What is Vaginoplasty (Genital Aesthetics)?
Vaginoplasty, also known as vaginal rejuvenation or genital cosmetic surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the tightening and reshaping of the vaginal canal and surrounding tissue to improve function and appearance. This procedure can also involve the labia majora and/or labia minora.
There are several different types of vaginoplasty procedures available, including vaginal tightening, labiaplasty, and hoodectomy. Vaginal tightening involves the tightening of the vaginal canal and surrounding tissue to improve function and appearance. Labiaplasty involves the reshaping or reduction of the labia majora and/or labia minora to improve appearance. Hoodectomy involves the removal of excess tissue from the clitoral hood to improve appearance and increase sensation.
The procedure begins with the surgeon making small incisions in the area to be treated. The vaginal canal and surrounding tissue are then tightened and reshaped to improve function and appearance. The incision is then closed with sutures or surgical staples.
Vaginoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis, using general anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure can take several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery.
The recovery period after vaginoplasty can vary, but most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within several weeks. However, it may take several months for the final results to be visible.
It is important to keep in mind that vaginoplasty is a major surgical procedure, and there is a risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or scarring. It is also important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, which will typically include instructions on how to care for the surgical site, and how to avoid activities that can cause trauma to the area.
