What is Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?
Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery involves a combination of two main procedures, being vaginoplasty and labiaplasty.
Vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the reshaping and
tightening of the vagina to its normal anatomical shape and diameter.
This is done by removing excess vaginal lining and tightening the
surrounding soft tissues and muscles.
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic genital surgical procedure that will reduce
the size of change the shape of the small lips on the outside of the
vagina (the labia minora).
What are the indications for these procedures?
Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty are performed for two main reasons:
firstly is the correction of anatomical or structural distortion of the
female external genitalia and the vaginal wall. This can arise as
result of congenital defect or due to the process of childbirth.
Secondly, it is also performed for the enhancement of sexual
gratification. Most women who desire vaginoplasty often complain of
feeling “loose”. This can decrease the sensation during intercourse,
resulting in lower levels of sexual satisfaction for both partners.
How does it work?
The procedure corrects the anatomical defects due to various
causes and at the same time, enhances the tone and the strength of the
vaginal muscle. It will reduce the internal and external diameter of
the vagina, leading to a higher level of sexual enjoyment.
Women who have abnormal shaped labia may complain of discomfort, pain
or lack of self-esteem. Chronic labial irritation leading to pain or
discomfort can sometimes develop if the women wear tight clothing or
during sex, sports, or other physical activities. In such cases,
Labiaplasty provides an aesthetic enhancement of the external
appearance of the genitalia, resulting in better comfort and
sensation. Women whose labia become irritated and painful will often
find relief after surgery.
How long does the Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery take?
The surgical time depends on the extent of the procedure. Your surgeon will explain at a consultation.
Do I need to be admitted for these procedures?
Yes. You may be in hospital for up to four nights.
Post operative period
Adequate pain relief is given during and after the procedures.
Women usually report mild to moderate discomfort for a few days
following the procedures. This can be easily relieved by oral
painkillers.
What are the risks associated with Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?
As with any surgery, there can be complications (both surgical
and anesthetic). However, complications are rare and may include
bleeding, infection and scarring. Proper surgical techniques will
significantly reduce these risks. Antibiotics may be given during the
procedures to prevent infections.
Is there any age limit where this procedure is not recommended?
Age is not necessarily a determining factor whether you are a
candidate for this procedure, provided that you are healthy and is fit
to undergo general anesthesia.
When can I resume sexual activity after I’ve had Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?
Approximately six to eight weeks after surgery.
