Cama to launch state's first gyno-cosmetic unit, where procedures will start from ₹200

MUMBAI: In a first for Maharashtra, Mumbai's government-run Cama and Albless Hospital is set to launch a dedicated gyno-cosmetic unit which will offer intimate cosmetic procedures at subsidized rates.

The hospital decided on the current move following a steady stream of queries from patients since the last five years. In Mumbai, private hospitals have been carrying out cosmetic procedures for over a decade.

The hospital has submitted a proposal to the state's health department, highlighting its aim to make the services, typically confined to expensive private hospitals, accessible to women from all socioeconomic backgrounds. Once green-lit, the department will start functioning from 2026.

The facility will provide a wide range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures, including vaginal whitening, hymen reconstruction (hymenoplasty), vaginal tightening (vaginoplasty), labiaplasty (reshaping of the labia), perineoplasty (repair of the perineum), G-spot amplification, vulvar rejuvenation, laser and radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation, clitoral hood reduction, and injectable fillers to enhance the vulva’s appearance.
