Aesthetic gynecology is a field with increasing patient interest and demand. It encompasses procedures designed to change aesthetic and/or functional aspects associated with congenital abnormalities or course-of-life women's genital changes. An increasing number of patients who are concerned about their genital appearance are searching for more information and well trained gynecologists, who are in position to offer genital cosmetic solutions. Nowadays, only few obstetricians and gynecologists have the required skills and experience to provide such services, as there are only few specific postdoc training programs. Cosmetic gynecology includes multiple surgical treatments, such as labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, clitoral hoodectomy, hymenoplasty, labia majora augmentation, G-spot amplification, etc. Non-surgical procedures have substantially increased in popularity and sounds as safe alternatives, but with questionable results. This presentation aims to increase knowledge regarding surgical and non-surgical techniques of cosmetic gynecology as it becomes more popular among women. Surrounding controversies regarding clear indications and lack of safety data, regarding long-term benefits and harms of these treatments will also be mentioned.
