What is Vaginoplasty / Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation is considered both an aesthetic and functional procedure that involves the tightening of the inner and outer muscles and structures of the vagina enhancing vaginal muscle tone, strength & control. Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure that involves the reconstruction of the once loosened vaginal cylinder using either a laser or RadioFrequency technology to help tighten the vagina and or re-sculpt the outward appearance. In tightening the vaginal area the woman can experience greatly increased frictional forces during sexual intercourse.
There are two different types of vaginal rejuvenation procedures that are typically performed, a vaginoplasty & labiaplasty. These two distinct surgeries can actually be performed at the same time. Some women may wish to have a procedure to correct the shape of her labia while others may wish to have their vagina tightened. These procedures are separate but may be performed together or individually, depending on the woman's choice.
A Vaginoplasty is a vaginal surgery aimed at tightening lax muscles to achieve a narrower and tighter vaginal canal and smaller opening. A widening of the vaginal area is often as a result of aging or childbirth. As a result, you may experience reduced sexual pleasure due to reduced friction during intercourse. Vaginal rejuvenation can also help with urinary incontinence.
This procedure typically takes about 60 minutes and can be done under general anesthesia or a local anesthesia with some sedation. By using a laser devise, greater precision can be achieved with minimal incisions. The recovery period is relatively short for most women and most patients can return to work in 3-5 days. Sexual activity can be usually be resumed in 6-8 weeks following the procedure.
When deciding upon having these procedures done, being sure you are in the appropriate hands is so very important. A board certified gynecologist with advanced training in cosmetic gynecology procedures is critical to your successful surgical outcome so please contact one of our experienced doctorstoday for more information about vaginal-rejuvenation and to schedule a consultation.
