Vaginal
Rejuvenation (Labiaplasty)
CONSIDERATIONS / PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
Child birth, multiple pregnancies,
genitics and age, can contribute to excess skin of the labia of the
vagina. Often times patients complain of pain during intercourse
or of a difficulty keeping good hygiene. Vaginal rejuvenation resolves
these issues by eliminating excess skin resulting in a natural, more
youthful shape and appearance.

| Procedure |
|
Before your procedure your RTH physician will answer any questions
that may have arose since the initial consultation and you will have
an opportunity to meet any additional staff members involved. The
RTH staff will do everything to make you feel as comfortable as possible
and will be available to address any concerns that you may have.
The procedure can vary from 1.5 to 2 hours in length. During the
procedure excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is reshaped
creating a more naturally youthful appearance.
| Recovery |
|
Just as everyone is an individual, everyone recovers differently. Avoiding
strenuous activity is recommended for a couple
of weeks following surgery. The patient should not engage in sexual
intercourse for four to six weeks after the procedure to allow for
proper healing.
A couple days after your surgery your RTH doctor will follow-up with you to see
how you’re healing, answer any questions and if necessary prescribe medication.
| Results |
|
While results may vary, vaginal rejuvenation can make a dramatic change
in not only your appearance but also your day-to-day life. Many patients
enjoy an increase in self-confidence, increased hygiene, and find a
new enjoyment in wearing their clothes.
