Cosmetic urology sounds pretty unusual for both medical and non-medical folks. However, it has been around since a while ago. Generally speaking, it is a field where urology meets aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery... Cosmetic urology could be defined as a medical field, which allows a urological surgeon to address aesthetic issues of genitalia area. However, the vast majority of the aesthetic issues are associated with functional problems, that all together lead to depressed mood, decreased satisfaction with sexual life, bad quality of life, and a wide spectrum of psychological problems.
Dr Ilbeigi: 'The male cosmetic urology field has grown by leaps and bounds during the last two decades. Not only have new techniques been developed by researchers in the medical community, but old techniques also have been improved in order to make the process better for every patient. More researchers realize that male cosmetic urology can improve both appearance and function for the male patient, which can have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life.'
Cosmetic (aesthetic) urology refers to such surgeries and procedures as cosmetical circumcision, penis curvature correction, hypospadia repair, penile implants, scrotal skin reduction, genitalia lesion excision, penile girth engancement and lengthening, penile enlargement injections and many more procedures. A lot of urologists specialising in the cosmetic urology are also performing other urological surgeries including urethral stricture repair, vasectomy and its reversal, female urinary incontinence surgery, where they shift towards urogynaecology performing vaginal rejuvenation, vaginoplasty and labiaplasty for women. Indeed, it is not about the men only! However, clinic interest is more often focused on men's health and andrology. Cosmetic urology also plays a major part in transgender and even pediatric surgery!
