Vaginal Rejuvenation
Many women are embarrassed to ask their gynecologists about vaginal tissue looseness, enlarged or irregular labia, vaginal dryness, or loss of sexual satisfaction. In turn, most doctors are uncomfortable asking their patients about those same issues. Many women do not even realize there are surgical techniques to solve their problems. We at Partington Plastic Surgery Center are here to help you with vaginal rejuvenation treatments in our warm and comfortable setting.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a cosmetic surgery for enlarged or irregular labia and is often done for both cosmetic enhancement and medical reasons. Many women are born with large or irregular labia majora or labia minora. Others develop this condition after childbirth or with aging. The appearance of the enlarged labia can cause embarrassment with a sexual partner or loss of self-esteem.
There are two main reasons women choose to undergo this procedure: discomfort and aesthetics. Women often report difficulty with hygiene, discomfort with tight clothing, pain when exercising, labia catching in zippers, and/or painful intercourse due to the enlargement of the labia minora. Women may also experience spraying at urination and recurring urinary tract infections. If these functional problems do occur, then labiaplasty can be covered by one’s health insurance in many cases.
This surgical procedure can greatly enhance the cosmetic appearance of the vagina, giving many women greater confidence and self-esteem. And with the use of local or general anesthesia, you will be completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
What to Expect During the Recovery Period
Post-operatively, there will be discomfort at the surgical site for the first few days. Over the next four weeks, it is important to avoid the use of tampons, wearing tight clothing or thong underwear, and engaging in sexual intercourse. This will allow for adequate healing of the incision site. Full healing will take approximately six weeks. The use of bathtubs, Jacuzzis, or anything that allows the body to submerge in water is not permitted until clearance from your physician has been provided (usually three weeks after the surgery). Showering is allowed 48 hours after surgery. It is important to pat the operative areas dry and replace the dressings.
