations on women, psychological factors often play a role. It’s easier with men: if they decide to have surgery, then subsequently there are practically no problems with them.

What about men?

Men undergo surgery due to dissatisfaction with the size of the penis. We cannot say that many people do this, but we carry out such operations once every two weeks. Different methods are used here, the simplest and most gentle is the use of fillers. We explain to men that the effect of such an intervention lasts for 8-10 months, and they need to administer enough of them to significantly increase the volume of their manhood.

Some men will read somewhere that surgery can prolong sexual intercourse, and someone specifically goes for this. Others come with early ejaculation syndrome, when sexual intercourse occurs very quickly. For such people, we recommend surgical intervention after carrying out certain tests. However, we are not andrologists, and therefore we do not deal with erectile dysfunction; penile prosthesis is necessary here. This is not our profile.

The indication for surgery in a man is the presence of phimosis - an increase in the foreskin, or a tight foreskin. In this case, a person cannot even go to the toilet normally, let alone have any kind of intimate life. It's painful, but it can be solved. The photo shows a special apparatus for performing circumcision (circumcision).

Indications and contraindications

The operation will help:

• get rid of excess skin on the eyelids;
• remove wrinkles around the eyes;
• eliminate “fat bags”;
• make the eyes symmetrical;
• eliminate ptosis (drooping eyelid);
• raise the outer corners of the eyes, adjust the shape;
• make your look more open and expressive.

Eyelid surgery is contraindicated in the following cases:

• increased pressure (arterial or intraocular);
• a number of endocrine and cardiovascular diseases;
• bleeding disorders;
• glaucoma and some other eye diseases;
• skin diseases in the eyelid area;
• liver, kidney failure;
• oncological diseases.

It is not advisable to perform surgery on pregnant and lactating women, children and adolescents - only for medical reasons. In such cases, the surgeon assesses the individual risks and decides how appropriate the intervention is.

Is there an intimate life after surgery...

One day, our patient’s rectum prolapsed through her vagina, the so-called rectocele, and two operations had to be performed simultaneously - to reduce the penis and eliminate hemorrhoids. The next day after the operation, we discharged her, gave her a special diet so that she could recover comfortably, and approved intimate rest for a month. But patients themselves understand its necessity.

Patients most often understand that the effect of the operation, the money spent on it and the resulting stress can be nullified, and a good result will not come out, so they are restrained and scrupulous, write about every occasion, send photos and videos if suddenly the stitch comes off, for example. The return to normal physiological life lasts about two weeks to a month.

We explain to patients: “Do you want to ruin the effect of the operation so that the stitches come apart or bleeding starts? You can start having an intimate life on the second day. But it's better to wait. And if you already feel that you have healed there, you wash yourself, and it doesn’t hurt, then you can try to disturb your intimate peace.” We cannot look at a patient and say that he is ready.

Blepharoplasty at the Anthurium clinic

Blepharoplasty in Barnaul at the Anthurium clinic has been performed since 2004. This is the most popular and most common operation among patients.

The high professionalism and experience of doctors and medical staff guarantees the safety of surgery and ensures the aesthetic result of blepharoplasty.

The Anthurium clinic understands the importance of the rehabilitation period for the healing of scars after blepharoplasty, therefore the first cosmetic procedure after surgery is performed free of charge for the patient, and all subsequent ones are at a discount!

“It’s not easy to trust your intimate area”

The result of the operation is often assessed by the patient’s willingness to communicate with us. They are treated with us, then they come to us with other diseases. Entrusting your intimate area to anyone is not easy, and while women are more loyal to this, men are more modest, especially when it comes to problems with the rectum.

All patients have their own characteristics, but we are very tactful and talk to people in their language. At the beginning of the appointment, I carefully study the medical history, tune the person to my wavelength and understand how ready he is to communicate with me. Our doctors are very scrupulous in relation to patients; a carelessly spoken word or an accidental grin can hurt a person. Firstly, the patient will leave, secondly, he will never return, thirdly, he will complain, but most importantly, we strongly dislike this behavior of the doctor.

If necessary, we talk about problems with relatives, but we never press with reproaches: “How did you let yourself get so bad?” We simply treat from the tips of the fingers to the top of the head, or send them to other specialists, but the majority of patients come according to our profile - and we take care of them.

"We are doctors and we deserve respect"

That is, we are correct, sincere, we give our warmth if necessary - but only if this is a situation where the patient is ready to reciprocate. We are waiting for all people who are committed to constructive dialogue and communication. For example, we recently had a young man in a good position, his phone rang right during the reception - he picked up the phone and began discussing work issues. I made a remark, continued to explain the concept of diagnosis, and he interrupted. Then I asked him to listen to the rest, and then the patient awkwardly left.

