Dr. Edgar Lopez clarifies doubts about Nymphoplasty and its impact on women's lives

Nymphoplasty, or labiaplasty, has seen significant growth in Brazil, reflecting greater awareness about intimate health and the breaking of taboos related to the female body. Data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) show that Brazil leads the world ranking in intimate surgeries, such as the reduction of the labia minora. In the last three years, the procedure has grown 33% globally, and in Brazil, this trend is even more evident, consolidating the country as a reference in the area.

The search for surgery is related to multiple factors, from aesthetic issues to physical discomfort. Dr. Edgar Lopez, a plastic surgeon specializing in the procedure, explains that many women seek nymphoplasty to alleviate pain during physical exercise, avoid embarrassment when wearing tight clothes or even improve confidence in their sexual life. “The increase in demand also reflects women’s greater freedom to discuss their intimate health and seek solutions to issues that were previously seen as taboo,” says the doctor.

According to Dr. Lopez, the benefits of nymphoplasty go beyond appearance. “Surgery can bring a significant improvement in self-esteem and general well-being. Many women report feeling more confident and free to fully enjoy their sexuality after the procedure”highlights.

The main impacts include:

Increased self-esteem: Satisfaction with one's intimate appearance can result in greater confidence in everyday life and in relationships.

Physical comfort: Reducing the size of the labia minora eliminates discomfort caused by friction or tight clothing.

Improved sexual life: For some patients, removing excess skin can increase sexual pleasure and eliminate embarrassment during the act.

One of the biggest concerns for women considering the procedure is the impact on sensitivity. The specialist clarifies that, when performed by an experienced professional, nymphoplasty should not harm sensitivity. “In fact, some patients report an improvement in their sex life after surgery, as aesthetic issues or discomfort are no longer a concern.”ponders.

Although the procedure can be performed on teenagers, Dr. Lopez emphasizes that it is important to carefully evaluate each case. “It is recommended to wait until the patient has reached physical and emotional maturity, usually after age 18. Before that, the body is still developing, and expectations may change.”

Nymphoplasty generally has a short recovery time, especially when performed using modern techniques such as the CO2 laser. Care such as keeping the area clean, avoiding hot baths and wearing comfortable underwear are essential during the process.

This is becoming an important ally for women who want to improve their quality of life and intimate well-being. According to Dr. Lopez, “The most important thing is that patients seek reliable information and consult qualified plastic surgeons to understand the possibilities and limitations of the procedure”concludes.

The increase in demand for this surgery not only highlights the evolution of aesthetic medicine, but also reflects the courage of women in prioritizing their comfort, health and self-esteem.
