Genital Filler Application: An Innovative Approach in Women's Health

In recent years, significant developments have occurred in the field of women's health, bringing about various innovative practices aimed at improving women's quality of life. One such innovative practice is the genital filler application. Genital filler is a treatment method that I perform with the aim of addressing various issues in the genital area of women, both for aesthetic and functional purposes.

What is Genital Filler? 

Genital filler is a procedure typically performed by injecting substances that are compatible with the body, such as hyaluronic acid, into the genital area. By injecting these substances under the skin, we can add volume, fill in subdermal spaces, and achieve a fuller and more youthful appearance in the area. Genital filler application is a method we prefer for effectively addressing various aesthetic and functional concerns.

In Which Cases Do We Perform Genital Filler Applications? 

We prefer genital filler application in the following cases:

1. Labia Majora Atrophy: In cases where the labia majora, or outer lips, lose volume due to aging, hormonal changes, or weight loss, we can restore volume to this area through filler application.
2. Vaginal Dryness: We can alleviate the problem of vaginal dryness and use hyaluronic acid fillers to provide moisture.
3. Postpartum Changes: We also prefer filler application to correct aesthetic and functional changes in the genital area following childbirth.
4. Aesthetic Concerns: For women who wish to improve the aesthetic appearance of their genital area, filler application is a good option.

How Do We Perform Genital Filler Applications? 

Genital filler application is generally a minimally invasive procedure that we perform under local anesthesia. The procedure is carried out in the following steps:

1. Preparation: The area to be treated is first cleaned. Then, we apply a local anesthetic cream or injection to numb the area.
2. Injection: We inject the hyaluronic acid filler substance under the skin using a fine needle or cannula. During the injection process, the patient typically experiences minimal discomfort.
3. Shaping: After injecting the filler substance, we manually shape the treated area to achieve the desired appearance.
4. Final Checks: After the procedure is completed, we examine the area and correct any irregularities if necessary.

Advantages of Genital Filler Application 

Genital filler application offers many advantages:

• Quick and Easy Procedure: The procedure can be completed in a short time and is typically performed as an outpatient treatment.
• Rapid Recovery: Since it is a minimally invasive method, the recovery time is quite short.
• Natural Appearance: Hyaluronic acid fillers provide a natural appearance as they are compatible with the body.
• Aesthetic and Functional Improvement: Both aesthetic and functional improvements are achieved.

Side Effects and Risks 

Like any medical procedure, genital filler application has some risks and side effects. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild pain at the injection site. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own within a few days. Rarer complications include infection, unwanted spread of the filler substance, and allergic reactions. Therefore, it is extremely important that the procedure is performed by an experienced and specialized doctor.

In Conclusion... 

Genital filler application is a minimally invasive and effective treatment method that holds a significant place in women's health and aesthetics. Offering successful results in addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns, this application can be considered an important step towards improving the quality of life for women. As with any medical procedure, it is crucial to conduct a thorough examination and evaluation before the genital filler application, consider the patient's expectations and health condition, and develop the most appropriate treatment plan accordingly.
