Issues such as discomfort during exercise or other light activities, difficulty holding tampons or visible scar tissue surrounding the vagina or trouble passing bowel movements can result from a loose vagina. So no, vaginal rejuvenation is about much more than sex.

Several procedures fall under the umbrella of vaginal rejuvenation. It is not just for cosmetic reasons, or functional reasons, but both.

VR procedures include:

Vaginoplasty – Vaginoplasty is the most common vaginal rejuvenation procedure, treating vaginal relaxation, a common condition with childbirth and aging.

Labiaplasty – An aesthetic VR procedure, often performed due to discomfort of enlarged labia that corrects enlarged or asymmetrical labia.

Hymenoplasty – The cosmetic repair or restoration of a woman’s hymen, also known as revirginization.

Clitoral Hood Reduction – A cosmetic surgical procedure which reduces the excess skin (prepuce) that covers the clitoris.

Vaginal Lengthening – Non-invasive and surgical options are available to repair a shortened vagina, a condition that occurs as a result of gynecological surgery, cervical cancer or radiation therapy.

Perineoplasty – A procedure for tightening the vaginal opening and improving its appearance, or for enlarging a vaginal opening that is too small.

ThermiVa – An in-office, non-surgical procedure for labia and vaginal tightening.

O-Shot – A procedure that uses your body’s natural responses to rejuvenate vaginal tissue and maximize function.

3. Sex will be improved

Vaginal rejuvenation tightens the vaginal canal, thus tightening a loose vagina, resulting in increased friction during intercourse and provides greater stimulation and pleasure. Studies show that 94% of vaginal rejuvenation patients experience an improvement in their sexual life after surgery. And when the aesthetic appearance is improved with labiaplasty is performed, is self-confidence improved which typically increases sex drive.

Patients should seek out a specialist who has performed hundreds of surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedures and is intimately familiar with the pelvic anatomy, patient preferences, and the most up-to-date techniques. For optimal surgical results, seek a qualified and experienced urogynecologist to perform your surgery.

A surgeon who specializes in the field of advanced female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) is ideal to perform vaginal rejuvenation. Female Pelvic Medicine and Reproductive Surgeons have received advanced training and certification in addition to their training in obstetrics and gynecology.

Patients reap the benefits of vaginal rejuvenation for the rest of their lives. While it’s normal that all parts of the body relax slightly as we age, the vaginal area should never return to the degree of relaxation experienced prior to surgery. However, additional vaginal childbirths can affect this.

Our doctors tailor vaginal rejuvenation treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs. Pricing can vary if you need more extensive work. This is especially true if you’ve had multiple vaginal deliveries, have pelvic organ prolapse, or incontinence. After a consultation, you can get a better idea of costs and what treatment plan is best for you.
