A tight vagina is equated with youth thus vaginoplasty is a type of female rejuvenation surgery. Vagina may lose its stretch and becomes loose due to multiple childbirths or vaginal birth injuries. The tightness of vaginal is not definitely relevant to sexual satisfaction. However incompatible size between the female's vagina and her partner's penis could impact the sexual satisfaction for both.
Traditional vaginoplasy removes part of mucosal tissues, tightens the submucosal connective tissues with sutures, followed by closing the mucosa, which can be performed under local anesthesia with no surgery-related complications. However traditional vaginoplasy does not involve in suturing the perineal muscles so the vaginal tightening effect is limited. In Charm United Institute, we perform vaginoplasty that involves suturing the submucosal connective tissues and the perineal muscles, ensuring permanent vaginal tightening effect. The surgery is performed under intravenous general anesthesia, which lasts about an hour. Mild bleeding may happen after the surgery, which can be alleviated with warm water sitz bath and application of topical antibiotics to the wound.
Labiaplasty Minora
Small, pink-colored and tucked-inside labia minor (inner lips) are associated with youth and enhanced sexual pleasure. On the contrary, thick, prominent and dark-colored labia are signs of aging. Anterior to the minor labia is clitoris covered by clitoral hood (prepuce). Just like removal of the foreskin from penis in male circumcise, removal of the clitoral hood exposing the clitoris can increase female's sexual sensations. Labiaplasty minora is suitable for women who have
Labiaplasty minora is performed under local anesthesia. The stitches are removed one week after the surgery. It is recommended the patients avoid sexual intercourse 3-4 weeks after the surgery to prevent pain.
Labiaplasty Majora
Fullness in shape of the labia majora (outer lips) is associated with youth. On the contrary, drooping, wrinkled and darker-colored labia majora are sigs of aging. Options of labiaplasty majora include:
Hymenorrhaphy
Hymen is a thin membrane that surrounds the opening to the vagina. Many people believe an intact hymen is an indicator of one's virginity. However this is not true. Hymens can come in different shapes, and minor injuries could cause break of a hymen. Patients underwent hymenorrhaphy in our clinic are women who
Hymenorrhaphy is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous general anesthesia. The surgery repairs the hymen by suturing it back together to cover partially the opening of the vagina. During the first sexual penetration after the surgery, the reconstructed hymen will tear accompanied by slight bleeding. Hymenorrhaphy should be done two to four weeks before the wedding or the sexual intercourse so as to cause bleeding during the first intercourse after the procedure.
Q 1.My inner lips protrude past the outer lips causing itch and discomfort. Can this be fixed with surgery?
Large or protruding inner lips between the outer lips may cause irritation and increased risk of infection. The undesired appearance can lead to mental distress. Labiaplasty minora can be performed to improve the appearance of the labia and decrease the risk of infection.
Q 2.Any surgical procedure helps in lightening the color of the inner lips?
Dark-colored inner lips are usually caused by large or protruding inner lips, which can be corrected with surgical removal of the pigmented tissues caused from rubbing against clothing or skin.
Q 3.Does a labiaplasty leave obvious scars?
Labia consist mostly mucosal tissues, of which the surgical healing result in limited scar formation.
Q 4.Does giving birth by cesarean section help avoid vaginal laxity?
The feeling of vaginal looseness during intercourse after childbirth is mainly caused by stretched pelvic floor muscles due to supporting the weight of the growing baby during the pregnancy. So even women having childbirth with Cesarean section can feel vaginal laxity, though maybe not as much as women having vaginal delivery.
Q 5.How soon after childbirth can I have vaginoplasty?
It is recommended women should wait at least 3 months after childbirth to undergo vaginoplasty when the body has been fully healed after delivery. Breastfeeding mothers underwent vaginoplasty should stop breastfeeding for 1 week to avoid the anesthetic drugs getting into your baby
Q 6.Does vaginoplasty affect the lubrication during sexual intercourse?
No, vaginoplasty does not affect vaginal lubrication. In fact vaginoplasty helps in reducing the risk of vaginal infection and abnormal discharge associated with loose vagina.
Q 7.What's the difference between vaginoplasty and suturing of an episiotomy following vaginal childbirth?
The surgical repair of loose vagina performed in most OB/GYN clinics only reduces the opening of the vagina by 3-6 cm. In Charm United Institute, we perform vaginoplasty that tightens the muscle tissues in the full length of vaginal cannel from the opening of the vagina to the tip of the cervix, which ensures a better vaginal tightening effect.
Q 8.How long is the recovery time for a fat transfer or collagen injection in labia majora? When can I have sexual intercourse after?
The full recovery takes about 2 weeks. It is recommended the patients should have sexual intercourse 3 weeks after the surgery. However the recovery rate can vary depending on the individual, so it's better to consult with the doctor during the post-operative check-up for more accurate prognosis.
