Women who experience discomfort, pain, or self-consciousness due to the appearance or function of their genital area may benefit. These procedures can also help women who have undergone childbirth or aging-related changes.

Results can be long-lasting but vary depending on factors like ageing, hormonal changes, and lifestyle. Some non-surgical treatments may require periodic maintenance.

Look for a board-certified gynaecologist or plastic surgeon with experience in aesthetic gynaecology. Check reviews, ask for before-and-after photos, and schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and concerns.

Will my medical aid cover aesthetic gynaecology procedures?

Most aesthetic gynaecology procedures are considered elective and are not typically covered by medical aid. However, checking with your specific medical aid provider for details is best.

How do I prepare for an aesthetic gynaecology procedure?

Your specialist will provide specific pre-procedure instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for post-procedure care and transportation.
