Intimate surgery: what leads women to seek reconstructive procedures

An increasing number of women have been seeking intimate reconstructive procedures to address issues such as pain, discomfort, scarring, and anatomical changes that affect daily activities, clothing, and sexual life. This movement occurs in a context of greater discussion about intimate health and greater access to information about one's own body. Data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) reveals that approximately 201,000 female external genital surgeries were performed worldwide in 2024, with almost half of the patients (48.4%) being between 18 and 34 years old, indicating that the demand is not restricted to older women or associated only with aging-related changes.
