Vaginal Rejuvenation (Vaginaplasty) Los Angeles, CA
Vaginoplasty with Dr. Hughes in Los Angeles
Dr. Hughes in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills provides female rejuvenation procedures. Some of these procedures are referred to by various names, labiaplasty, labial rejuvenation, vaginaplasty or vaginoplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, among others. This can be extremely confusing to patients as the terminology is not consistent. The vaginoplasty refers to a procedure that involves only the vagina and not the labia.
The Vaginoplasty Procedure
The vaginoplasty (vaginaplasty) procedure has become a more popular procedure in recent years as patients have become more comfortable with expressing their concerns about their vagina and perceived looseness or laxity. Dr. Hughes performs a vaginoplasty to remedy laxity or looseness of the vagina experienced by the patient.
Vaginoplasty Surgery Day with Dr. Hughes
It is a relatively short outpatient procedure of 1 to 2 hours aimed at tightening loose vaginal tissues with no visible scars.
Results and Expectations of Vaginoplasty Surgery
In general, patients report a tighter vaginal vault, improved experience during sex, and better self esteem. Some report reduced incontinence as well.
In general, this rejuvenation procedure is not intended to treat incontinence. Other anatomic abnormalities including rectocele may preclude performing the vaginal rejuvenation procedure. Dr. Hughes will discuss in detail some of these relevant anatomic considerations during your consultation.
Recovery and Complications from Vaginoplasty
Patients must refrain from intercourse, strenuous physical activity, and vigorous cleansing during the first 6 weeks after surgery to prevent suture line disruption, opening of the incisions, and bleeding.