I just want people to understand that we are not in the service industry, we are doctors and we deserve respect. Our time is completely devoted to the patient, we are not distracted.

Many people from the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the regional center turn to us for help. Surgeries on the female intimate area occur once or twice a week. We once had a flow of men, but in the summer months there is always a slight decline, and at this time we fill ourselves with other work.

Rules for the postoperative period

The rehabilitation period after blepharoplasty is up to 14 days. During this time, the patient is prescribed the following restrictions:

1. 1. Up to 3 days:

   Visual stress (reading, watching TV, using a computer or mobile devices) is prohibited.

2. 2. Up to 10 days:

   Avoid any eye fatigue and do not use cosmetics to care for the skin around the eyes.

3. 3. Up to 14 days:

   do not wear contact lenses, do not lean forward, sleep face up with your head slightly elevated.

4. 4. Up to 1.5 months:

   Avoid intense physical activity and direct exposure to sunlight.

The following symptoms are a reason to immediately consult your doctor:

• divergence or bleeding of surgical sutures;
• increasing swelling;
• dry or inflamed eyes;
• constant tearfulness;
• feeling of discomfort or tension in the surgical area;
• inability to close eyelids;
• asymmetry of the eyes.

What tests need to be taken before surgery?

Contraindications to performing a delicate operation are general - tuberculosis, cancer, circulatory disorders, but usually they come to us while still quite healthy.

Before the operation, you need to pass the usual traditional tests. First of all, we send patients to check themselves for systemic infections such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis. Over the past week alone, two cases of syphilis and one of HIV have been identified. People didn’t know about this, they were in shock. One woman came in for an axillary biopsy. Her lymph nodes were enlarged, and there are many reasons for their enlargement, including systemic infections. Having seen her tests, we refused to undergo surgery, since there was a need for serious treatment.

However, we operate on many patients with infections, we just treat this category of people very delicately. It is always better to duplicate tests, perhaps a mistake was made. Although this is an expensive mistake - it’s like giving a person cancer that doesn’t exist.

I once held the position of chief physician in a hospital in one of the regions of the region. In one village, a paramedic somehow walks by, shouting at the top of his lungs: “Manka, you come in, take some tests from the Central Regional Hospital, they asked you to come to the dermatologist.” The husband almost killed this woman when he learned that she needed to see a dermatologist, although the reason was completely banal. The issue of analysis is a very delicate one. And even when we report something terrible, we ask you to double-check.

“Did your husband notice?..”

The most inexpensive “intimate” operation is circumcision; there may be different options, but in any case, such an operation costs from 20 thousand rubles. Relatively expensive interventions cost no more than 100 thousand. As for surgeries to increase the volume of the genital organs using fillers, the cost here is determined by the amount of filler injected.

After the operation, women are more secretive; we ask them general questions. We ask whether the spouse has noticed the changes: some notice, some don’t, for some the wife gave a gift in this way.

The quality of life of patients improves - not to mention sexual life, some physiological problems are leveled out, everything goes away. A man can have normal sexual intercourse that he may not have had for a very long time.

Blepharoplasty: prices and types

The operation can be performed in various ways depending on the effect to be achieved.

1. Upper - correction of the upper eyelid, removal of excess skin or fatty tissue, formation of a fold.
2. Lower eyelid surgery - elimination of fatty hernias under the eyes.
3. Circular is a combination of the first two techniques.
4. Transconjunctival intervention is an operation after which there are no marks left on the skin. Access is carried out by the surgeon from the inner surface of the eyelid.

The price of the procedure is determined by the complexity of the work. Changing the shape of the palpebral fissure is the most affordable; circular correction is the most expensive.

“We praise and support each other”

Our clinic has almost everything for diagnostics. I have already forgotten my “channels” where I would send patients for x-rays or tests. Sometimes we indicate to a person which specialist in our clinic it is better for a person to contact, because we definitely trust our doctors, although the patient, of course, has the right to go elsewhere.

Surgeons are generally ambitious people, but here we praise and support each other, there is no professional jealousy. It is a huge plus when there is a normal professional climate in the team.

I know firsthand that there are other systems where a person has to pay for every step. That is, people pay for dressings or in case of complications, but our clinic is different, with democratic management that listens to the opinions of specialists.

If a patient requires a hospital, then he spends there as much time as necessary. We bandage wounds, observe the person, and treat him: the overall process does not end with the operation, we lead the patient to the “victorious end.”
