Genital aesthetic surgery in Istanbul
Intimate surgery addresses individual aesthetic or functional concerns in the genital area. Discuss the specific procedure, your expectations and follow-up directly during a private professional assessment.
What to discuss at your consultation
Discuss your functional or appearance concerns privately with the treating specialist. Clarify the exact procedure, alternatives, healing restrictions and how sensitive information and follow-up will be handled. Genital aesthetic procedures, such as labiaplasty, may be requested for comfort, function or appearance and need a careful private consultation. Ask about the specific technique, the healing period expected in your case, hygiene instructions, and when normal activities, exercise and intimacy can resume. Mention any infection, previous surgery or childbirth-related concerns. Your personal information and photographs should be handled confidentially and shared only with the treating team.
Personalised treatment plan
Your individual package includes hotel accommodation, airport welcome, VIP transfers, interpreter support and the medicines prescribed by the treating professional. Your dates and length of stay in Istanbul depend on your treatment plan; before booking, confirm them in writing together with the number of hotel nights and aftercare arrangements.
Travel and length of stay
Ask for an individual schedule before booking flights. Confirm the number of visits, review appointments and when the treating professional expects you to be fit to travel. Some treatment plans require more than one visit.
Follow-up after returning home
After you return home, we follow up with you for 2 years and we get in touch with you ourselves: close follow-up in the first week, then once a month until month 6 and every 3 months until the end of the second year.

What is genital aesthetic surgery?
Genital aesthetic surgery includes procedures that change the appearance or comfort of the external genital area, such as labiaplasty to reduce or reshape the labia. Some people request these procedures for cosmetic reasons and others because of discomfort during daily activities, exercise or intimacy.
Who may be suitable for genital aesthetic surgery?
Adults with persistent physical discomfort or concerns about appearance may be assessed. A careful medical evaluation is needed to rule out infection or other conditions and to discuss expectations. Pregnancy plans, previous surgery and childbirth-related changes are relevant, and the decision should never be rushed.
Genital aesthetic surgery: What should international patients expect in Istanbul?
Consultations are private. After a confidential initial review, the specialist in Istanbul examines you and explains the technique, anaesthesia and aftercare. After the procedure you receive hygiene and wound-care instructions and guidance on when to resume exercise and intimacy. Ask when you can travel and how follow-up will be handled from abroad.
What is recovery like after genital aesthetic surgery?
Swelling and tenderness are common in the early period. Careful hygiene, loose clothing and avoiding pressure on the area help healing. Exercise, cycling and intimacy are resumed only when the specialist confirms it is appropriate. Report bleeding, increasing pain or signs of infection without delay.
What results can be expected from genital aesthetic surgery?
Swelling is common at first, and the final appearance becomes clearer as healing progresses. Surgery can change shape or reduce discomfort, but results vary between individuals. Possible issues include asymmetry, altered sensation or delayed wound healing, which should be explained before you decide.
Genital aesthetic surgery: What is AVAN AESTH’s role?
AVAN AESTH is a coordination service and does not provide medical care. We handle your enquiry confidentially, pass information to the provider for review, arrange appointments and help with accommodation, transfers and interpreting. After you return home we remain a discreet point of contact for questions to the treating team.
