| Abstract |
Female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) is undoubtedly a fast-growing speciality in the world with increasing demand for a variety of procedures to beautify the female genitals. In India, over the last few years, there has been a steady growth in the interest for these procedures. A variety of FGCS procedures were performed on 76 patients from January 2012 to August 2016. The procedures performed were as follows: vaginal tightening, labia minoraplasty, labia majoraplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and hymenoplasty. Based on FSFI scores, labia minoraplasty was more valuable as a cosmetic procedure and vaginal tightening was associated with better sexual function after surgery. FGCS is no doubt in its infancy in India. However, there is a steady rise in the awareness and demand for these procedures. A combination of procedures to improve individual components leads to improved aesthetic and functional aspects of female genitalia. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2018.
All research outputs
#13,931,319
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India
#171
of 359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#175,953
of 328,130 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India
#5
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,130 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
