Over the last few years, more and more women undertake Vaginoplasty as both an aesthetic and functional reconstructive solution of the area.
Vaginoplasty, also known as vaginal reconstruction or vaginal rejuvenation, is performed usually following birthing or due to painful intercourse caused by the natural shape of labia major (the larger, outer vaginal lips), or the labia minor (the smaller, inner vaginal lips).
Vaginoplasty, has recently become one of the most popular procedures of aesthetic plastic surgery. It aims at the aesthetic reconstruction of the area by tightening the lips of the vagina and removing the excess fat and tissue so as to reduce the vaginal opening and enhance the strength of the supporting muscles and tissues.
It’s addressed to women who wish to restore the anatomic functionality of that specific area of the body and increase their sexual satisfaction while also boosting their self-confidence.
Incisions are placed in a fold of the skin which is closed with absorbable sutures.
Additionally, this procedure can help correct many older scars and asymmetries in the area. If also combined with a minor lipoplasty in the area, it can help remove unwanted and visible fat of the mons pubis and upper parts of the labia majora.
There are no serious complications following the Vaginoplasty procedure. Rare side effects include wound dehiscence or infection of the areas under treatment, which can easily be avoided if you follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions.
