What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

There are many reasons why women have Vaginal Rejuvenation which include both health related and aesthetic benefits. Vaginal Rejuvenation is a procedure that essentially aims to tighten a vagina that has become slack or loose. It often combines a vaginoplasty and labiaplasty (labia reduction) which tighten the inner walls of the vagina as well as improve the appearance and feel.

Vaginoplasty aims to “tighten up” a vagina that has become loose from vaginal childbirth or aging. Labiaplasty or surgery on the labia (the “lips” surrounding the vagina), can be performed alone or with vaginoplasty. Plastic surgery can be performed on the labia major (the larger, outer vaginal lips), or the labia minor (the smaller, inner vaginal lips). Labiaplasty changes the size or shape of the labia, usually making them smaller or correcting any asymmetry.

Why do some women need Vaginal Rejuvenation after childbirth?

• Some women experience stretching or damage to the vaginal canal after childbirth.
• Vaginal skin and tissue naturally varies in size and appearance causing some women to feel self conscious about the appearance.
• Often there is slack or a looseness from either vaginal childbirth or aging.
• Extra vaginal skin can cause discomfort or pain, especially with activities such as exercise.
• After childbirth, some women can experience discomfort or pain during sex due to internal and external stretching.

What are the benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation?

• Vaginal Rejuvenation will improve the appearance by contouring a more symmetrical look and remove excess skin.
• Many women have stated that Vaginal Rejuvenation made them feel tightened up and gave them a refreshed look and feel.
• By removing excess skin and tissue, there is both improved comfort with activity such as exercise and an improved appearance.
• Vaginal Rejuvenation may make your vagina look and feel better, which leads to an increased self confidence.

What is recovery like after Vaginal Rejuvenation?

During the first 24-48 hours after surgery, there will be minor discomfort. You will be prescribed medications to help with the pain and an antibiotic is usually prescribed before surgery, although there is a small chance for infection. Placing ice packs on your incisions will help minimize swelling and bruising. Routine tasks are encouraged as long as there is no irritation or pressure at the incision sites. Heavy lifting must be avoided. Loose, cotton clothing and underwear are highly recommended. Driving is allowed after 2 days as long as patients are not taking narcotics.

While you should add physical activity slowly, as you are feeling better, there is no reason you should not be able to resume your normal daily activities. You may return to work within 4 days as long as rigorous physical activity is avoided, although taking a week is ideal. Heavy lifting or strenuous exercise should wait until about three weeks after the surgery. Vigorous exercise, (cycling, horseback riding, jet skis, motorcycles and four wheelers etc…) should be avoided during the recovery period. During the full 6 week recovery, you are considered on pelvic rest, which means no intercourse or tampons, and should avoid bathtubs, hot tubs, and swimming.
