What is a “Camel Toe?”
Have you heard this term before when you are trying on pants? This is a common term referred to when your pants ride up too high, and it is not very visually appealing. A “camel toe” can be seen when your pants are too tight, and you can visually see the outline of the lips of your vagina.
More specifically, a “camel toe” refers to displaying the shape of the mons pubis and labia majora through tight, form-fitting clothing such as tights, leggings, bathing suits, jeans, etc.
It commonly occurs when there is a fatty accumulation in the mons pubis and the labia majora, which results in a bulging of these structures, thus the term “camel toe.”
What causes a Camel Toe?
Many things can cause a camel toe, but here are some of the common causes:
- Generalized weight gain
- Weight gain with a disproportionate concentration in the vulvar area (mons pubis and labia majora)
- Hereditary factors
- Curvy women
- Aging
- A combination of these factors
This condition can be socially embarrassing and even hygienically unacceptable for many women. Some women will even refrain from wearing clothes that may accentuate this condition for fear of embarrassment. And no woman should have to feel that way.
What are the cosmetic treatment options to resolve a camel toe?
Treatment action is not necessarily required for a “camel toe,” but there are options if you have concerns about this happening to your body. If you want to fix this issue, Dr. Matlock is here to help. Here are the solutions available at Dr. Matlock’s Beverly Hills, CA office.
Surgical correction: In 15-20 minutes, you can have a simple liposculpture procedure performed. This outpatient procedure requires local anesthesia, and you’ll be back to work the next day. The liposculpture procedure only requires a small 1/4-inch incision at the top of the mons pubis. Then a very small cannula is used to aesthetically sculpt the mons pubis and labia majora, effectively removing all camel toe signs.
Non-surgical correction: Injection of the FDA-approved Kybella will strategically destroy the fatty cells over a period of weeks. This technique is done under topical anesthesia. But with this option, one may need additional treatments in four weeks.
